Analysis
NAICS 325620 is the 2022 national industry for toilet preparation manufacturing, part of 32562 (Toilet Preparation Manufacturing). Census lists 42 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 1,096 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 48,968 people at an average annual payroll of $67,238 per employee (47th percentile of national industries). 41% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include after-shave preparations manufacturing, antiperspirants, personal, manufacturing, baby powder and baby oil manufacturing and bath salts manufacturing, among 42 in all.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 8% and employment fell 10%. 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 24 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 3304 (beauty or make-up preparations and preparations for the…), 3307 (pre-shave, shaving or after-shave preparations, personal…) and 3305 (preparations for use on the hair). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
For example, manufacturing toothpaste are classified in 325611 (Soap and Other Detergent Manufacturing) instead.
