NAICS/SIC
Use NAICS (North American Industrial Classification System) and SIC
(Standard Industrial Classification) codes to find market size, develop
lists of competitors, suppliers or customers, find industry ratios, and
more.
There is no central government agency with the
role of assigning, monitoring, or approving NAICS codes for establishments.
Individual establishments are assigned NAICS codes by various agencies for
various purposes using a variety of methods. Various other government agencies,
trade associations, and regulation boards adopted the NAICS classification
system to assign codes to their own lists of establishments for their own
programmatic needs.
The Standard Industrial Classification
(abbreviated SIC), established in 1937, is a United States government
system for classifying industries by a four-digit code.The
project was designed to classify "industries" in the broad sense of
all economic activity. As the definition of US “industry” has changed from a manufacturing
focus to idea or services focus the SIC code was less useful.
NAICS was developed under the direction and
guidance of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as the standard for use
by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the
collection, tabulation, presentation, and analysis of statistical data
describing the U.S. economy. NAICS is based on a production-oriented concept,
meaning that it groups establishments into industries according to similarity
in the processes used to produce goods or services. NAICS replaced the Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) system in 1997.
Database and datasets will often use a modified NAICS or SIC classification system to organize companies.
