In 2023, Germany led European exports of cold-formed sections from stainless steel with significant volume, followed by Italy and France. Notably, Italy and Finland experienced substantial annual growth rates. Austria and some smaller exporters like the Netherlands, Greece, and Latvia saw declines. Bulgaria, albeit small in volume, had an exceptional growth rate.
Future trends to watch include potential market growth in emerging countries due to infrastructure demands, increased automation in production processes, and sustainability trends. Close attention should be given to policy changes in the EU affecting steel tariffs and environmental regulations impacting production and export capacities.
