Yet, over the period 2010-2015, metal processing exports declined in value by on average 7.2% per year, as a result of the negative cycle in international metal commodity prices. Nevertheless, production volume rose significantly, by a CAGR of 4.2% in the period, sustained by strong domestic demand.
