Commerce Research Library: Company &amp; Industry Research: Need a report?

About Reports

Market and industry reports are available in a number of the subscription databases available to Department of Commerce staff with their OpenAthens account. If you are looking for a report that we don't have access to we recommend searching the resources below to find something comparable. If you need help in your search check out our guide for industry research or reach out to the library staff at research@doc.gov.

Best Bets for Reports

Statista
A solid resource for ready made industry reports that include charts and graphs. The industries covered and how granular they go can be hit or miss but it's worth checking because what they do cover often meets our users needs.
For personalized access, email the library at research@doc.gov.
Bloomberg Terminal
A great tool for industry reports and data as well as for research on companies. The BI (Bloomberg Intelligence) function provides key industry data, interactive charting, and written analysis by Bloomberg industry experts. Bloomberg also provides listings of companies within industry sectors and detailed financial information on individual companies. Access to Bloomberg is through a dedicated terminal so it is necessary to come to the library to use it.

Additional Resources for Reports

Fitch Solutions Country Industry Reports
Available on ProQuest ABI/Inform, these industry reports include a SWOT analysis on the industry, industry forecasts, a risk/rewards index, a listing of the key players in the industry, profiles of a few major companies in the industry, and an analysis of market demographics.
Nexis
Click on the “Market Insights” link at the top of the Nexis homepage to get started. This module of Nexis provides industry summaries, SWOT reports, and reports on the competitive landscape of many industries, including renewable energy.
EIU Viewpoint
EIU provides country level data on six key industries as well as subsectors of these industries. Data includes industry sales and market demographics. Global and country level industry reports are also available, but unlike Fitch Solutions and Statista, EIU does not have information about companies engaged in an industry.
EBSCOhost
Search Publications in EBSCO's Business Source Complete for industry reports and news. Reports include MarketLine, Barnes, BMI and more. Make sure to check the date of the report when using EBSCO.
OECD
OECD's online library includes data, eBooks, articles, working papers, reports, and statistics on several industries but, unlike Fitch Solutions, most reports are not released on a regular schedule and the information tends to be more dated.
UN iLibrary
Like the OECD library, UN has data and reports on several industries but with a greater focus on the developing world than the OECD.
