> These shipments have increased from 140 million per year to more than 1 billion over 10 years

So a decrease? Or is this saying that after 10 years its 1billion/year?

Over the past ten years, these shipments have increased from $140 million to over $1 billion annually.

the latter, it's just a bit ambiguously worded. In the past 10 years shipments have increased from 140 million per year to over 1 billion per year.

It's not ambiguous unless you count "open to HN pedantry".
