European Sold Production of Cold-Formed Sections, Obtained from Flat Products, of Non-Alloy Steel, Not Coated by Country

In 2023, Italy led European production of cold-formed sections at 531.91 million kilograms, with a modest 1.06% increase. Poland and Germany showed slight declines, while France saw a positive growth of 2.4%. The United Kingdom experienced the most significant surge with a 12.85% increase. Emerging markets like Sweden and the Netherlands also posted strong growth rates of 7.93% and 6.42% respectively. However, countries like Croatia and Serbia faced declines, with Serbia experiencing an 8.51% decrease. Over the last five years, these trends suggest slight growth and more volatility in emerging markets.

Future trends to watch include:

• Continued growth in established markets like Italy and the UK with potential for expansion in Eastern European countries.
• Market volatility in smaller markets like Croatia and Serbia may continue.
• Environmental policies and the push for sustainable products could drive innovation in non-coated steel sections.
• Technological advancements in production methods could enhance efficiency and output across the region.
