TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
They're often cited as a source where data about the computer industry
is concerned. You'd probably have to pay (e.g., buy a report from them)
to get that information, but maybe your client is already a Dataquest
customer. That might give you access to current and archived Dataquest
reports, if they are.

You could always contact computer and software companies. Novell,
Microsoft, Oracle, Dell, any of the biggies probably have subsidiaries
in any regional market you're interested in. Get the TC shovel and dig!

To who? Me? That's so cool! Don't forget to send them private, offline.
