The five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) captures this negative momentum, averaging an annual decline.

Future trends to watch:

Potential market shifts towards sustainable or alternative materials.
Changes in Japan's manufacturing sector affecting paraformaldehyde demand.
Trade policies impacting import dynamics.
Technological advancements in production methodologies affecting demand-supply balance.
