Other personal service activities

NACE code 96 covers a diverse range of 'other personal service activities' that are not classified elsewhere. This broad industry encompasses a wide variety of services catering to the personal needs of individuals, from hairdressing and beauty treatments to funeral and burial services. These activities play a vital role in meeting the day-to-day requirements of the population and contribute to the overall quality of life within a community. As such, the 'other personal service activities' industry is an important component of the broader service sector and the national economy.

The production techniques used in this industry vary significantly depending on the specific service being provided. For example, hairdressing and beauty treatments typically involve the use of specialized equipment and products, as well as the application of various techniques by trained professionals. Funeral and burial services, on the other hand, may involve the preparation and presentation of the deceased, as well as the coordination of ceremonies and the provision of related products and services.

The main inputs required for the 'other personal service activities' industry include a skilled workforce, specialized equipment and tools, and a range of consumable products (e.g., hair care products, cosmetics, funeral supplies). Depending on the specific service, additional inputs such as vehicles, facilities, and utilities may also be necessary. The availability and quality of these inputs can have a significant impact on the ability of businesses in this industry to meet the evolving needs and expectations of their customers.

The primary outputs of the 'other personal service activities' industry are the various services provided to individual consumers, such as hairdressing, beauty treatments, funeral and burial services, and other personal care activities. These services are often consumed directly by households and individuals, although some outputs may also be used as inputs by other NACE codes, such as 96.03 Funeral and related activities and 96.02 Hairdressing and other beauty treatment.
