Reading This As A Comparison
This is a comparison chart, 2 groups at once — the interesting question is usually how the gap between them changes, not the value of any single group in isolation.
Do not confuse "biggest" with "fastest-growing" — they are frequently different series on a chart like this one, and the gap between them can close faster than the current ranking suggests.
The most practical way to read this is relative: set the UK SMC and BMC market figures beside other regions or segments of the same market to see where growth is concentrated.
Figures before the 2018 base year are historical estimates; the years through 2030 are projections built from industry data, company revenues, and primary interviews. Forecasts are revised as new data comes in, so check the full report for the latest assumptions.
