How to use these figures.
This is a selected reference, not a forecast or a market-size estimate. Every statistic links to the public agency or public document that reported it. Sales, taxes, fees and public distributions are intentionally labeled separately because they measure different things.
For time-sensitive reporting, use the linked public record and retain the source's publication date and reporting period when you cite a figure.
