Having a hard time finding information about a niche or emerging industry? In the past year we’ve had business students ask our librarians to help them find information about everything from the elevator industry, to the smoothies industry, to the sleep clinics industry.

Now thanks to the recent addition of IBISWorld U.S. Specialized Industry Reports, we offer detailed reports about all three of these industries, in addition to many other niche and emerging industries. In fact, this database contains over 400 industry reports.  Moreover, at any given point in time, some 70-80% of the current report titles will have been published within the past 12 months.

The main industry sectors covered by IBISWorld U.S. Specialized Industry Reports are as follows: advisory and financial services, business franchises, consumer goods and services, industrial machinery, gas and chemicals, life sciences, online retail, retail markets, specialist engineering infrastructure and contractors, and technology.

Once again, enjoy! And remember, if you’ve got questions about using IBISWorld, ask us for help.
