Overview
Success in today’s industrial landscape hinges on seeing beyond your immediate market.
Combining world-class global industry analysis, industry forecasts, and scenario modelling, our service helps you understand how long-term megatrends such as AI and climate change, as well as shorter-term shocks like tariffs or energy price changes, could influence your industry, your upstream suppliers, and downstream customers.
What’s included?
Powered by our proprietary models, the Global Industry Service provides industry analysis for over 100 sectors across 77 economies. By combining industry forecasts, data, and reports, we deliver a holistic view of sector prospects across the value chain, geographies, and timeframes.
Industry forecasts
- Global Industry Databank: Historical industry data from 1980 and monthly forecasts updates to 2060 for over 100 sectors across 77 countries and the eurozone, spanning across five key categories: output, investment, sales, profits, energy demand, and emissions.
- Global Industry Dashboard: Compare growth prospects across countries and sectors, uncover key upstream and downstream relationships, and see how industries and markets are impacted under different scenarios.
Our forecasts draw on macroeconomic and industrial models that capture value-chain linkages, offering insight not just into your own industry, but into the suppliers and customers that shape your costs and demand.

Why Oxford Economics
Our Global Industry Service stands apart through its unique integration of macroeconomic and industrial modelling. This infrastructure allows us not only to track your sector, but to understand the value chains that shape it.
Proven reliability
Our industry forecasts are powered by our Global Economic Model and Global Industry Model, recognised by global institutions such as the World Bank for their accuracy and robustness. By linking macroeconomic trends with supply chain relationships, we deliver foresights anchored in real-world interdependencies, rather than isolated sector views.
Comprehensive and consistent data
We harmonise data across countries and sectors with consistent definitions and methodologies, enabling quick, like-for-like comparisons in just a few clicks.
Long-term and short-term visibility
With forecasts extending to 2060, our service supports both short-term planning and long-term strategic thinking. We capture the effects of structural trends such as decarbonisation and AI, as well as shorter-term developments such as oil price shocks that shape industrial activity.
Rigorous risk evaluation
Our scenario modelling quantifies the potential impact of key risks on sectors and supply chains. This structured, model-based approach goes beyond qualitative commentary, providing evidence you can rely on when planning for uncertainty.
