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 France

The import of flat-rolled products of alloy steel other than stainless, with a width less than 600 mm and not further worked than hot-rolled, to France is forecasted to decline from 11.594 million kilograms in 2024 to 10.151 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease in import volume. Considering the actual data from 2023, this projected decline reflects a downward trend in demand or availability, with an average annual decrease, represented as CAGR, over the five-year period. As such, stakeholders should anticipate challenges due to reduced import volumes in the near future.

Future trends indicate that market players should monitor factors including potential changes in European Union trade policies, advancements in manufacturing technologies, and shifts in domestic demand for these alloy steel products. Additionally, global economic conditions and their impact on steel trade could further influence imports to France.
