9.7 Where can I find production data for commercial chemicals

Both Kirk Othmer and Ullmann tabulate production data, and identify
major manufacturers, and more recent information is found in monographs
in CMR. C&EN also tabulates production data for the major industrial
chemicals and publishes an annual listing of the top 50 chemicals. Lists of
manufacturers of chemicals are found in compilations such as Chemical
Sources [2,3] and trade directories. There are also industry organisations
such as the Chemical Manufacturers Association that maintain records of
production. Specialist industry journals usually provide annual surveys
of production and capacity. Government departments ( often the Dept. of
"Trade & Industry" or "Commerce" ) also compile national production
statistics.
