32411

Analysis

NAICS 32411 is the 2022 NAICS industry for petroleum refineries, part of 3241 (Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing).

It has only one more detailed code, 324110, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 143 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 55,064 people at an average annual payroll of $162,051 per employee (99th percentile of national industries). 8% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 16% and employment fell 14%. 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 3rd of the 3 codes at this level within Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing, with 6.9% of them.
