Reading This As A Comparison
With 5 series on one chart, the shape that matters is how the ranking shifts over time, not just where each line starts or ends.
A group with a small share can still matter most for the story — it is often the rate of change, not the current level, that is worth the closer look.
For planning purposes, the end-year figure and the growth rate are the two numbers that matter. Together they show how large the China Satellite Bus market is projected to become and how quickly it gets there.
The numbers here come from a market sizing model: historical revenue estimates up to the 2018 base year, then forecasts through 2027 using growth-rate assumptions for each segment. The underlying report explains the methodology in detail.
