How a bubble is drawnReported, coloured by stage:
In serviceUnder constructionPlannedStage not specified
Dashed edge: sized from a derived figure, not a reported oneSmall dot: city located and counted31 cities shown

Bubbles are placed at the city centroid, not at a facility address: the catalogue releases location at city granularity. Bubbles with a solid edge are sized from reported capacity; those with a dashed edge from a figure derived off the facility’s own reported dimensions. A derived figure sizes a bubble and nothing else — it enters no total, ranking, or statistic anywhere on this site. Planned capacity is not operating capacity. The map plots 8,944 facilities across 3,987 cities; a campus is plotted once, at the campus.

By development stage

By facility count: 50 in service, 1 under construction, 5 planned. 25 of the 56 report a capacity figure. Country capacity totals are published for the ten largest markets by capacity in service.
