In July, the French rebar market has experienced a continued period of sluggishness, as low orders and prevailing uncertainties grip the industry. Distributors have expressed concerns over the lackluster performance of private residential construction, which has significantly impacted rebar sales volumes across the country.
Domestic rebar prices range from €590 to €640 per tonne, including size and depending on tonnage. Lower-priced rebar imports from Italy and Spain are impacting the southern regions, , while German material is competing with domestic rebar in the north.
Market experts attribute the decline in the private residential construction sector to multiple factors, including the prevailing economic uncertainty, rising housing costs, and stricter regulations on property developments. As a result, potential homeowners are hesitating to invest in new projects, leading to a slump in rebar demand for this segment.
distributors and manufacturers are reevaluating their strategies to adapt to the changing market dynamics. They are focusing on optimizing production efficiency, exploring export opportunities, and diversifying their product offerings to reduce reliance on the domestic market.
As the holiday season takes hold, many businesses across the country experience a temporary slowdown, and the construction industry is no exception. The market's sluggishness during this period is exacerbating the challenges faced by the rebar sector.
