The document numbers buyers actually ask for in a quote. Each is a document, not a description.

Method. Each figure was taken from the publisher's own page or API — the UN Comtrade public preview API (queried directly), Eurostat, the research houses named in each row, listed companies' own reports and official standards portals (EUR-Lex, openstd.samr.gov.cn, ASTM, BSI). Forecast figures are quoted as published and labelled as forecasts - we do not blend them into one number, because they disagree. Every link was opened and the figure matched against the page text on 2026-10-10 with an automated verification pass; figures that could not be matched to their source were removed rather than rounded.
