Analysis
NAICS 31321 is the 2022 NAICS industry for broadwoven fabric mills, part of 3132 (Fabric Mills).
It has only one more detailed code, 313210, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 234 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 13,276 people at an average annual payroll of $48,195 per employee (15th percentile of national industries). 32% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 19% and employment fell 19%. The 2018 count used NAICS 2017, so part of a large move can come from codes being redefined rather than from businesses opening or closing.
By establishments it ranks 1st of the 4 codes at this level within Fabric Mills, with 31.8% of them.
