How current is the data in a sector report?
We use the most recent full-year data available at the time of fieldwork and note the reference period for every figure; reports are not republished without a defined refresh scope.

Sector Reports
In-depth studies of industry structure, drivers and outlook, built for planning and investment decisions.
Overview
Sector reports set out how an industry is structured, what is driving change and how it is likely to evolve, combining desk synthesis of the available evidence with structured interviews across the value chain. Each report documents its sources and assumptions, distinguishes established fact from informed projection, and is reviewed by an external adviser before publication.
Methods

The methods below are documented in every sector reports engagement, so the findings can be checked and reproduced.

Common questions
Frequently asked.
Can a report focus on a single country or region within a global sector?
Yes. Scope is agreed at the outset and can range from a single national market to a multi-country comparative study.
Do you take a position on how the sector should be regulated?
No. Sector reports describe structure, drivers and plausible outlook scenarios; policy implications are presented as evidence for the reader to weigh, not as institute recommendations.
