NAICS 313 - Textile Mills
Industries in the Textile Mills subsector group establishments that transform a basic fiber (natural or synthetic) into a product, such as yarn or fabric, that is further manufactured into usable items, such as apparel, sheets towels, and textile bags for individual or industrial consumption. The further manufacturing may be performed in the same establishment and classified in this subsector, or it may be performed at a separate establishment and be classified elsewhere in manufacturing.
The main processes in this subsector include preparation and spinning of fiber, knitting or weaving of fabric, and the finishing of the textile. The NAICS structure follows and captures this process flow. Major industries in this flow, such as preparation of fibers, weaving of fabric, knitting of fabric, and fiber and fabric finishing, are uniquely identified. Texturizing, throwing, twisting, and winding of yarn contains aspects of both fiber preparation and fiber finishing and is classified with preparation of fibers rather than with finishing of fiber.
NAICS separates the manufacturing of primary textiles and the manufacturing of textile products (except apparel) when the textile product is produced from purchased primary textiles, such as fabric. The manufacturing of textile products (except apparel) from purchased fabric is classified in Subsector 314, Textile Product Mills, and apparel from purchased fabric is classified in Subsector 315, Apparel Manufacturing.
Excluded from this subsector are establishments that weave or knit fabric and make garments. These establishments are included in Subsector 315, Apparel Manufacturing.
Industry trends:
As of late 2023, the NAICS 313 Textile Mills industry is experiencing a significant shift towards sustainability and technological integration. Consumers are increasingly demanding eco-friendly products, pushing mills to adopt sustainable practices such as using organic materials and reducing water and energy consumption. This green transition is also driven by stricter environmental regulations and the need for cost-efficiency in the long run.
Another noticeable trend is the rise of smart textiles. Innovations like conductive fabrics and textiles with embedded sensors are gaining traction, especially in fashion, sportswear, and medical applications. The incorporation of advanced technologies such as AI and IoT in manufacturing processes is enhancing productivity and quality control, making operations more efficient.
Looking ahead, the industry is forecasted to see continued growth in demand for sustainable and smart textiles. The global supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic have also underscored the importance of domestic manufacturing, suggesting a potential shift back towards local production to ensure resilience. Overall, these trends indicate a dynamic future for the textile mills industry, where adaptability and innovation will be key to staying competitive.
