Analysis
NAICS 3149 is the 2022 industry group for other textile product mills, part of 314 (Textile Product Mills). Census lists 89 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 3,701 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 53,450 people at an average annual payroll of $46,742 per employee (14th percentile of national industries). 51% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
By establishments it ranks 1st of the 2 codes at this level within Textile Product Mills, with 74.1% of them.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 9% and employment fell 5%. 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.
Across its national industries Census lists 89 index entries; typical ones are awnings and canopies, outdoor, made from purchased fabrics, cord (except wire) manufacturing and aircraft tie-down strap assemblies (except leather)….
Its goods appear in 192 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 7019 (glass fibers (including glass wool) and articles thereof…), 5607 (twine, cordage, ropes and cables, whether or not plaited or…) and 6406 (parts of footwear (including uppers whether or not attached…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
