The figures of sales of private cars are expected to stand at 1.5 million in 2010, then it will double by the year 2013, followed by a plummet to 2.5 million in 2014.
As "plummet" is a noun in the sentence, can it be followed by "to" here?
Thank you.
followed by a plummet to 2.5 million in 2014.
followed
by / plummet
to / million

It sounds right to me. But I'm not certain of the grammatical rules, so maybe someone else can confirm it.

Do the coloured words suggest a mistake? They should.
Omitting the word "to" would be a mistake.
A plummet to 2.5 million
A climb to 4 million
Stumble It!
