The blog post I originally linked to lists the data and the source (U.N. Industrial Development Org.), but there is US government data that's similar, and that I've linked to in other posts, it doesn't give data for other countries but its useful for comparisons to America's production in the past (industrial production has about tripled in real terms in my life time) Is that in units or dollars? Real dollars. How would units be useful when different items are being produced? Tonnage wouldn't be important in economic terms, but at least would be easier to compare. Nominal dollars would be useless because of inflation. Real dollars is the only useful criteria for this type of measurement IMO. I don't know what the UN's definition of manufacturing is.
