Variant of NAICS 2002 - Durable and Non-Durable Goods Manufacturing Industries
31-33 - Manufacturing
This sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in the physical or chemical transformation of materials or substances into new products. These products may be finished, in the sense that they are ready to be used or consumed, or semi-finished, in the sense of becoming a raw material for an establishment to use in further manufacturing. Related activities, such as the assembly of the component parts of manufactured goods; the blending of materials; and the finishing of manufactured products by dyeing, heat-treating, plating and similar operations are also treated as manufacturing activities. Manufacturing establishments are known by a variety of trade designations, such as plants, factories or mills.
Manufacturing establishments may own the materials which they transform or they may transform materials owned by other establishments. Manufacturing may take place in factories or in workers' homes, using either machinery or hand tools.
Certain activities involving the transformation of goods are classified in other sectors. Some examples are post-harvest activities of agricultural establishments, such as crop drying; logging; the beneficiating of mineral ores; the production of structures by construction establishments; and various activities conducted by retailers, such as meat cutting and the assembly of products such as bicycles and computers.

This special aggregation comprises establishments coded to 'Food Manufacturing' (NAICS 311), 'Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing' (NAICS 312), 'Textile Mills' (NAICS 313), 'Textile Product Mills' (NAICS 314), 'Clothing Manufacturing' (NAICS 315), 'Leather and Allied Product Manufacturing' (NAICS 316), 'Paper Manufacturing' (NAICS 322) and to 'Printing and Related Support Activities' (NAICS 323), 'Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing' (NAICS 324), 'Chemical Manufacturing' (NAICS 325) and to 'Plastics and Rubber Products Manufacturing' (NAICS 326)
325 - Chemical Manufacturing
This subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing chemicals and chemical preparations, from organic and inorganic raw materials.
Exclusion(s):
Establishments primarily engaged in:
- field processing of crude petroleum and natural gas (See 211 Oil and Gas Extraction)
- beneficiating mineral ores (See 212 Mining (except Oil and Gas))
- processing crude petroleum and coal (See 324 Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing)
- smelting and refining ores and concentrates (See 331 Primary Metal Manufacturing)
3251 - Basic Chemical Manufacturing
This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing chemicals, using basic processes such as thermal cracking and distillation. Chemicals produced in this industry group are usually separate chemical elements or separate chemically-defined compounds.
32511 - Petrochemical Manufacturing
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in converting feedstocks derived from petroleum, or from petroleum and natural gas liquids, into petrochemicals. Some important processes used in petrochemical manufacturing include steam cracking and steam reforming. For the purpose of defining this industry, petrochemicals consist of acyclic (aliphatic) hydrocarbons and cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Exclusion(s):
Establishments primarily engaged in:
- refining crude petroleum into petrochemicals (See 32411 Petroleum Refineries)
- manufacturing acetylene (See 32512 Industrial Gas Manufacturing)
- converting petrochemicals into other basic chemicals (See 32519 Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing)
- manufacturing plastics resins and synthetic rubber (See 32521 Resin and Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing)
325110 - Petrochemical Manufacturing
This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in converting feedstocks derived from petroleum, or from petroleum and natural gas liquids, into petrochemicals. Some important processes used in petrochemical manufacturing include steam cracking and steam reforming. For the purpose of defining this industry, petrochemicals consist of acyclic (aliphatic) hydrocarbons and cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
