42322

Analysis

NAICS 42322 is the 2022 NAICS industry for home furnishing merchant wholesalers, part of 4232 (Furniture and Home Furnishing Merchant Wholesalers).

It has only one more detailed code, 423220, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 6,585 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 91,550 people at an average annual payroll of $78,094 per employee (66th percentile of national industries). 50% 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 Furniture and Home Furnishing Merchant Wholesalers, with 56.7% of them.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 9% and employment fell 4%. 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.
