Data sources: Manufacture of bricks, tiles and construction products, in baked clay
What data actually exists about this industry, who typically holds it, at what granularity, and how obtainable it is. Public means openly published; purchasable is sold by a vendor; partnership needs a bilateral deal; exclusive is effectively locked up by one party.
