Interior Design: Market research

Market research, from reputable sources, is usually not freely available. We subscribe to several sources of commercial market intelligence, which can help you to understand markets and industries.

• Use the reference builder for reports.
• You need to reference the author, year, report title, and URL. e.g. Mintel. (2023). Sustainability in food – UK – 2023. https://www.mintel.com 
• The author is often the name of the resource, e.g. FAME, Mintel.  The author of Passport (if no named author) is EuroMonitor. The author of Business Source Complete reports varies - company and industry profiles are often by MarketLine.
• The year can usually be found near the title of the report. Check this is up-to-date enough for your needs before using. For statistical data taken from FAME/Orbis VL/Passport, use the current year.

Selected help guides are linked below. All the database homepages also have their own help pages which have the most up-to-date user guides and videos - we recommend you make use of these.
