Morphology

industry + analysis

The phrase denotes an analysis (systematic examination) of an industry (the organizations and activities producing goods or services), so its meaning is directly compositional from the two constituents. This noun+noun construction and the semantic relationship (analysis of X) is common cross-linguistically and follows standard English patterns, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.

Etymology

Industry analysis comes from the image of walking through factories and shops and looking closely at each part to see how they work. So industry means 'businesses' and analysis means 'a careful look', and together the phrase means studying a whole 'market' to find risks and chances.
