Does anyone know of any alternatives to IBIS?

IBIS is great but the industry I am looking at hasn't been updated since 2020 and I have run into this problem a few times.

Normally, I wouldn't be overly concerned but the last few years have been particularly volatile. Thanks!

You might consider conducting primary market research as an alternative. To do this, create a list of questions you have about a market, identify people who are experts or operators in that market, and then go talk to them. Secondary research from providers like IBIS can be great, but there's no substitute for getting information first hand, from people on the front lines.

BVR sells a similar product to IBIS World called, Vertical IQ. I highly recommend it. Subscribers get access to their industry analysis, local economic reports, industry research (current articles) sales kits and more. Message me if you're interested in seeing a demo.
