European Sold Production of Steel Tubes and Pipes, of Non-Circular Cross-Section, Welded of an External Diameter Less than 406,4 mm by Country

In 2023, Italy led European production of non-circular, welded steel tubes and pipes under 406.4 mm diameter, dominating with significant production volumes, followed by Portugal, Poland, and Hungary. Noteworthy year-on-year growth was observed in Portugal and Greece, marking 9.58% and 9.56% increases respectively. Italy also showed robust growth at 9.05%, while Spain observed a significant decline of 23.24%. Denmark exhibited the highest growth rate at 13.91%. Conversely, Lithuania saw a substantial drop of 21.57%. Over the last five years, consistent production growth trends offer a promising outlook for this sector.

Future trends to watch include technological advancements in welding techniques that may improve efficiency and reduce production costs. Additionally, growing demand in sectors like automotive and construction is likely to drive production, while sustainability and environmental regulations could influence manufacturing practices and materials used. Monitoring shifts in international trade policies will also be crucial for European producers.
