Table 10 summarizes sales statistics for the principal segments of the iadustry. The data were gathered by a survey conducted annually by the editors of Ceramic Indust iy magaziae. In 1991, the survey scope was changed from U.S. to a worldwide basis (119,124). Tables 11 and 12 present data gathered by U.S. Department of Commerce agencies. 

Production, appHcation, and value of many industrial gums are not pubHcized because many of the uses are maintained as trade secrets. However, estimates of gum production, consumption, and cost may be obtained by reference to the U.S. Department of Commerce figures, market research reports, and trade journals. Estimates for the sales and prices of the principal gums are shown in Table 3.

The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates total production of about 163,000 t in 1990. Other estimates based on demand data indicate that it was as high as 175,000 t. With demand and supply in balance, it is estimated that in 1997 the demand will be 185,000 t. The distribution in product demand is projected to be the following 1,4-butanediol and other acetylenic chemicals (45%), vinyl chloride monomer (45%), acetylene black (5%), and industrial use (5%).
