Market snapshot
These figures describe Warranty & Service Contract Providers (3.3.8), the segment that Automotive Service Contract Providers sits within — not Automotive Service Contract Providers on its own.
No discrete Census NAICS code under this heading — warranty and service-contract activity sits within insurance carriers and related activities (524xxx), so the segment is not separately sized here.
