The Drexel University Libraries has a new subscription to the database: IBISWorld Industry Market Research Reports.

Use these reports when you want a current in-depth overview of a particular industry. I especially like these reports for their specificity. Want an industry report on Luggage and Leathergoods Stores or on Flour Milling and Malt Manufacturing? Look no further!

The reports cover over 700 US industries (at the 5-digit NAICS level) and provide key statistics (including some industry ratios), market characteristics (including market share), segmentation, industry conditions, and industry outlook. You can search by NAICS code or by keyword. It’s very easy to browse report titles as well.

Reports are about 25-40 pages in length and are updated every 4 months.
