This projection reveals a declining trend with a year-on-year decrease of around 4-5%. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period averages a reduction of approximately 4.5% per year, indicating a subdued demand or a shift in supply dynamics.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impacts of technological advancements in the fibre industry that may alter demand.
- Shifts toward more sustainable or alternative fibre options in response to environmental policies.
