Forecast: Import of Flat-Rolled Products of Alloy Steel Other than Stainless of a Width Less than 600 mm Not Further Worked than Hot-Rolled to Italy

The forecast for Italy's import of flat-rolled alloy steel products suggests a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 17.516 million kilograms in 2024, a steady annual decrease brings it down to 16.484 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a year-on-year decline of about 1% to 2%. In 2023, the actual import stood slightly higher than the 2024 projections, indicating the onset of this downward trajectory. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period signals an average yearly decline in imports.

Future trends to watch include potential global economic shifts, such as changes in demand patterns and trade regulations, which may influence supply chains and impact Italy’s steel import market. Additionally, progress in alternative materials or advancements in domestic production capabilities could further alter import dynamics.
