Market Needs
The sixth edition of the Encyclopedia of Global Industries (EGI) continues to serve as a key source for inquiries
into industry sectors on a global scale. EGI offers unparalleled international breadth and industry depth, with
current content that is accessible and useful to a variety of users.
Each entry lays out an overview of current trends, background on past developments, and profiles of leading
companies and countries. Significant data and trends are illustrated in tables and charts, and a list of
references for further research is supplied for every topic. A critical feature for researchers, the encyclopedia
identifies industry topics with corresponding categories from the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS), originally published in 1997 and most recently updated in 2017. Industry profiles reflect and address
the most current updates to this system. The NAICS system is widely used by business and economic
researchers to provide a common statistical and conceptual language for the study of industry.
