USMA did publish a Metric Vendors list a few years back, perhaps the webmaster knows is there is an electronic version now.
My understanding is that about 30 percent of US industry is metric in the USA, so what that would be in billions of dollars, I don't know. It is just a lot more than people think because the stupid corporate executives are convinced the people will not buy their products unless they are labeled with an inch-pound size.
