This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -6.7% over these five years. The year-on-year percentage decline ranges significantly yet exhibits a steady decrement, indicating persistent weakness in the market. The forecast signifies a negative growth trajectory relative to the historical data from 2023, demonstrating the market's ongoing challenges.
