BUSM 1901: Entrepreneurship for Creative Industries I (Alves) Spring 2024

Industry Overviews and Trends

IBISWorld

IBISWorld is a database that's a great place to start with! Please know that it takes time since the information is embedded within different pages. You will have to read through pages such as Products & Markets (for product trends). Other helpful pages include the provincial data breakdown.

Associations

Google to find associations within the industry (ex. search "photography associations"). Association websites are a good source of industry trends.

Professional Magazines

Similar to association websites, professional magazines are also a good source of industry trends. Here is a list of a few, though there are many more out there!

Canadian Newspapers

Search Canadian newspapers for trends too. CBCA has a Canadian focus. ABI/INFORM is more challenging to search since it's a large American database but it can also be helpful.

When searching ABI/INFORM, limit your Source Type on the first page and add in your desired location to limit the results.
