TABLE 1.
Estimated global production volumes of FBS by region reported in the literature.
| Region | FBS Volumes in Liters (Hodgson, 1993) | Ratio | FBS Volumes in Liters (Festen, 2007) | Ratio | FBS Volumes a in Liters (RMBIO, 2016; ISIA, 2020) | Ratio a |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australia and New Zealand | 60,000 | 11.5% | 120,000 | 20.0% | 154,000 | 20.0% |
| USA | 210,000 | 40.4% | 300,000 | 50.0% | 200,000 | 26.0% |
| The Americas (without USA) | 175,000 b | 33.7% | 180,000 | 30.0% | 338,000 | 44.0% |
| Europe | 47,000 | 9.0% | 50,000 | 6.5% | ||
| Africa | 25,000 | 4.8% | — | — | 8,000 | 1.0% |
| Others | 3,000 | 0.6% | — | — | 19,000 | 2.5% c |

a
Numbers based on the USA volumes by RMBIO (2016) and ratios by ISIA (2020).
b
The original table by Hodgson (1993) displays arithmetical errors regarding the sums of these two volumes. For this table, the sums of the individual volumes of each reported country were chosen instead.
c
The original figure by ISIA (2020) does not display this percentage. It was calculated by subtracting the displayed percentages from 100%.
