Average annual compound growth

Annual average compound growth rate (1980—1990). Excluding bonding or adhesive materials. 

From fiscal 1984 through 2002, SYSCO s compound annual sales growth rate was over 9% as compared to an industry average of 2.6%. SYSCO s historical sales and earnings increases through fiscal year 2004 are shown in Table 5.1. SYSCO s available market space is approximately 207 billion. With sales of almost 30 billion, it has approximately a 14% market share. 

In 2002, total world consumption of PPS compounds was just over 50,000 tonnes. Assuming a filler content of 45%, this is equivalent to pol5mier consumption of approximately 27,500 tonnes. Between 1995 and 2000, the average annual growth in world PPS consumption was 11-12%. However, demand was lower by nearly 9% in 2001 due to the downturn in major markets such as automotive and E E. The small appliances sector has been more resilient. Market growth... 

Reported sales data were obtained using Compustat. For both the individual company and the industry average, we calculated a sales compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) using the formula ... 

Initially, just two major resin manufacturers— in North America and Europe— produced polycarbonate. The industry has since expanded to include a half-dozen other supphers in Europe, Asia/Padfic, and North America. Currently, polycarbonate is produced on four continents. Demand for this versatile polymer has increased steadily since its commercial introduction in the early 1960s. Compounded annual growth rates typically average 10%. 

Table 7.1 summarizes the quantitative estimates of biomass burning in the tropics. We estimate that a total of 2700-6800 Tg of C are annually exposed to fires, of which 1800-4700 Tg of C are biuned. The average chemical composition of dry plant biomass corresponds closely to the formula CH2O. The nutrient element content varies with seasonal growth conditions on a mass basis it is relatively low about 0.3-3.8 % N, 0.1-B.9 % S, 0.01-0.3 % P, and 0.5-3.4 % K [25]. Consequently, although the emissions from biomass combustion are dominated by CO2, many products of incomplete combustion that play important roles in atmospheric chemistry and climate are emitted as well, for example, CO, H2, CH4, other hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, and organic acids, and compounds...
