Industrial Machinery & Supplies & Components Data for Market Researchers & Consultants

Ranking goes by research fit: eight relevance-3 records carry the sizing work, three relevance-2 sets map the supply side, and one relevance-1 archive closes the list, ordered by quality inside each tier.

The Federal Reserve's Industrial Production & Capacity Utilization (G.17) release publishes the NAICS 333 machinery production index monthly, with the full historical database reaching back to 1919 — a century of cycle record in the commercial delivery terms, HTML, PDF and XML bulk files.

The NBER-CES Manufacturing Industry Database adds the cross-section: an annual 1958–2018 panel covering 364 six-digit NAICS industries — 22,204 rows in the 2012 NAICS version, roughly 5 MB per format — with output, payroll and total factor productivity in CSV, Stata, Excel and SAS. It is static, fixed at version 2021a, so cite it as a structural baseline rather than a moving indicator.

Eurostat's Comext system is the only source here built for cross-border comparison: monthly and annual machinery flows reported by EU member states, euro-area aggregates, EFTA and enlargement countries against worldwide partners, decomposed to CN8 product and flow direction.

For a market-size-by-country table, combine those Comext values with CECIMO's country-level production aggregates and the association order books above. No dataset here ships a ready-made worldwide market-size table; the gap is structural, because trade flows plus production indices triangulate country cuts faster than any single vendor summary.

Histories range from a century to none: the G.17 reaches 1919, Eurostat Comext 1988, NBER-CES spans 1958–2018, AMT starts in 1998 and JMTBA in January 2009, while both marketplaces carry no history at all.

Formats are the weak spot: only 2 of these 12 datasets offer JSON, well under the catalog-wide share where 675 of 1,744 datasets (38.7 percent) ship it, and PDF appears in seven format lists. Plan parsing time accordingly, and treat the two static archives — NBER-CES and NASA's Prognostics Data Set Repository, whose 21 run-to-failure datasets span roughly 12 MB to 15.8 GB collected between 2008 and 2019 — as fixed citations rather than live feeds.
