The Online Flower Retailers industry is made up of operators that sell flowers online, receiving orders and payments through websites and then using either a network of local florists or growers to fulfil and deliver the order. Over the past five years, industry operators gained a significant competitive advantage over traditional florists, as consumers have increasingly moved online for flower purchases, particularly following the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak. The growth of the online flower market has increasingly pushed bricks-and-mortar florists to the fringes of the market.

Industry operators create language-learning software, which includes features such as language-learning games, speech-recognition technology, online practice sessions with native speakers and language exchange platforms. Over the past five years, the industry has expanded substantially, with revenue estimated to grow at a compound annual rate of 26.4%. This impressive result is in part explained by the fact that the industry is relatively young, as the majority of its companies have been operating for less than 10 years. Language learning applications have grown massively in popularity among consumers, providing a cheaper alternative to traditional face-to-face courses, while allowing greater flexibility to users...

This industry's main product is potash, most of which is destined for use in the manufacture of fertiliser. Small amounts of baryte, mainly used as an input to drilling fluids for hydrocarbon exploration and production, are also mined.

Immersive technologies (i.e. virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) and haptics) integrate visual content with the physical environment, thus “immersing” the user of associated devises (e.g. head-mounted display (HMD) units) in a simulated setting. Operators in the Immersive Technology industry design and develop immersive visualisation software programs, systems and networks. Operators subsequently sell these solutions (i.e. intellectual property) to clients under licence and may also undertake bespoke projects related to the development of immersive tech and related content on behalf of clients, generating revenue and profit by charging clients a fee. The manufacturing of tangible products on... Learn More

As organised crime schemes have become increasingly sophisticated, fraud detection software has followed suit. The growth in artificial intelligence (AI) has shifted industry interest from rule-based... Learn More

The Venture Capital industry has seen healthy growth over the past decade, as investors increasingly turn to private markets, seeing the benefits of greater returns and portfolio diversification that a venture capitalist can offer.

This phenomenon has become all too common in recent years, with the rapid pace of technological change giving rise to exciting advancements like generative AI.

Refiners of petroleum have a lot to worry about. The price of crude oil soared over the past five years, which made operating conditions volatile and uncertain. High oil prices will artificially increase revenue of the Petroleum Refining industry by an estimated 1.9% annually over the five years to 2010-11, to £37.78 billion, but performance is in no way positive. About half of the eight refiners are looking to sell their business due to poor profit margins. The demand for petroleum products has been declining over the period due to improved fuel efficiency and concerns about the environment. The recession... Learn More
