Import Market Share for Sheet, Plate, Longs and Tubulars
Written by Peter Wright
This report examines the import share of sheet, plate, long and tubular products and 16 subcategories.
Since January 2019, the import market share of total sheet products has been below 15 percent with an 11-month average of 14.0 percent. The import share of HRC has been below 10 percent since January 2019. The most striking result in this analysis is the data for other metallic coated sheet, which shows the import share has declined by more than half in two years, not just because imports were down but also because domestic shipments have increased by almost 50 percent since mid-2017.
