Atlas is IBISWorld's cross-industry, cross-country data querying tool designed for teams working at scale. It brings together thousands of industries across dozens of markets into a single, unified view, powered by the same IBISWorld taxonomy in every country.

Watch the video below to see Atlas in action and understand its full power.

Three ways Atlas creates value

Speed. Market sizing, competitive benchmarking, cost structures—work that used to take a week is done in a single afternoon. Atlas eliminates the back-and-forth between sources and lets your team focus on the analysis that matters.

Credibility. One source, one citation, one methodology. For teams submitting work to clients or regulators, methodological consistency isn't a convenience, it's the standard. Atlas makes every comparison defensible.

Scale. Not 50 industries, one at a time, but all of them at once. Ranked, comparable, and exportable. Whether you're running a global portfolio review or screening across an entire lending book, Atlas runs them all in a single session.

Built for the teams conducting multi-layered analysis

Some workflows demand more than a standard research tool can offer.

  • For teams working on transfer pricing, global portfolio reviews, or cross-border screening, the challenge isn't finding data. It's getting it to line up. Atlas presents every market with the same methodology throughout, so you can move from data to insight without the reconciliation work.
  • For credit and insurance teams reviewing large books sector by sector, traditional approaches are too slow to act on before conditions change. Atlas runs the full picture at once.
  • For teams tracking a single industry across many markets—screening for deal viability, mapping supply chains, or planning market entry—national sources give you national definitions, and the comparison breaks before it begins. Atlas applies one definition across every market, so the analysis holds up when it matters.

Screenshot of the IBISWorld Industry Data Atlas platform. On the left, a "Create New Data Table" panel shows a form with one location selected (United States) and eight industries selected: Health and Medical Insurance, Hospitals, Commercial Banking, Life Insurance, Cosmetic and Toiletry Wholesaling, New Car Dealers, Supermarkets and Grocery Stores, and Oil Drilling and Gas Extraction. A red "View Results" button appears at the bottom. On the right, a results table lists the same eight industries with columns for Industry, Region (all United States, shown with a US flag icon), Employment, and Enterprises. Data values in the Employment and Enterprises columns are blurred. The interface is displayed against a dark red-to-black gradient background.

Industry data meets company intelligence

Understanding how a market behaves is only half the picture. Atlas layers company intelligence directly onto the industry framework, over half a million global profiles covering market share, employment, and geographic footprint, all accessible in the same session without a separate pull.

When industry benchmarks and company data share the same definitions, you stop reconciling and start analyzing.

Now covering Asia-Pacific

Atlas's consistency now extends across Asia-Pacific, including Japan, South Korea, China, and India. Same taxonomy, same citation—no regional gaps, no separate sources.
