Year-on-year growth reflects a consistent upward trend, suggesting increasing demand driven by regulatory pressures and environmental initiatives.
Future trends to watch include:
- Regulatory changes that may influence lime usage.
- Technological advancements in flue gas treatments and industrial applications.
- Market dynamics affecting raw material supply and lime production costs.
