Analysis
NAICS 3362 is the 2022 industry group for motor vehicle body and trailer manufacturing, part of 336 (Transportation Equipment Manufacturing).
It has only one more detailed code, 33621, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.
County Business Patterns counts 2,199 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 170,535 people at an average annual payroll of $59,055 per employee (32nd 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 grew 14% 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.
By establishments it ranks 2nd of the 7 codes at this level within Transportation Equipment Manufacturing, with 18.8% of them.
