IBISWorld: Focused industry reports from Art Dealers to Weather Forecasting Services

For those who have never tried our IBISWorld database, I thought I'd provide a brief list of some of its newest reports:

• Sporting Goods Wholesaling in the US
• Heavy Infrastructure Construction in the US
  
• Vending Machine Operators in the US
• Lumber & Building Material Stores in the US
• Mining, Oil & Gas Machinery Manufacturing in the US
• Bars & Nightclubs in the US
  
• Road & Highway Construction in the US
• Background Check Services
• Database, Storage & Backup Software Publishing in the US
• Inland Water Transportation in the US

These are just a small sample from the more than 1400 reports in the database.  As you can probably tell from the titles, the coverage is strongly US (down to very narrowly defined industries), but they also provide us with about 200 China reports and 75 Global reports.

Although the lack of Canadian content is a pity, the extremely focused nature of the reports and the fact that they cover our nearest neighbour and (still) biggest trading partner make these reports useful for a wide range of marketing, strategy, entrepreneurship and other business assignments.

For more on IBISWorld, see our initial post from when we got this valuable database in August of last year.
