IBISWorld gathers information on U.S. industries at a 5-digit NAICS level, allowing you to drill down into various industry segments (think Supermarkets & Grocery Stores - 44511 versus Retail Trade 44-45). IBISWorld uses industry experts to research and analyze industries from supply chain to consumer behavior at national and state levels.
The search box on the IBISWorld homepage will search all the products within the database. However, selecting the Products drop-down menu can narrow your focus to specific industry information. For example:

Private Companies. Private company information is available in IBISWorld. Note that this is not a comprehensive list and will include only companies with a significant market share within an industry. The initial company report page may hold very basic information, but selecting the Learn More link within the Industry Market Share box will provide company-specific analysis associated with the industry.
