Industry Research FAQ
How we organize our sector practices, recruit industry specialists, and deliver research that holds up under scrutiny.
Talk to a sector leadEvery industry has its own regulatory frameworks, buyer dynamics, and competitive logic. A generalist moderator running a focus group with hospital procurement directors will miss nuances that a healthcare-specialist researcher catches instinctively. Organizing by sector means our discussion guides use the right terminology, our recruitment hits the right titles, and our analysis contextualizes findings within the forces that shape your market.
The twelve sectors shown here represent our core practices, but SIS has conducted research across 45+ industries over four decades. If your category doesn’t map neatly to one of these groups — niche B2B verticals, emerging technology categories, or cross-sector questions — contact us directly. We’ll assign the analyst team with the closest expertise.
SIS maintains proprietary panels of verified industry professionals — CISOs, fleet managers, hospital procurement directors, food scientists, and hundreds of other specialist titles. B2B participants are title-confirmed against live organizational data. We don’t use recycled consumer survey panels for professional respondent needs.
Yes. Cross-sector engagements are common — particularly for conglomerates evaluating portfolio strategy, PE firms conducting due diligence across multiple targets, or companies exploring adjacent-market entry. We assemble blended teams that combine sector specialists so each vertical gets the depth it requires.
All twelve sector practices operate globally across 135+ countries. Each sector group maintains regional specialists with local-language capabilities and in-country field teams for primary data collection spanning the Americas, Europe, MENA, and Asia Pacific.
Start with a scoping call. Tell us the business decision you’re trying to make, the industry context, the target audience, and your timeline. We’ll assign the right sector lead and provide a transparent line-item proposal — typically within 48 hours of that initial conversation.
