Quirks

Only the top two users are labelled with numeric values, so this is a two-row partial fill; ranks 3 to 10 (India, South Korea, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Spain, Turkiye) are unlabelled bars and are deliberately not fabricated.
Refined-metal USAGE (ILZSG basis, 2022 data), distinct from the co-resident USGS apparent-consumption rows; never sum the two. No newer Lead Factbook edition exists as of 2026-07 (verified on ilzsg.org).

Partial fill of the single-economy (US-only) consumption-geography gap on the lead dossier: adds the two labelled world users ILZSG publishes for free.
