European Coverage

Our European industry research coverage falls into three categories of reports:

Learn what’s included in each collection below.

The Europe Collection covers Europe- and country-level reports for industries within the ISIC industry classification system. This collection allows you to drill down from Europe-level data to more granular data at the country level with interconnected reports.

The collection consists of the following reports:

The following eight chapters can be found across the collection, with information provided at varying levels of depth and detail:

Europe Spotlight Reports also include the following chapters:

Europe Spotlight Reports cover 30-40 pages of data, analysis, current events and key trends for 250+ European industries. These reports provide holistic coverage of the industry across Europe and highlight centres of influence within the industry. While facts and figures are primarily provided at the continent level, key performance data can be broken down further across each country using benchmarking tools and comprehensive data tables.

Use Europe Spotlight Reports to:

Country Factsheets contain 10-15 pages of critical industry data. They cover 37 countries, including France, Italy and Spain (formerly Spotlight Industry Reports). There are roughly 200 to 400 reports for most countries. These data-driven reports highlight the country’s position in the industry through rankings and benchmarking tools. Analysis is included in select chapters and may be more robust for some countries than others, depending on how much influence the country has on the wider European industry.

Use Country Factsheets to:

We offer Country Data Factsheets for the following countries in Europe:

Europe Factsheets are the same data-rich 10–15-page reports as Country Factsheets for 199 Europe Industries. Like the Europe Spotlight Reports, these Factsheets cover industry performance at the continent level, which can then be broken down further across each country using benchmarking tools and comprehensive data tables. While these reports may summarize or interpret key data points on market size and other performance and productivity metrics, they do not include detailed analysis of the trends or events driving performance.

Use Europe Factsheets to:

Our Core Industry Collections span the UK, Ireland and Germany, as well as the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The Industry Reports provided in these collections are our most in-depth reports and form the bedrock of our research products. Unlike the Europe Collection, which uses the international coding system (ISIC), our Core Industry Reports align with each country’s national industry classification system (E.g., UK SIC, WZ).

European coverage in the Core Industry Collection spans the following geographies:

The following chapters can be found across each Industry Report:

Industry Reports cover 40+ pages of comprehensive data and analysis. Industry Reports follow our legacy structure and are written by local analysts in the predominant local language. They cover well-established industries and markets within each country and include detailed analysis of related trends in nearly every chapter. These reports do not include a Country Benchmarks chapter that compares other countries or the continent.

Use Industry Reports to:

Specialised Industry Reports cover the same 40+ pages of comprehensive data and analysis as the Core Industry Collections for niche industries that fall outside of standard national industrial classification systems.

Like the Core Industry Reports, these reports are written by local analysts in the predominant local language. Similarly, they do not include Country Benchmarking features or any country-to-country comparisons. They are laser-focused on the national industry only.

Use Specialised Industry Reports to:

The UK Specialised Industry Report collection covers 200+ niche and emerging industries in the UK. The collection focuses on industries that have gained prominence since UK SIC was developed in 2007 and do not have dedicated UK SIC codes. Industries in this collection are often more granular segments of UK SIC industries that are gaining relevance. Some reports in this collection are On-Demand, meaning they will be written upon request and delivered within five business days.
