depending on which sectors in particular I would recommend one  of the major market research publishers such as Mintel or Key Notes. Alternatively keep an eye out for industry related research in newspapers such as the FT which regularly issue sector related information.

I agree with vamsy, however I do both so much it is hard to choose whick is best, however when you think of the profit range, I think Google.   because the stock market talks about it alot and it made alot of people that work for them very rich within the last year. ( those that invested in the stocks that is. ) Oh My, I can't believe I overlooked that one!!!! eewwwww!

Business intelligence systems can help you better understand your products, your customers, and your services, and they can actually have a very nice ROI. Oftentimes you can clearly show increased customer loyalty, up-selling and cross-selling of more products to customers, and an ability again to hold onto the customer and not lose it to competition.Business intelligence can mean the difference between success and failure in e-business. The ability to successfully leverage operational data and networked applications into new Business Intelligence systems requires a solid architectural framework that simplifies complex development and increases product time to market. \n\nHave a look at the source,for more iformation!

I would go with businesses that spend a lot of money acquiring new customers.  Cellular phones and car companies probably spend the most, too bad you dismissed those ideas.  Probably the next down the list is credit cards.  Internet service providers, game manufacturers and soft drinks are probably up there too for that target market.
