Data Insights

Numbers, trends & sources behind this chart

• Values are shown as reported by the source. Nothing is rescaled, rebased or converted — the only changes are thousand separators and decimals shown to two places.
• Missing years are left empty rather than estimated — no interpolation, no carrying a previous year forward.
• Change is measured between the first and last year in which an entity actually reported a value, so a series that starts late is not penalised for the years before it existed.
• The compound annual rate is (last ÷ first)^(1 ÷ years) − 1, using those same two reported years.
• Entities are ranked highest-first on their value in 2024.
• An entity that reported nothing in the latest year is still listed — it follows the ranked entities in the table rather than being dropped.
