North American Industry Classification System Codes for 2022

NAICS 2022 provides a standardized set of 2-6 digit codes for classifying industries across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The system was developed collaboratively by the three nations to support consistent industrial statistics. This version includes revisions to account for economic changes and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map business records to standardized industry categories using the `naics22` and `industry` columns for economic reporting.
• Analyze industry hierarchies and relationships by joining data on `sector`, `subsector`, and `naicsIndustry` codes.
• Classify company activities for statistical surveys or regulatory compliance using the `itemDescription` and `nationalIndustry` fields.

Strengths

• Standardized 2-6 digit coding system agreed upon by three national governments.
• Includes hierarchical columns (`sector`, `subsector`, `naicsIndustry`) for structural analysis.
• Data was updated in April 2026, reflecting recent economic revisions.

Limitations

• Sample data and total row count are unavailable, preventing assessment of completeness.
• The dataset provides classification codes only, lacking actual business or economic metrics.
