That works out to a demand for somewhere in the neighborhood of 100-200 Alto Clarinets bought by schools each year nationwide in the US. With the stigma often attached to Alto Clarinets, as well as their inconsistent repertoire usage, maybe 50% (or more) won't include one on their purchase list some of the others will buy two or more, due either to size of program or a school policy around students not transporting 'large' instruments every day.

Growing up, it was rare for a Bass Clarinetist to own their own instrument before maybe Junior or Senior year of high school, and Alto Clarinets were universally school-owned.Р”Р„s an estimate for institutional purchasing, I found this numerical tabulation of schools in the United States: Р”В®very year the number of Secondary (Middle & High) Schools fluctuates by a few hundred there's always both openings and closings, not all schools run a fully-instrumented band program, and if a district has a school close at the same time a new one opens they might just move individual materials like musical instruments from the closing one to the new one, so for the sake of argument I'll say that there's probably a representative 200-300 Secondary schools most years that are having to buy all the instruments to start up a band. I know probably ~10 adult players (amateur / semi-pro) who own their own Bass Clarinet, but only 2 who own their own Alto - and one of those essentially got her Alto by accident. There's (relatively) very few people who own personal Alto Clarinets, with many adults piggybacking off institutional instruments in one way or another.
