Industry Guides are being retired

We're retiring our Industry Guides series on 7th September 2026 to make way for our growing collection of Industry Profiles.

Industry Profiles are free, in-depth briefings on global and UK business sectors written, researched and fact-checked by ICAEW librarians. Rather than just linking out to sources, each profile brings together and summarises analysis on markets, trends, challenges and opportunities all in one place.

If you need information from this page, we recommend saving it before 7th September 2026.

Can't find what you're looking for?

The ICAEW Library can give you the right information from trustworthy, professional sources that aren't freely available online. Contact us for expert help with your enquiries and research.

The Business & Industry Guides series, produced by the Library & Information Service exclusively for ICAEW members and ACA students, provides useful information on a variety of business and industry sectors, including links to market research reports, statistics, information on import and export, trade bodies and trade journals.

See the A–Z for a full listing of guides across all business and industry sectors.
