42332

Analysis

NAICS 42332 is the 2022 NAICS industry for brick, stone, and related construction material merchant wholesalers, part of 4233 (Lumber and Other Construction Materials Merchant Wholesalers).

It has only one more detailed code, 423320, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 3,736 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 37,399 people at an average annual payroll of $73,839 per employee (60th percentile of national industries). 47% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 2% and employment rose 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 3rd of the 4 codes at this level within Lumber and Other Construction Materials Merchant Wholesalers, with 20.6% of them.
