Year-on-year variations show a consistent reduction averaging around -0.7% annually.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Potential regulatory changes affecting chemical imports.
- Evolving environmental policies impacting demand and production.
- Alternative technologies that might reduce reliance on tetrachloroethylene.
- Market shifts due to domestic production capabilities or economic factors.
