The product classifications used for the collection of sales and trade information differ, and sales information is not collected from smaller companies. 2 There have been changes over the years in the products included in the heading and to the coverage of the inquiries. Therefore, the series may not be consistent over time. Full details for each product are in the relevant Business Monitors. 3 A new system of product classification was introduced on 1 January 1988. 4 Sales statistics are not available, therefore, turnover is used. 5 not available.
