Analysis And Forecast to 2020 presentsa variety of tables and figures on a wide range of industry-related topics.

8. Page 8 IndexBox Marketing © 2016 www.indexbox.co.uk Sample Report U.S. Blinds And Shades Market. Analysis And Forecast to 2020 Domestic production The U.S. Census Bureau collects annual information about establishments. Value of production shipments are primarily based on information obtained from manufacturing companies with $500 million or more in annual shipments. In order to strengthen the sample coverage in individual industry categories, the U.S. Census Bureau includes selected smaller companies. The sources from which companies are identified for inclusion in the survey panel are the quinquennial economic censuses (manufacturing sector) and the Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM). For firms that operate in a single industry category, the reporting unit typically comprises all operations of the company. Most large, diversified companies, however, file separate reports for divisions with significant activity in different industrial areas. Imports and Exports The UN Comtrade is used for trade data and is based on the 6-digit Harmonized System (HS). HS was developed by the World Customs Organization (WCO). The system covers approximately 5,000 commodity groups, each identified by a six-digit code. More than 179 countries and economies use this system. The UN Comtrade database contains more than 3.1 billion trade records starting from 1962. Consumption and Market Value In this report, apparent consumption is calculated as Consumption = Production (Value of Shipments) + Imports – Exports. Variations in inventory are not taken into account. The information in this report is as detailed as possible. However, in some cases, qualitative data is not available on a product or a sub-sector level. In these cases information on the sector level is provided. Competitive landscape The industry snapshots present key statistics from three Census Bureau economic programs, as well as per capita ratios using data from Population Estimates. Historical data are not shown when they are not comparable due to NAICS changes. See Definitions and Comparability in the Industry Statistics Portaland the Snapshot FAQs for more information. The 2012 Economic Census was released on a flow basis so some data may not yet be available, and data for some industries are only available for the U.S. and by State. For more information, see the release schedule and the GeographicCoverage Tables.
