Earlier Report Observations

The market for iron or steel towers and lattice masts in Germany showed considerable volatility in volume between 2018 and 2024. Starting at 290 thousand tons in 2018, consumption fell sharply to 195 thousand tons in 2020, then rebounded to 266 thousand tons in 2021 before declining again in subsequent years.

By 2024, the market volume had contracted to 183 thousand tons. This final period was shaped by a recession in the domestic steel industry, which constrained raw material availability and production. High prices for construction steel continued to pressure the building sector, while new technical standards for electricity transmission infrastructure, promoting lower-profile designs, began to influence traditional product demand.
