We have three templates for industry reports with varying levels of content:

Standard Industry Reports have the full level of content within each chapter. Spotlight Industry Reports have a similar amount of content with more of a focus on data than analysis. Industry Factsheets are more data-forward and less analysis-driven than Spotlight Industry Reports.

For information on our report collections and which report types are included in them, read Industry Report Collections.

Standard Industry Reports are our most robust report template. They contain all sections within each chapter and the highest level of analysis. Each report covers detailed industry analysis, trends and dynamics. Our in-house analysts leverage economic, demographic and market data, then add analytical and forward-looking insight to help you unpack the numbers.

Spotlight Industry Reports cover almost as many sections as Standard Industry Reports and may contain more data than analysis. The most important chapters, such as Performance and Products and Markets, include a similar level of analysis to Standard Industry Reports, while other chapters lean more on the data. Some Spotlight Industry Reports have additional information; for example, Europe Spotlight Reports includes Country Benchmarking and Companies chapters, while US and Australia Spotlight Industry Reports do not.

Industry Factsheets cover almost all the same sections as Spotlight Industry Reports, emphasizing data over analysis. Like Spotlight Industry Reports, Industry Factsheets cover the most critical data in Standard Industry Reports, such as industry performance trends, product and service breakdowns, industry structure, and key statistics and ratios.
