This data indicates a consistent reduction year-on-year. The average annual decrease, or compound annual growth rate (CAGR), over this five-year period will be negative, highlighting a downturn in acetic acid import values from 2024 to 2028. Unfortunately, the specific 2023 import value is not provided, complicating specific comparison over the last two years.

Future trends to watch for:
