Industry vs. Market
Industries tend to be broad, while markets can be as specific as a type of product or a brand. Expand your search to the broader industry category if information is limited on your specific market. Emerging or niche industries also may not have a full profile/report.
Industry classification systems are created to promote data comparability. SIC and NAICS (both created by the US government) are the most widely used.
