For global numbers? Who knows? Different countries will collect data in various ways. I'd suspect that since most of this stuff is from 1st world countries, the numbers are there somewhere and available if you know who to ask and where to look.
In the US? Everybusiness falls into certain categories and numbers are taken from tax data and compiled.
It takes a real 'pro' to wade thru the data to find just what you want, but it CAN be done.
I'd start with the link I provided and start wading thru that morass..
Too much is never enough
