GICS Core

GICS Core is the top-level perspective within the Sector Intelligence of the G11 General Industry Compass System. This level is deliberately set at a distance and provides an overarching view of the central structures of the global economy.

The focus of GICS Core as the TIER 1 level of the G11 General Industry Compass System is on broadly defined economic sectors as stable organizational units. Instead of detailed subdivisions, the focus is on classifying economic activities into a few, sustainable categories that serve as a long-term frame of reference. The helicopter perspective of GICS Core opens up space for fundamental questions: How do weights shift between sectors? Which structures characterize entire sectors across economic cycles? And which sectoral dependencies only become visible from a distance?

#Health Care

The health care sector brings together companies that deal with health, medical care and life-related medical infrastructure. The focus is on services, products and systems that serve the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and care of people - regardless of economic cycles or consumer sentiment. Healthcare is a key sector for society. The companies grouped here cover a broad spectrum: from medical technology and healthcare products to pharmaceutical developments and services that enable the operation and organization of healthcare services. What they all have in common is a direct link to human well-being. The sector is characterized by its structural constancy. Demand does not arise from freedom of choice or lifestyle, but from medical need. At the same time, decision-making processes are often complex, long-term and highly regulated. Research, approval, quality assurance and security of supply play a greater role than short-term market impulses. Health care operates at the interface of science, business and public interest. Technological progress, demographic developments and social expectations influence the sector just as much as regulatory framework conditions and cost pressure. Innovation is essential, but usually takes place in a controlled manner and in clear development stages. The sector is also multi-layered in terms of content. It combines research-driven areas with highly operational structures and service-oriented models. This range makes health care both stable and dynamic - with long-term lines of development rather than short-term trends. Within GICS Eleven, Health Care forms a fundamental frame of reference for topics relating to medical progress, healthcare systems and basic social needs. The sector stands for continuity, responsibility and structural relevance - and serves as a stable basis for further application, technology and specialization perspectives.

The content of the GICS Health Care information portal is aimed at anyone who deals with health and medicine-related topics in a structured manner, either professionally or for their own interest. Anyone following developments in the field of medical care, pharmaceutical innovations, medical technology, regulatory framework conditions or structural changes in the healthcare system will find clearly focused access here. The targeted bundling of news, market movements and relevant information at sectoral level creates a clear overall picture of what is important in the healthcare environment - without having to search for a long time. For journalists, research units, market observers, media players and professional market participants, this approach enables direct access to content that would otherwise be scattered across numerous sources. Developments can be recorded, categorized and processed more quickly without first having to establish the appropriate context. Sectoral consolidation also creates tangible added value for investors - from institutional players to family offices and specialized market participants. It helps to better classify medical innovations, healthcare trends and regulatory developments and to filter information flows in a targeted manner. Private investors benefit in particular as they receive health-related information in a concentrated form, which is otherwise often fragmented or difficult to access. The focus on thematic relevance facilitates access to a complex and socially central market environment without the need for specialist knowledge. Regardless of perspective or experience, the key benefits are time savings, information consolidation and the consistent reduction of noise. GICS Health Care thus creates a structured environment in which relevant health and medical information becomes visible more quickly, easier to categorize and can be used in a more targeted manner.

Typical users of GICS Health Care view health as a basic social and economic system. They pursue medical innovation, regulation and care structures with a view to sustainability and scalability. What is relevant for them is where medical progress actually translates into systems.

GICS Health is aimed at players who professionally shape, support or communicate health, medical innovation and care. It is aimed at advertisers, agencies, manufacturers and service providers from the fields of medical technology, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, digital health solutions and related service and infrastructure providers whose services are anchored in a regulated, responsible environment. For agencies, PR and communication service providers, GICS Health Care offers an environment in which medical and health-related topics are placed in a factual, credible and contextualized manner. Studies, new products, regulatory milestones and thought leadership formats have an impact here because they reach an audience that separates relevance from substance and does not consume content superficially. Product manufacturers and solution providers find a focused space in GICS Health Care for offerings that improve prevention, diagnostics, therapy or care. Whether MedTech products, digital health applications, research collaborations or systemic solutions - visibility is created where innovation is translated into real care contexts and does not fizzle out in the general news noise. At the same time, the portal is a natural platform for industry information services, specialist media, medical publications, congress and trade fair organizers who rely on well-founded content and qualified attention. Events, studies and specialist formats reach an audience that sees health not as a trend, but as a permanent social and economic task.

Supplementary information

GICS Core acts as a strategic thinking space within the General Industry Compass system. The perspective provides orientation without simplifying and creates a common basis on which further perspectives - such as Trending or Microsectors - can be built upon in a targeted manner.

GICS Core is deliberately designed as an introductory and reference level.
The perspective is aimed at users who initially want to get their bearings, grasp interrelationships and understand sectoral structures in a broader economic context without committing to detailed analyses at an early stage.

As an organizing framework, GICS Core is particularly suitable:

as a conceptual haven of peace within the GICS family,
as a common reference level for cross-references to in-depth content,
as well as a conceptual starting point for further perspectives such as GICS Trending or GICS Microsectors.

The level thus serves less for operational analysis and more for strategic classification - it creates an overview, promotes systemic thinking and lays the foundation for in-depth discussion along downstream perspectives.
