The foresight for 2025 indicates a 3.1% upturn to 214.85 million kilograms. Advancing to 2026, projections show a further 2.9% increase to 221.24 million kilograms. Continued growth is expected with a 2.8% rise to 227.5 million kilograms in 2027 and a 2.7% climb to 233.64 million kilograms for 2028. Over this five-year span, this averages to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.9%.
