There will be an upward trend with yearly sales rising from just below 150,000 in 2010 to 400,000 units in 2020, although a slight decrease is predicted to emerge in the year 2013 and 2018.

Can I pelace decrease with deflection, and which one is better?

Thank you.

@jinmin1988,
No, you can't. Deflection and decrease are not similar words.

@engineer,
The original sentence was written by me, I just wonder which one is more appropriate according to the meaning?

@jinmin1988,
Decrease is the correct term. Deflection is not correct; you can't use it and have the sentence make sense.
