At Semrush, we understand the value of looking at market data from various angles. So, we're excited to share our newest Market Explorer feature: Business Categories. This new data-gathering option offers the widest views of any industry to help you develop big-picture insights. 

View the Big Picture with Business Categories 

With Market Explorer’s new ‘Analyze Category’ function, you can select one of 110 business categories, like retail, healthcare, or finance, and access broadscale data for the selected industry.

This feature allows you to: 
  • Analyze broadscale data in the selected category 
  • View metrics in almost every widget across the Market Explorer tool 
  • Switch easily between industries for cross-industry analysis 
With business categories, you can get big picture metrics like market size and competition levels, and identify top players while analyzing their market share:
