32711

Analysis

NAICS 32711 is the 2022 NAICS industry for pottery, ceramics, and plumbing fixture manufacturing, part of 3271 (Clay Product and Refractory Manufacturing).

It has only one more detailed code, 327110, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 575 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 12,082 people at an average annual payroll of $53,796 per employee (22nd percentile of national industries). 54% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.

By establishments it ranks 1st of the 2 codes at this level within Clay Product and Refractory Manufacturing, with 55.5% of them.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 1% and employment fell 3%. 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.
