The Global Industry Dashboard [TM]  

eCompetitors provides industry analyses on the Top 10,000 industries, covering more than 95% of the $57 trillion global economy - all presented in the Global Industry Dashboard, an online model and holistic framework of the global economy which enables quick analysis of one industry or a group of industries.

We use a common approach for analyzing each industry; and we leverage the ideas of Michael E. Porter to provide the most strategically relevant industry information. Our proprietary industry taxonomy, which is used by our Global Industry Dashboard, is viewed by many CEOs and line-of-business executives as the de facto global industry classification standard.*

eCompetitors is also unique in our ability to analyze companies at the line-of-business level, where true competition takes place. By leveraging our global taxonomy of over 10,000 industries, we normalize all company information enabling side-by-side, line-of-business analysis of multiple companies.

For example, based on our analyses, we believe:
 - The average Global 1000 company competes in 52 lines of business
 - IBM competes in more lines of business than any other company: 626
 - HP, post their acquisition of EDS, competes in 332 lines of business
 - Our Match-Up report shows IBM & HP compete head-to-head in 177 lines of business.

*If your company buys or develops "industry information" at the industry sector level, or if your company is constrained by U.S. government-developed SIC codes or NAICS industry classification codes or the UN-based ISIC codes, we understand your pain - and we have a much better solution, the Global Industry Dashboard.
