Sources for industry (sub-industry) growth info and other variables?

Would you share what sources you've used in the past to profile industry segments? 

I am researching sector profiles and going through a lot of different data sets but feels like I am wasting a lot of time. If you have access to a god analytical took or raw data source that does not cost thousands of pounds to access please share. 

Thank you in advance

Hi Alexandre - IBISWorld is the exact resource you're describing. It could literally pull 5-year forecasts along with any other growth metrics you're interested in for every industry (over 500+) in the UK within minutes. I'd be happy to put you in touch with one of my UK colleagues if you'd like. In regards to fees, they can work with you - but at the end of the day, quality information is going to have costs associated with it.
