Market Outlook — Tighter Supply Expectations
Management expects industry supply growth to normalize to ~1% for 2026 (versus 12% in 2025) and foresees longer-term constrained supply (1%–2% p.a.) due to regulatory and technological limits, supporting a structurally tighter market vs. recent oversupply.
