What is measured: the MCS statistics row "Bauxite, mine production" — mine production in tonnes, what left mines in each calendar year. Not reserves in the ground, and not refined or smelted output. 2025 is the USGS estimate; 2024 is the reported figure.

World total: 440 Mt (2025 est.) · 428 Mt (2024).
Shares are computed against the published world total itself, never against the sum of listed producers.

Rest of world is the published world total minus the producers listed: the MCS "Other countries" aggregate, withheld figures, and production this atlas does not file under a separate entity. It is real, published tonnage not attributable to a single nation here.

United States: its figure is withheld by the USGS ("W") to avoid disclosing company proprietary data. A withheld figure is an absence in this table, never a zero; where the USGS folds withheld production into its world total, that tonnage sits inside Rest of world.
