Based on the provided forecasted data:
Year Value (Million Metric Tons) 2024 47.73 2025 47.95 2026 48.16 2027 48.36 2028 48.56
The year-on-year percentage variations represent a steady but modest growth trend:
2024-2025: ((47.95 - 47.73) / 47.73) * 100 = 0.46% 2025-2026: ((48.16 - 47.95) / 47.95) * 100 = 0.44% 2026-2027: ((48.36 - 48.16) / 48.16) * 100 = 0.42% 2027-2028: ((48.56 - 48.36) / 48.36) * 100 = 0.41%
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last 5 years is:
CAGR = ((48.56 / 47.73)^(1/5) - 1) * 100 = 0.34%
Future Trends to Watch
