Industry Wizard update: better targeting for the US & Canada
Data analysis is often the first step of strategic decision making, informing the future execution of your next investment, lending agreement or partnership. For fans of IBISWorld’s data, the Industry Wizard has been the go-to spot for robust data analysis.
This quarter, we’ve made this premier tool even more powerful, with financial ratios and state and provincial data now available in the Industry Wizard.
Our members have long enjoyed access to the comprehensive national data within our Wizard tools, combined with the Wizard’s powerful filtering capabilities that rank and target the most relevant industries. Now, members with State and Provincial report access can go one step further, narrowing down their search using geographic filtering.
This enhancement breaks down data silos further, adding more localized data into the mix.
New capabilities include:
- Generating industry lists for the fastest-growing industries in your state or province.
- Learning where revenue, employment and businesses are most concentrated in select industries.
- Understanding the outlook for certain industries on a state-by-state basis.
This release also adds 11 financial ratios from our US Industry Reports and 6 from our Canada Industry Reports. Popular liquidity, leverage and coverage ratios are included in the update.
Access this data in the Industry Wizard for:
- Analyzing financial health across your entire portfolio or book of business.
- Identifying creditworthy and non-creditworthy industries.
- Tailoring industry lists to reveal only the most financially resilient opportunities.
