Euromonitor offers industries and consumer behaviors dashboards with interactive features to allowing users to choose a large set of data and drill into it by market size, brand share, geographic region, country, as well as historic sales and growth rates.

The interactive industry dashboard below allows user to view industry day (in this case Consumer Electronics) and drill down to market size, per capita and growth rates by country, or switch to a scatter plot ot bar chart view.  

Mapping of "Consumer Electronics" by Euromonitor

The example below is a consumer behavior chart dealing with green preferences, and more specifically, green preferences in respect to fresh food.   By choosing very specific areas to compare, I was able to build a chart of attitudes of 30-44 year olds, with university or graduate level education, and broken out by geographic region.    Users can revert back to the raw static from any of the interactive charts.
