Alternative to IBIS for industry trends?

Does anyone know of any alternatives to IBIS? 

IBIS is great but the industry I am looking at hasn't been updated since 2020 and I have run into this problem a few times.

Normally, I wouldn't be overly concerned but the last few years have been particularly volatile. Thanks!

I agree with Jeff - I've found that primary is the best form of research. Secondary is great initial reading, but I often find that things like growth rates are not reliable.

MIntel is good , it can be pricey, perhaps through your university library? (even as an alumni?)
