Smithfield's figures join two ABS areas: the almost uninhabited Smithfield Industrial area and the residential Smithfield and Wetherill Park area. Together they held 2,750 businesses at June 2025, up 18.9% since 2021. The residential side is trade country, with 438 construction businesses and 281 in transport, postal and warehousing. The industrial side is smaller but heavier: 941 businesses led by manufacturing (162) and wholesale trade (154), and 287 of them turn over $2 million or more. Across both, just over half employ nobody. The website a renovator needs is not the one a fabricator needs.
