Note.--Shares and ratios shown as “0.0” percent represent non-zero values less than “0.05” percent (if positive) and greater than “ (0.05)” percent (if
negative). Zeroes, null values, and undefined calculations are suppressed and shown as “---“. Period changes preceded by a “ ▲” represent an
increase, while period changes preceded by a “▼” represent a decrease.
fn1.--Reported data are in percent and period changes are in percentage points.
fn2.--Since independent fabricators' U.S. shipments are already reporteded once either in U.S. producers' U.S. shipments or as an imported quartz
surface product, they are not added into the calculation of overall apparent U.S. consumption so as to avoid doublecounting the same merchandise.
For additional detail on the calculation of apparent consumption see part IV.
fn3.--Percent changes only calculated when both comparison values represent profits; The directional change in profitability provided when one or
both comparison values represent a loss.
