Approach

The goal of Statista’s market model is to estimate the development of industries in different countries across the world. To facilitate our clients’ usage of the forecasts, Statista applies a standardized model for all countries and industries. Our focus is on the revenue trends for different industries up to 2020. Forecast modeling is conducted annually, based on the latest data. Each market prognosis will be made immediately available upon completion on Statista.com.

Industries

Up to 400 industries from each country are comprehensively analyzed by our experts. The industrial classification is based on renowned classification systems, e.g. the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), the UK Standard Industrial Classification (UK SIC), and the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE Rev. 2). The prognoses are conducted by applying the classification codes with up to six levels of sub-divisions, depending on the corresponding data situation.

 
Modeling:

The historical data for every industry was gathered from the national statistical offices of every country.
The future trends of national industries are based in part on economic trends in each country and in part on industry-specific trends. The Statista model for each country’s development is derived from data provided by the World Economic Outlook Database (WEO) of the International Monetary Fund, the prognoses of the OECD and the European Commission’s Business Confidence Surveys.

The development of industries is based on historical developments within each industry as well as major drivers in the respective country. Statista has identified crucial market drivers, which allows for reliable updating of the market data and for the modeling of future industry trends. Depending on historical data and the individual drivers, we developed regression models and updated trends accordingly. Each statistical series has been checked for plausibility and approved by experts.
