Business Bootcamp: How can I find data about markets and products?

A guide to business sources as students look for careers and internships.

Other Marketing data and numbers resources

Market resources tell you how an industry - company or market segment is performing. Information on some markets are harder to find than others. Information on computer technology is pretty difficult but furniture, clothing and shoes are pretty easy. Proprietary company data can be difficult to locate. So do not get frustrated and try these sources!  

We already looked at a source that provided industry data. Business Insight has an entire section of Industry reports. While you are looking at a company record simply click on the link found under Industries 

The next page shows the industry report and you can read and reference that report as a part of your research. Use can also use the search link and search for an industry and then find and read the report. 

Here is what this looks like.

Statista

Statista is a great resource to use. It gathers market and marketing data from the web into this visual search interface. The data is pulled from the marketing resources. Locate the search box and simply add a topic. It works well with company information and international content. 

Try a search for an industry - a company - a topic of interest - a product - a service.
