The Library will no longer continue to license IBISWorld as of July 1, 2025.
Due to the licensing cycle of this resource and its high cost, we must make this decision now even though the final amount of the cut to collections is not yet finalized. We will be communicating additional resource cancellations this fall that will come into effect January 1, 2026.
Though IBISWorld provides industry profiles for over 12,000 US industries, and additional reports on industries in Canada and Europe, it also offers overviews and analyses of state and regional economies.
Librarians can assist you in locating industry data and reports in other subscription databases such as Nexis Uni and Business Source Complete (EBSCO). Availability of information may vary in our other subscriptions. Please contact Olivia Olivares directly at oolivaries@ucmerced.edu or email library@ucmerced.edu with questions. Research consultation appointments can also be scheduled with a librarian.
Should collections funding be restored and expanded, the Library will be happy to reacquire IBISWorld at a later date. Until budget conditions change, however, we cannot afford to offer access to this resource.
