In "steep" decline

" .........has been in steep decline."
Besides the word "steep," could you give me some more synonyms for it to describe a rapid decline?

rapid, sharp....what else?
Does it make sense if I use "drastic" in the example? - in a drastic decline - ??
No....?

Thanks for your help in advance. Emotion: smile
