Why Inoopa for sector studies

Beyond NACE codes: real sector mapping

Official statistics undercount emerging sectors by 3 to 5x. Inoopa identifies companies based on what they actually do, not what they declare.

  • Comprehensive market analysis

    Full view of a sector: real size, key players, growth dynamics, market concentration, and unexploited white-space opportunities.

  • Competitor benchmarking

    Compare your positioning against direct and indirect competitors. Understand their strengths, weaknesses, and growth strategies in depth.

  • Industry trends and insights

    Weak signals, emerging technologies, sectors in transformation: Inoopa detects trends before they become mainstream knowledge.

  • Company ecosystem mapping

    Visualise company networks, value chains, supplier-customer relationships, and innovation clusters in any sector across BeNeLux.

  • Look-alike identification

    From your best customers, Inoopa builds a semantic profile and identifies every company in the market that matches it.

  • Custom research on demand

    Bespoke studies delivered by our analysts using Inoopa data. Turnkey sector reports tailored to your specific strategic question.

Data vs official statistics

The gap between official figures and ground reality

NACE codes no longer reflect economic reality. Emerging sectors are massively undercounted. Inoopa reveals the true competitive landscape that official data hides.

  • 4x more AI companies identified vs Eurostat figures
  • Fine-grained segmentation impossible with official classifications
  • Innovation clusters invisible in administrative datasets
  • Recently adopted technologies not reflected in NACE codes
  • Multi-activity companies collapsed into a single category
