Between January and October, France imported a total of 325.2 thousand tons of steel from non-EU countries. This import volume reflects the country’s ongoing efforts to meet domestic steel demand amidst fluctuating production levels.
The increase in imports is part of a broader trend observed across the European steel market, where external sources are increasingly relied upon to supplement local production. This shift is influenced by various factors, including competitive pricing and the need to maintain a steady supply chain.
