We analyze the occurrence of in-plane anisotropy in the electronic, magnetic,elastic and transport properties of more than one thousand 2D materials fromthe C2DB database. We identify hundreds of anisotropic materials and classifythem according to their point group symmetry and degree of anisotropy. Astatistical analysis reveals that a lower point group symmetry and a largeramount of different elements in the structure favour all types of anisotropies,which could be relevant for future materials design approaches. Besides, weidentify novel compounds, predicted to be easily exfoliable from a parent bulkcompound, with anisotropies that largely outscore those of already known 2Dmaterials. Our findings provide a comprehensive reference for future studies ofanisotropic response in atomically-thin crystals and point to new previouslyunexplored materials for the next generation of anisotropic 2D devices.
