How do I forecast depreciation over a five year horizon?

The current formula I am using is (Depreciation Current year / PPE, gross Previous year) * PPE, gross current year.

Current year (20X2) depreciation is 2,407

The issues I am having is how to find PPE, gross.

The information provided for PPE is:

20X2 20X1
Land and Land improvements 213 224
buildings and building and leasehold improvements 5678 6049
Information Technology Equipment 9643 10589
Production, engineering, office, and other equipment 3161 3222
Total - gross 18695 20085
Less: Accumulated depreciation 13361 14390
Total - net 5334 5694

If I can figure out what PPE, gross is for 20X3 - 20X7, I will be able to figure this out.
