Morphology
The compound is directly compositional: an 'industry analyst' is literally an 'analyst' (someone who analyzes) who focuses on an 'industry' (a sector producing goods or services). This modifier+head pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Industry analyst comes from the idea of an analyst watching an entire industry. Imagine someone with binoculars looking over many companies and factories to 'study and predict' what will happen next, so the term means a person who looks at trends and the future of a whole industry.
