NAICS 313210

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System is the framework Federal statistical programs use to categorize business establishments so economic data can be collected, analyzed, and published consistently. Developed under OMB’s auspices and adopted in 1997, NAICS was created jointly by the U.S. ECPC, Statistics Canada, and Mexico’s INEGI to ensure cross-country comparability; the current published structure includes a 2022 vintage. ¹
NAICS 313210 (Broadwoven Fabric Mills) covers establishments primarily engaged in weaving broadwoven fabrics and felts (excluding tire fabrics and rugs). Establishments may weave only; weave and finish; or weave, finish, and further fabricate fabric products—capturing integrated mills that combine these production stages. This U.S. industry is part of NAICS 3132 Fabric Mills within the Manufacturing sector. ²

2022 NAICS vintage and data notes

Frequently asked questions

• What activities define broadwoven fabric mills?
  Establishments primarily weave broadwoven fabrics and felts, and may also finish and further fabricate these fabrics in-house. Tire fabrics and rugs are not included. This reflects integrated textile production centered on weaving. ²

• How do broadwoven mills differ from operations producing narrow fabrics?
  Narrow fabrics are widths intended for narrow goods and specialized applications; those operations fall under separate NAICS for narrow fabric mills. Broadwoven mills produce wider woven fabrics and felts as the primary activity. ²

• Are finishing operations included in this industry?
  Yes. Establishments in this industry may weave only; weave and finish; or weave, finish, and further fabricate. Finishing-only establishments for broadwoven fabrics are classified elsewhere (see finishing-focused industries). ²

• What NAICS vintage underlies current federal statistics for this industry?
  Recent Census releases, including the 2022 Economic Census, use the 2022 NAICS vintage. Full adoption across remaining Census programs is targeted by the end of 2027. ³
