Analysis
NAICS 32619 is the 2022 NAICS industry for other plastics product manufacturing, part of 3261 (Plastics Product Manufacturing). Census lists 95 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 5,833 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 410,729 people at an average annual payroll of $56,854 per employee (27th percentile of national industries). 21% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.
By establishments it ranks 1st of the 7 codes at this level within Plastics Product Manufacturing, with 60.5% of them.
Census lists 10 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 32611, 32612, 32613 and 32614. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
Across its national industries Census lists 95 index entries; typical ones are bathtubs, plastics, manufacturing and awnings, rigid plastics or fiberglass, manufacturing.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 8% and employment rose 2%. 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.
