I think it should have been pointed out that these figures are for the United States, or is the world buying from USA now...

I agree, but the information supplied did not really state what geographical area the figures applied to.
On another note, here in Oslo, Norway the import taxes are somewhat restrictive, for example I bought a Raspberry pi recently and had to pay almost double what the pi was worth in taxes...

$3 billion sounds very little for the whole world.
I hope the author isn't posting for the US only. As a reader from one of the other 199 countries, I'd be disappointed.

They always do, have statistics about the US and present it as if they are the only place in the world.

We don't mind reading about the US, after all it is a .com website, but take a second to add 'US' somewhere in the article.
