IBIS World – Comprehensive industry-market research database

Are you looking for UK data about a particular industry? 

We subscribe to a comprehensive resource called IBIS World.  There are nearly 13,000 industry reports online, which are all easily searchable. 

Each industry has its own report which is broken down into the following chapters; 

  • At a glance 
  • Performance 
  • Products and Markets 
  • Geographic Breakdown 
  • Competitive Forces 
  • Companies 
  • External Environment 
  • Financial Benchmarks 

Whether you’re looking for the average wage for that industry or trying to find out the key markets.  The information is presented in manageable sections and with clear downloadable graphics. 

Example of a chart from IBIS World

There’s a useful ‘At a glance’ summary for each UK industry, providing a snapshot of the revenue, a SWOT analysis and a detailed Executive Summary. 

IBIS World is available on and off campus 24/7 and the reports can be downloaded in full or by chapter.  Don’t forget, if  you use the IBIS world data in your assignments, to acknowledge this.  Further help is available in our Referencing and Plagiarism Guide: https://libguides.aber.ac.uk/c.php?g=676952&p=5122582
