The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecasted period underscores an average annual decline.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements in alternative processes requiring less sulfur.
- Environmental regulations influencing production levels.
- Changes in global supply chain dynamics and imports/exports affecting domestic supply.
