Business statistics, market data
and industry research
verified at the source

Business Stats is an online business statistics portal that publishes charts, market data and short explanatory articles across major industries and countries, from Technology and E-Commerce to Energy, Finance, Retail, Media and Travel.

The goal is simple: give professionals, students and journalists a quick, sourced answer to "what does the data say?" without having to dig through dozens of reports.

Content is produced by a small editorial and research team. Each chart is researched by an analyst and reviewed by an editor before it is published. You can see the team members and their roles in the editorial team section on this page and on our About us page.

We rely on publicly available primary sources: national statistical offices, central banks, international organisations such as the OECD, World Bank, IMF and UN, industry associations, regulators and company annual reports and filings. Where we use a secondary source, such as a published market research report, we say so.

The source and its publication date are shown on every chart so you can trace any figure back to where it came from.

Coverage spans Technology & Telecommunications, E-Commerce, Finance & Insurance, Economy & Politics, Health Pharma & Medtech, Consumer Goods & FMCG, Media, Internet, Energy & Environment, Retail & Trade, Transportation & Logistics, Travel Tourism & Hospitality, Sports & Recreation, Chemicals & Resources, Society, Real Estate and Advertising & Marketing.

You can browse every category on this page or use the search bar to find a specific topic, company or country.

It depends on the series. Fast-moving indicators such as crude oil prices are refreshed regularly, while annual datasets are updated when the original source publishes new figures. New charts are added to the Daily Data section as they are published, and each chart shows the date of its most recent update.

Yes. All charts, statistics and articles on the site can be read free of charge, and no account is required to browse.

You are welcome to reference our statistics in reports, presentations, articles and academic work, as long as you credit Business Stats along with the original data source shown on the chart. For reuse of full charts or datasets in commercial products, please contact us first.

Tell us. If a figure looks wrong or out of date, send us the chart link and we will check it against the source and correct it if needed.

Use the contact page for questions, corrections, data requests or partnership enquiries. We aim to reply as quickly as possible.
