Back in 1971, Australian business strategist and futurist Phil Ruthven founded IBISWorld as a consulting company and operated as such through the 1980s.
In 1987, IBISWorld shifted focus to concentrate solely on the electronic delivery of high quality industry information. A bold move considering this was pre-Internet! Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, IBISWorld expanded from Australia into Asia, followed by the United States, where we opened offices in New York and Los Angeles. In the 2010s, we opened our London and Frankfurt offices.
Fast forward to 2021 (50 years since our founding!) and IBISWorld now offers a full suite of industry research and expert tools to clients all over the globe. From commercial banks and financial services companies, to academic institutions, to consulting, accounting and legal firms, thousands of people depend on us to provide trusted industry research to help them make better business decisions, fast.
We look forward to serving you for the next 50 years and beyond.
