Steel imports into the European Union rose 14% year on year in 2025, including semi-finished products, while finished steel imports increased 9%. Flat steel shipments climbed 7% and long steel imports surged 17%, showing stronger foreign inflows across key product segments.
EUROFER said the sharpest increase came late in the year. In the fourth quarter of 2025, total steel imports jumped 53% year on year, while finished steel imports rose 35%. The association linked the trend to U.S. tariffs and wider global trade uncertainty, which added pressure to the European market.
Turkey was the largest supplier of finished steel to the EU, holding a 16.5% share, followed by South Korea, Indonesia, China, India, and Ukraine. EUROFER also said imports stayed at historically high levels, widening the EU’s steel trade deficit in 2025.
