US import hot dipped galvanized and Galvalume coil prices continue to hold steady week-over-week, but with climbing global raw materials costs, coupled with “outstanding demand,” it’s believed that prices could continue to move upward.

Sources also note that import tonnage volumes are still robust.

Preliminary census data from the US Department of Commerce notes that for the month of March, US buyers imported 221,712 mt of hot dipped galvanized sheet and strip from global sources, with the most significant offshore source being Taiwan, at 30,435 mt, making March 2021 the strongest month for imports of hot dipped galvanized sheet and strip since January 2020, when the US imported 224,124 mt.

Current prices are listed in the chart below.
