At present, various institutes and companies provide information and the industrial and technological statistics in the world, and Statista is one of the active companies in this field. Founded in 2008, the German company has a staff of more than 250 experts and analysts in various fields, and by benefitting from the experiences of those groups, it provides information and data in a creative manner. The company provides its products for all users including university professors and the private sector. Some consulting firms and media purchase the service license of the firm, although business firms and research institutes are among Statista’s customers too.
In order to produce some reports which have been ordered by the customers, a close interaction is created between Statista experts and the firm’s researchers. Therefore, the main policy of the company can be defined as close interaction with the customers to reach their desired outcome.
Statista has divided its activities into 21 various sections to facilitate its work and to allow the customers to access directly their needed information. In fact, Statista’s interaction does not include the sales of reports only, and it produces material and information and paves the way for the customers to access the information.
The access to some data in Statista is free for everyone, but an account must be purchased to reach some special data. In addition to selling reports, the sale of accounts to reach data is another source of income for Statista.
Reports on market research, scientific journals, industrial reports, and state databanks are among the information sources of Statista. By studying these sources and analyzing data, this company produces reliable reports.
