In 2023, imports stood significantly higher compared to the forecasted values for 2024 and beyond. A year-on-year analysis indicates a consistent decrease in import values each year. From 2024 to 2025, there is a 8.89% decline, followed by a further 9.56% drop in 2026, then a 10.34% decrease in 2027, and finally an 11.30% fall by 2028.
