I don't see anything too surprising. 1980 looked a lot like 1970 because all of the folks from 1970 were dead. 2000 started to increase in numbers, probably due to better success with transplants and the introduction of TKIs. Those folks were alive in 2010, plus joined by new patients. The future projected years show the survivng TKI folks getting older, and eventually dying from other causes.
There looks to be some increase in numbers beyond survivability, this could be that tests to detect CML have improved, or that more people are being screened and diagnosed? Or that the surveyed population had also increased.
I think it is a positive story in that you can see more people growing old while having the disease. The article shows that the 10 year survival rate was 10% in the late 80s, 80% in 2006, and 84% in 2016. They show it maxing out at 90% in 2060. With a predicted stable rate of 30 cases per 100,000 people, it will continue to be a somewhat rare disease, but quite survivable.
