By finding the NAICS code for your industry, you can search for information on your sector in library databases and online (Google, etc.).
Note: Please remember that your business might not have a NAICS code. In this case, use one similar to your business.
Use the NAICS Code to determine which industry (or industries) best reflect or fit your primary lines of business (product or service). Industry codes provide practical ways to search for company and industry reports in many statistics databases.

NAICS codes are also required by Federal, state, and local governments for administrative, taxes, or contracting purposes. NAICS is a two- through six-digit hierarchical classification system, offering five levels of details.
