The quantities of industrial chemicals and new virgin resins produced are used as an indicator of the economic condition of the chemical manufacturing industry; as an input to Canada's Gross Domestic Product and as an input into macro- and micro-economic studies to determine market shares and industry trends. Data are used by the business community, trade associations (including the Canadian Chemical Producers' Association), federal and provincial departments and international organizations.
Reference period: Month
Collection period: During the month following the reference month.

Data sources and methodology
Target population
The target population for this survey includes manufacturers in Canada of industrial chemicals and synthetic resins as defined in the Standard Classification of Goods (SCG), that report these products to the Annual Survey of Manufactures and Logging or ASML (record number 2103). This means that estimates from this monthly survey do not cover the entire universe of industrial chemicals and synthetic resins producers in Canada, because the ASML does not survey all businesses. Instead, the ASML uses administrative data to cover the small and medium-sized establishments. These manufacturers are not part of this monthly survey.
Sampling
This survey is a census with a cross-sectional design.
This methodology does not apply.
