Forecast: Import of Sections L/T of Iron or Non-Alloy Steel Not Further Worked Than Hot-Rolled, Hot-Drawn or Extruded, of a Height of More Than 80 mm to France

In 2023, the import volume of sections L/T of iron or non-alloy steel not further worked than hot-rolled, hot-drawn, or extruded, with a height of more than 80 mm, was notably higher than the forecasted data for 2024 to 2028. Over this period, a continuous slight decline is predicted, with a cumulative decrease in the overall import volume from 2024 through 2028. The average annual decrease, calculated as a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), reflects a gradual reduction in imports.

Future trends to watch for include:

• Potential influence of technological advancements on steel processing efficiency.
• Economic factors impacting France's industrial demand for such imports.
• Trade policies that may affect import volumes and competitive dynamics.
