Analysis

NAICS 326191 is the 2022 national industry for plastics plumbing fixture manufacturing, part of 32619 (Other Plastics Product Manufacturing). Census lists 12 example activities under it in the official index.

County Business Patterns counts 287 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 18,118 people at an average annual payroll of $54,092 per employee (23rd percentile of national industries). 23% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which points to larger operations.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 15% and employment fell 7%. 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 2nd of the 2 codes at this level within Other Plastics Product Manufacturing, with 4.9% of them.

Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include bathtubs, plastics, manufacturing, chemical toilets, plastics, manufacturing, cultured marble plumbing fixtures manufacturing and drinking fountains (except mechanically refrigerated)…, among 12 in all.

Its goods appear in 2 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 3922 (baths, shower baths, sinks, washbasins, bidets, lavatory…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
