Revised historical data from the Manufacturers’ Shipments, Inventories, and Orders (M3) Survey will be issued on May 14, 2021 to reflect the results of the 2019 and 2018 Annual Survey of Manufacturers (ASM) estimates and the revised ASM data from 2013 through 2016 resulting from benchmarking the ASM to the 2017 Economic Census. Revisions to the Wholesale estimates will be reflected in the February 2021 Manufacturing and Trade Inventories and Sales (MTIS) release scheduled for April 15, 2021.
