Industry

Coverage

BMI's Industry service provides unparalleled analysis of global industries and research on leading companies worldwide. Our analysts constantly revise and update almost 1,100 country reports, providing key industry forecasts and competitive analysis on all major developed, emerging and frontier markets. Furthermore, our leading daily alert services critically assess all major industry and company developments as they happen.

Methodology

The service covers all key global developments influencing company strategy, including country, regional and global supply and demand dynamics. At its heart are BMI's proprietary 5- and 10-year country forecasts. Given the close connections between industries, and the broader macroeconomic and demographic picture, our analysis and forecasts are closely integrated with BMI's Country Risk service.

A second unique component of the data service is our country-comparative risk-reward Business Environment Rating. This tool facilitates the critical evaluation of opportunities and operational risks in established, emerging and frontier markets, enabling clients to identify and evaluate global industry investment opportunities.

Our analysis is completed by our comprehensive portfolio of company profiles that detail the activity and latest financials of all major companies.

Expertise

BMI's expertise lies in the dynamic combination of industry and country risk. Our proprietary forecasting models use multi-linear regression analysis of both industry-specific and macroeconomic variables on a state-by-state basis to produce a unique 'bottom-up' model of country, regional and global industry prospects. Furthermore, our risk assessment draws directly on our team of expert country business analysts to ensure that our industry-specific conclusions cohere with our broader country view. Combined with our detailed analysis of company activity and industry trends, the result is a uniquely rich evaluation of the opportunities and risks facing companies globally – total analysis.
