The forecast for the import of flat rolled iron or non-alloy steel plated with tin of a width less than 600 mm to Canada shows a slight downward trend. In 2023, imports stood at a certain level and are expected to decrease each subsequent year from 2024 to 2028. Year-on-year percentage declines are consistent at roughly 0.5% to 0.6% annually. Over a five-year span, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) would indicate a modest contraction in imports, averaging around 0.5% reduction per year.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in global steel markets which could influence supply and pricing.
Changes in Canadian manufacturing demand, particularly in sectors utilizing tin-plated steel.
The impact of emerging technologies and materials that may replace traditional steel products.
Possible trade policy changes that could affect import volumes and conditions.
