Analysis

NAICS 42369 is the 2022 NAICS industry for other electronic parts and equipment merchant wholesalers, part of 4236 (Household Appliances and Electrical and Electronic Goods Merchant Wholesalers).

It has only one more detailed code, 423690, which covers exactly the same activities; the definition, index entries and statistics are on that page.

County Business Patterns counts 10,076 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 255,269 people at an average annual payroll of $163,673 per employee (99th percentile of national industries). 51% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.

Between 2018 and 2023 the number of establishments fell 14% and employment rose 0%. 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.
