32614

Analysis

NAICS 32614 is the 2022 NAICS industry for polystyrene foam product manufacturing, part of 3261 (Plastics Product Manufacturing).

It has only one more detailed code, 326140, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 425 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 28,573 people at an average annual payroll of $58,745 per employee (31st percentile of national industries). 15% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 1% and employment rose 1%. 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 6th of the 7 codes at this level within Plastics Product Manufacturing, with 4.4% of them.
