Analysis
NAICS 3141 is the 2022 industry group for textile furnishings mills, part of 314 (Textile Product Mills). Census lists 26 example activities under it in the official index.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 23% and employment fell 13%. 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.
County Business Patterns counts 1,296 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 43,233 people at an average annual payroll of $48,399 per employee (16th percentile of national industries). 47% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 2 codes at this level within Textile Product Mills, with 25.9% of them.
Across its national industries Census lists 26 index entries; typical ones are automobile and aircraft carpet and rug manufacturing and bedspreads and bed sets made from purchased fabrics.
Its goods appear in 251 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 6302 (bed linen, table linen, toilet linen and kitchen linen), 5702 (carpets and other textile floor coverings, woven, not…) and 6304 (other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
