Canadian Apparent Domestic Market - Latest 10 Years (Graph)

Caution should be exercised when interpreting statistics relating to apparent domestic market. The reason it is called apparent and not real domestic market is due to at least two factors which can distort the results

  1. Trade data are valued at the border on a commodity-by-commodity basis and may be different from the value at the plant gate due to such factors as freight, handling charges, third-party mark-ups and the like. In short, the value at the factory door may be lower than at the border and in some cases where a very larger proportion of the product is exported, it may appear as though one exports more than one produces. While this would appear illogical, it is not necessarily due to errors in recording.
  2. Some large plants manufacture products classified to industries other than their own yet all of their plants output, for statistical purposes, is attributed to the industry to which it is classified. In this case, the market for a particular set of goods may be smaller than it appears to be.
