'''Statista''' (styled in all lower case) is a German online platform that specializes in [[data gathering]] and [[Data and information visualization|visualization]]. In addition to publicly available third-party data, Statista also provides exclusive data via the platform, which is collected through its team's surveys and analysis.
==Profile==
Statista offers statistics and [[survey]] results in the form of bar charts and tables.
The main [[business model]] of the platform is offering corporate clients, educators and researchers access to quantitative data. This includes, for example, data on [[advertising]], [[consumer behaviour]] or separate [[business fields]]. These are divided over some 20 [[industry]] categories such as [[E-Commerce]] & [[Mail Order| Mail Order Trade]], [[Media]] & [[Advertising]] or [[Society]].


According to its own publications, Statista offers more than 1,000,000 [[statistics]] on over 80,000 topics from more than 22,500 sources in over 150 countries and is accessed 31 million times a month (as of December 2022). The company claims to cover around 170 industries with its content. In 2022, Statista reported more than two million registered users, with which the company generated around 140 million euros in revenue. Statista has been owned by [[Ströer|Ströer Media]] since 2015, with an 81.3% stake.{{citation needed|date=October 2023}}
Originally started as a free service financed through advertisements, many statistics are now completely accessible for owners of a purchased account. Paying for being able to see the data is motivated by the fact that “the data concerned is relevant for decision-making, researching and preparing it is time-consuming.” But 20 percent of the statistics are still accessible for free after signing up as a so-called basic user. <ref name="crl">[http://www.crl.edu/review/statista Statista Review by Center for research Libraries]</ref>
