Industry Information seeks to answer questions about groups of organizations that share functional similarities. It may answer questions like:
How do certain companies compare to others? What types of companies sell products to this industry? Regardless of any one company's success, how has this product or service grown in popularity over time?
In North America, statistical agencies such as the IRS, SEC, and OMB, use the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) to classify businesses in particular industries to collect, analyze, and publish statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. Every business must fit into at least one NAICS industry, so if you can find a company's NAICS, you can find its competitors. Similarly, finding a NAICS that describes a product or service you're interested in will allow you to find companies' names or other information about the industry you'd like to work in.
Find your Industry's NAICS codes and classification and use it in your research.
