42339

Analysis

NAICS 42339 is the 2022 NAICS industry for other construction material merchant wholesalers, part of 4233 (Lumber and Other Construction Materials Merchant Wholesalers).

It has only one more detailed code, 423390, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 3,756 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 51,293 people at an average annual payroll of $76,928 per employee (64th percentile of national industries). 41% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments grew 4% 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 2nd of the 4 codes at this level within Lumber and Other Construction Materials Merchant Wholesalers, with 20.7% of them.
