The forecast for the import of woven products of iron or steel, excluding stainless steel, to the US shows a gradual decline from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the volume was recorded at approximately 6.27 million kilograms, indicating a steady decrease annually both in terms of percentage and projected volumes. Year-on-year decreases range around 1.3% to 2.0% during this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the 5-year period starting in 2024 is negative, highlighting a downward trend in imports for these products. This reflects a consistent reduction in import demand or potential shifts to domestic production.
Future trends to watch for in this sector include:
- Advancements in technology and materials that may affect the production and usage of woven iron or steel products.
- Trade policies and tariffs that could further influence the cost and flow of these imports.
- Emerging markets and alternative materials that may offer substitutes or impact supply chains.
