Trade or industry associations can be excellent sources for specific industry/market data and consumer research. Use Google to find associations serving the industry of interest.
Industry information on government websites is often organized by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which assigns six-digit numerical codes to industries. The first two digits designate the sector, the third digit designates the subsector, the fourth digit designates the industry group and the fifth digit designates the industry. The sixth digit is used to designate national industries.
Be sure to read the full description of the NAICS code, as it may include a broader array of products/services than you might assume.
