I would like to get a feel for the total volume of electronics manufactured 
worldwide in terms of area or weight, as opposed to value.

I have found (via a web search) figures of 35-42billion USD for the total 
bare PCB market in 2000 and a total value for the electronic equipment 
market of 1200billion USD, but can find nothing on what this represents in 
physical terms.

Can anyone help?
