Detailed U.S. Industry research reports including industry performance, outlook, major companies, supply chain, demand drivers, cost structure, barriers to entry, and key statistics
Below is what a report looks like and every tab on the side links to lots of information. Business ratios are under key statistics (at the bottom).
We have access to many industry profiles, but each publisher has their own division of businesses into industries and not all industries have profiles in all the profile collections. It is worthwhile to check them all even if you find information on your industry in one of them. Different publishers, different information!
NAICS and SIC codes help classify and measure industry activity.
Knowing the code for your industry will help you find reports, articles, and other information on that industry.
Even though the codes are standardized, different resources will assign codes differently. Additionally, many companies can have multiple codes because of their various business segments. Be flexible and cautious when using codes to search, and always check multiple sources.
Note: Sometimes there isn't a perfect or obvious code. If you have questions, please contact a librarian.
Use this site to search for NAICS codes.
Note: It can be tricky to find the right wording. Try variants- cell phone vs. mobile phone vs. wireless communications, etc.
Use this U.S. Department of Labor site to search for an industry code by keyword, or look up an SIC code.
