In addition, the proportion of the UK grew about 4% to 6% each year. Especially, there has been a dramatic increase of about 10% in the last year.

In 2013, the rate in the USA was 10%. It escalated by 15% in the next year and leveled off in the next two years. In the interim, the EU’s quota fluctuated wildly. In 2015, the proportion of EU hit its bottom – approximately 21%. Besides, the growth of its fraction was pretty similar during two periods – between 2013 and 2014, 2016 and 2017 by about 3%.
