Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Wool Production per Capita — Wool production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wool produced within a country divided by its population, providing a population-adjusted measure of wool production. The indicator is presented in Our World in Data as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of wool production per person across countries and years. The selected dataset covers the period from 2015 to 2024.
The data includes wool production and population figures used to calculate wool production per capita for individual countries. The indicator covers wool classified as an agricultural product and reflects domestic production relative to the population of each country. The dataset includes annual observations for the selected countries and period and can be used to compare population-adjusted wool output across different geographic regions.
The data excludes wool imports, exports, trade values, prices, revenues, and domestic consumption. It does not measure the value of wool production or distinguish between wool produced for different end uses. The indicator also does not directly measure sheep populations, wool yields per animal, processing activity, or downstream textile production. Differences in production per capita may reflect changes in wool output, population, or both.
About this indicator
Wool Production per Capita — Wool production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wool produced within a country divided by its population, providing a population-adjusted measure of wool production. The indicator is presented in Our World in Data as a country-level time series, allowing comparisons of wool production per person across countries and years. The selected dataset covers the period from 2015 to 2024.
The overall trend was downward, despite some fluctuations during the period.
Mexico recorded its highest wool production per capita in 2015 at 41.09 units per person. The indicator declined to 39.71 in 2016, 37.66 in 2017, and 36.36 in 2018. A more pronounced reduction occurred in 2019, when production per capita fell to 31.93 units. In 2020, the indicator remained relatively stable at 31.98 before increasing slightly to 32.30 in 2021. However, this improvement was temporary, with production per capita declining to 29.44 in 2022 and 29.27 in 2023.
In 2024, Mexico recorded a marginal increase to 29.28 units per person, indicating relative stability compared with the previous two years. Overall, wool production per capita declined by approximately 28.7% between 2015 and 2024. This represents a substantial reduction in population-adjusted wool production over the period.
The data highlight a long-term decline in Mexico’s wool production per capita, despite short-term movements in individual years. This indicator provides useful insight into agricultural production trends and allows Mexico to be compared with other wool-producing economies on a population-adjusted basis. It also helps distinguish changes in production from changes associated with population growth, supporting a clearer assessment of the country’s wool production performance.
