The slowdown in sales of French long steel products persists. Market activity remains sluggish, with demand showing no significant signs of recovery. Producers are facing challenges as buyers continue to delay purchases, contributing to the ongoing deceleration.
The construction sector, a major consumer of long products, is particularly affected, with infrastructure projects being the primary source of demand. Despite these difficulties, prices have remained relatively stable, although there is concern about potential declines if the market does not pick up soon.
