Morphology

sector + analysis

The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'sector' (an economic or activity segment) with 'analysis' (a systematic examination), i.e. an analysis of a particular sector. This noun-noun composition follows a transparent, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

The noun sector analysis comes from the idea of looking at one sector, a slice or part of the economy, and doing a close analysis, like checking one piece of a map to see how it is doing. So, sector analysis means a 'careful study' of that part of the economy to understand its current health and future chances.
