* Industry Canada estimates
** Beginning in 2000, data includes very small establishments. This accounts for the large jump in establishments, and for part of the increase in shipments and employment.

This Canadian industry comprises establishments, not classified to any other Canadian industry, primarily engaged in manufacturing inorganic chemicals.
