The year-on-year variations have shown a persistent negative trend, with the most recent years exhibiting sharper declines, such as a -5.67% variation in 2023. Over the past five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averaged at -5.30%. Forecasts suggest a continued downward trajectory, with an anticipated CAGR of -5.99% between 2024 and 2028, translating to a cumulative decrease of 26.56% by 2028.
