Steel Import Market Share for Sheet, Plate, Long, Tubular Products
Written by Peter Wright
This Steel Market Update report examines the import share of sheet, plate, long and tubular products and 16 subcategories. Since January, there has only been one month when the import market share of total sheet products exceeded 15 percent. The import share of HRC has been below 10 percent since January.
The most striking result in this analysis is the data for other metallic coated sheet where the import share has declined by more than half in two years. It’s notable not just because imports have declined, but also because domestic shipments have almost doubled since mid-2017.
