313320

Analysis

NAICS 313320 is the 2022 national industry for fabric coating mills, part of 31332 (Fabric Coating Mills). Census lists 19 example activities under it in the official index.

County Business Patterns counts 147 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 6,992 people at an average annual payroll of $67,284 per employee (48th percentile of national industries). 21% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.

Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include garments, oiling (i.e., waterproofing), laminating purchased textiles, leather, artificial, made from purchased fabric and metallizing purchased textiles, among 19 in all.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 8% and employment rose 4%. 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.

Its goods appear in 41 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 5903 (textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated…), 5906 (rubberized textile fabrics, other than those of heading 5902) and 5907 (). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.

For example, dyeing and finishing textiles are classified in 313310 (Textile and Fabric Finishing Mills) instead.
