Global Industry Model

Industry scenario modelling for stress testing, scenario planning, and climate analysis.

Overview

Industries and supply chains are increasingly exposed to macroeconomic shocks, policy interventions, and structural change, such as the energy transition and AI adoption. Quantifying how these forces propagate through industries is essential for stress testing, strategic planning, and portfolio analysis. 

The Global Industry Model translates macroeconomic and climate scenarios into detailed industry-level outcomes, enabling you to assess how different changes affect sector performance across countries within a consistent, transparent framework.

Key features

  • Comprehensive coverage​. Our forecasts span over 100 sectors across 77 countries, covering key indicators such as sector GDP, sales, operating expenditure, capital expenditure, and profits. This breadth of coverage enables reliable and comparable analysis of sector performance and prospects across different regions and markets.
  • Energy demand and carbon emissions​. Track energy use by fuel type and CO₂ emissions across 49 countries and over 25 sectors, supporting regulatory climate stress testing and reporting. This allows you to assess the implications of alternative energy transition pathways and evaluate how decarbonisation pressures could affect costs, supply chains, and industry output.
  • Intuitive industry modelling software. Compare scenario results and export outputs through an interactive interface. Visualise results through charts, heat maps, and/or dashboards.
  • Flexible delivery. Access the model through a secure online platform or desktop program file. Results can be exported via Excel plug-in or APIs to integrate with your existing workflows, supporting automated modelling and data analysis.
  • Expert support. In-house training from our industry economists helps users understand the model structure and how to apply it effectively.

Our methodology

Our Global Industry Model is a top-down industry model that translates macroeconomic conditions into industry-level outcomes through a transparent, economically grounded framework.

Demand mapping

Industry forecasts are anchored in both macroeconomic and downstream demand, highlighting each sector’s unique role in the global supply chain. Trade relationships between regions are explicitly modelled, ensuring sector outcomes respond coherently to changes in growth, trade, and policy, and reflect the interconnected nature of the global economy.

Cost structure and substitution

The model incorporates industry cost structures through a cost substitution mechanism that captures changes in the industry cost basket relative to total economy costs.

Competitiveness

Changes in input costs relative to trade partners feed through to competitiveness, influencing an industry’s market share relative to its competitors.

Together, these mechanisms inform forecasts of industry output and gross value added (GVA), ensuring consistent results across countries and sectors.

Benefits

The Global Industry Model is fully integrated with Oxford Economics’ Global Economic Model, ensuring that industry forecasts remain consistent with underlying economic and climate assumptions.

  • Ensure regulatory compliance. Assess transition and physical risks across portfolios and conduct stress tests and climate scenario reporting in line with the requirements of regulatory bodies, such as the ECB and Bank of England.  
  • Gain robust portfolio insights. Evaluate revenues and sector performance under multiple scenarios in a structured way to inform investment and portfolio decisions.
  • Mitigate risks proactively. Run bespoke ‘what if’ scenarios and quantify how different macroeconomic, policy, or structural changes could affect your sector, enabling proactive strategic planning and risk management.
  • Capture the latest economic and sector developments. Ensure all scenarios and forecasts reflect current conditions by integrating the latest production data, macro trends, and corporate and regulatory updates, capturing how shocks and policy changes reverberate across sectors and countries.
  • Work efficiently with intuitive tools. Use our easy-to-navigate software to build scenarios, export data, and visualise results as charts, heat maps, and/or dashboards. Designed to make complex analysis simple, our model delivers fast, actionable insights.
