Focus on: German and European Market Statistics: FAKT on DataStar

Business users of online information are constantly on the look out for statistical information to support anecdotal evidence. There are a number of sources for this type of information including TableBase™ (File 93/BTBL) and the wide collection of market research files available through Dialog services.

A less well-known file that may have slipped your notice is the German and European Market Statistics (FAKT) on DataStar.

Here are the titles of some documents that have appeared recently in FAKT:

  • Europe: Top 10 Logistics and Forwarding Companies 2000
  • Europe: Top 10 Energy Supply Companies 2000
  • International: Management Consulting Services 1998-2003
  • International: Air Pollution Caused by Carbon Dioxide 1997, 2020
  • Germany: Market for Pastry Goods in Bavaria 2001
  • Germany: Market for Alcoholic Beverages 2000-2001
  • International: Top Seven Aircraft Engine Manufacturers 2000

This file presents data in German but, as an aid to retrieval, also has titles and descriptive keywords in English. Using these can produce highly-targeted search results and give you access to data that you may miss in your favorite online files.

You can search in English or German:
