About ISIC Classification
ISIC is the international reference classification of productive activities maintained by the United Nations Statistics Division. It provides a coherent and consistent classification structure for grouping economic activities based on their characteristics.
The classification is organized in a hierarchical structure:
- Sections (A-U) — Broad categories using letter codes
- Divisions (01-99) — 2-digit subdivisions
- Groups (011-990) — 3-digit detailed categories
- Classes (0111-9900) — 4-digit most detailed level
Our industry analysis profiles use ISIC codes to classify industries, making it easy to compare related industries and understand their position in the broader economy.
