Find Drug Sales Data in Fulltext Market Research Reports?
TOPIC: Often companies need to locate data on sales of specific brand-name drugs. Dialog contains a wealth of sources for finding sales information on pharmaceutical products. These sources include business trade literature, company reports, country reports, analysts’ reports, and market research reports. Many of these sources contain tabular data.
Fulltext market research reports, with in-depth, expert analysis, include Business Insights (File 759), Datamonitor Market Research (File 761) and BCC Market Research (File 764), in the Market Research Reports OneSearch category, MARKETFU. In addition, key trade literature databases, with excellent indexing and special features, include TableBase (File 93), Business & Industry (File 9) and Gale Group PROMT® (File 16).
