    Each measure is fetched again once its saved copy is a day old. If a source is down, the last good copy stays. When you reuse the numbers, credit the source and follow its licence. The WHO licence (CC BY-NC-SA) does not allow commercial reuse.

    Where does the data come from?

    Straight from public sources: the World Bank, the World Health Organization, the OECD, UNICEF, Our World in Data, the US CDC and ClinicalTrials.gov. Each chart names its source and links to it.

    How often is it updated?

    Every day. The dashboard keeps a saved copy of each measure and fetches a new one from the source daily.

    Can I download the numbers?

    Yes. Press CSV above the charts to download the chosen places or every place, with the source on each row.

    Is it free to use?

    Yes, the dashboard is free. When you reuse the numbers, credit the original source shown under the charts and follow its licence.

    How is the trend worked out?

    It is a straight line through each place's last 10 years, carried forward. It shows where things head if nothing changes, not a forecast model.

    Where can I get market sizes and forecasts?

    Our market research reports cover 2024 historical data, a 2025 base year, forecasts through 2034 and key companies. Browse market reports.

    Figures come straight from each source and are refreshed every day. Sources sometimes fill gaps with estimates, and groups such as "World" or "South Asia" are their own totals. For market sizes, forecasts and company data, see our market reports.
