A downstream industry would be an industry dependent upon a supplier for goods or services before it is able to supply its consumer with finshed goods or services.
An example would be an auto maker dependent on a steel mill for raw material.

Downstream industry, is an industry 'down the stream' in your supply chain. So if the fisrt industry mines the iron ore, then a down stream industry would be someone who refines the iron ore. Furher down stream would be those who uses the refined products (metal) to make cars etc.
