The data sources required for industry research are roughly divided into four types (data encyclopedia link attached):
1. Data search engine
It collects a large amount of data from all industries or vertical fields. You can find very precise data through precise or fuzzy search and download structured data tables.
For example, Dysprosium:
The homepage of Dyshuju has a comprehensive and detailed data classification section, 12 major fields, 100+ industry data, and packaged popular industry data packages.
For example, if the subject is doing research on k12, you can search for "k12" on the homepage:
A batch of k12 related data can be found.
On the data details page, you can preview the visualization and download the source data format.
2. Macro data platform
It collects national/global macro statistics, usually from national statistical departments or large organizations, and is highly authoritative.
For example, the National Bureau of Statistics:
On the annual data page, you can clearly search for the required industry data according to the classification tree. Let’s take education as an example:

You can search for the required data in each subcategory under the education category. If the data is not available here, don't expect other websites to have it.
3. Comprehensive data platform
The field of data is relatively medium-sized, mostly provided by professional consulting companies, etc. Many of them are sample survey data, but the areas of concern are both broad and deep.
For example, Alibaba Cloud Tianchi:

It is a global big data scientific research platform, with global data organizations providing data for academic purposes.

You can choose to download the required data on the data details page.
4. Industry segmentation data platform
Focus on a specific industry and mine more specialized data.
To give another example, Fang Tianxia:
Everything from macro data on the real estate market to meso data on transaction prices in various places can be queried.
Finally, here is a collection of 150+ various data websites prepared by Xiaodi for everyone!
1. Data search engine
Statista: Global data retrieval, both macro and micro, some fees are charged
Dysprosium Data: 6000+ data institutions, 12 major fields, 100+ industry data, most of which are free. You can download the original data and view the visualization effects.
CEIC: Mainly macro data, some charges
Our World in Data: Website run by civil society organizations, free, mostly demographic data
China Report Hall: Mainly macro data in the form of text + charts, slightly less structured
JD Vientiane: As long as you pay, you can check everything
