πŸ” How To: Convert ANZSIC ➜ IBISWorld Report

🎯 Goal#

Given an official ANZSIC code (e.g., 4511), find the matching IBISWorld report code (e.g., H4511b) and then retrieve the report.
ANZSIC refers to the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC).
IBISWorld provides mappings to widely used industry classification systems around the world, including:
NAICS – North American Industry Classification System
UK SIC – UK Standard Industrial Classification
NACE – Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community
WZ – German Classification of Economic Activities (Wirtschaftszweige)

🧭 Overview#

1.
Map ANZSIC ➜ IBISWorld using the Concordance endpoint.
2.
Choose the right match (if multiple).
3.
Fetch the report using the IBISWorld code.
πŸ’‘ Tip: A single ANZSIC code may return multiple IBISWorld reports (Core, Specialized, Spotlight). You can filter by ReportCollection, Country, or Title depending on your use case.
