Industry Overviews and Reports


This guide lists resources that provide brief to in-depth text overviews, analysis or reports on particular industries. They are good starting points for learning about an industry (i.e. statistics, challenges, trends, outlook/projections, key players that drive that industry, how to analyze a company in that industry).

Because resources differ in their industry categories and information, you may want to consult more than one.  Search the JHU Catalog for additional industry resources owned by the university's libraries.
