What is Statista and what is it used for?
Statista is a statistics and market intelligence platform where teams look up data, studies and market information to support business analysis. It is a data product, not IT software.
The catalog describes four kinds of use: finding indicators on markets and research topics, reading reports to put trends and economic segments in context, checking the origin and methodology of the numbers before using them in decisions and presentations, and using charts and tables to communicate results.
According to the vendor, each statistic can be downloaded as PNG, PDF, XLS and PPT. The Excel file holds the raw data and, on a second sheet, details about the source, the survey and the release date. Statista also offers Market Insights, with 5-year forecasts and 10 years of history, and access through a REST API or MCP.
What each team can download and consult depends on the type of account it buys.
