Comparing actual data from earlier years, 2023 saw a slightly lower percentage, emphasizing a positive trend. Year-on-year growth rates for the forecast period are incremental, with the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicating consistent growth over the five-year span. This increase is notable in a traditionally male-dominated profession.
