nevertheless

it is forecasted to significantly rock to 27% in 2040.

On the other hand

, Sweden’s number underwent a smooth upward from 1940 to 1980, at 7% and 14% respectively.

Thereafter

, it bounced back twice from 1980 to 2000 and from 2015 to 2030.

However

, it considerably spiked from 2030 and will reach 25% in 2040, as the second place in that time. From the USA’s standpoint, it was the highest in 1940 at approximately 9% and gradually developed to 15% in 1980. Following a small decline from 1980 to 2020, it ultimately touches 22.5% in 2040.
