Analysis
NAICS 336999 is the 2022 national industry for all other transportation equipment manufacturing, part of 33699 (Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing). Census lists 11 example activities under it in the official index.
Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 19% and employment rose 47%. 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 1st of the 3 codes at this level within Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing, with 48.2% of them.
Census lists 8 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 336991, 336992, 33661 and 33641. 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.
