Collecting statistics

The numbers behind the hobby, organised for anyone who needs to quote them: key figures up top, a source and a date on every figure, tables you can download as CSV and charts you can embed. Our pages combine sourced industry figures with figures from our own catalogue that nobody else publishes. Each page is updated on the 1st of every month, and each January the previous year's edition is frozen as a permanent archive.
