FAQs
Will the data or content inside the reports change?
No, the data and content will not change for reports with updated titles, codes or collection changes.
Will these changes affect any other products?
Yes. Changes to an industry report will also impact the related State and Provincial Industry Reports, Risk Ratings Reports and US Segment Benchmarking Reports.
For example, the removal of Mail Order in the US (45411b) will also include the removal of all Mail Order in the US State Industry Reports.
Industry data tools such as the Industry Wizard and Early Warning System will also reflect these updates.
Will these changes affect IBISWorld’s API?
Yes. If your API calls use any of the affected report codes, you will need to update the code parameter for all affected endpoints. Starting October 30, 2025, calls made with the old report codes will either return a 204 No Content status or display outdated information. Updating the code parameters to include the new industry report codes will ensure uninterrupted access.
Example of an impacted code parameter:
{
"Country": "US",
"Code": "11111", ← update this field
"Language": "English"
}
