Is it true that asteroid fragments reach the Earth's surface as meteorites every year?

Unclear. Three sources partially support the claim: one notes a small fraction of meteoroids survive to reach the ground as meteorites, another says asteroid fragments fall to the ground, and a Skeptics.SE answer estimates roughly 100 meteorites heavier than 10 grams fall per million square kilometers per year. None states the general yearly occurrence of meteorite arrivals at the strength the claim asserts.
