From 2013 to 2013, the market saw a substantial increase by 14.35%, followed by a sharp decline of 68.49% in 2014. This trend of volatility continued up to 2017, but the market stabilized and began growing steadily from 2018 onwards. By 2023, the value stood at $63.843 million, highlighting the projected steady growth through to 2028 with an overall CAGR of 2.8% over the next five years.
