Global market segmentation, industry analysis, competitive analysis, and half of corporate planning, can now all be done in seconds!
eCompetitors provides (line-of-business level) industry information 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 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 five forces industry information, and more. Our industry classification system which provides the framework for 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 classification of over 10,000 industries, we normalize all company information to enable 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.

*Many companies purchase what is called "industry information" only to discover that the information is really "industry sector information" which is at too high a level for making line-of-business decisions. Many companies also acquire information based on government-developed (poorly defined) industry classification codes such as SIC codes, NAICS codes, or ISIC codes. We understand your pain too. We have a much better solution. It's called the Global Industry Dashboard; and it provides the best global industry information available anywhere because it is developed at the line-of-business level, where true competition takes place.
