The LinkedIn industry list 2025 for every subscription plan

To be as accurate as possible when it comes to the LinkedIn Industry List 2025, we manually checked all industries listed below as well as the number of leads and accounts for each industry on LinkedIn and Sales Navigator.

Currently, LinkedIn and Recruiter members can filter leads and accounts based on 149 industries. The LinkedIn and Recruiter industry options are more generic according to the ones reserved for Sales Navigator subscribers. 

Namely, Sales Navigator members have 413 industries at their disposal and include both generic industries as well as their sub-industries. This implies that Sales Navigator subscribers can take their LinkedIn prospecting to the next level and filter leads and accounts with more precision. 

Also, when choosing the industry for your LinkedIn profile and your company’s LinkedIn profile page, LinkedIn will let you choose among the 413 industries from the Sales Navigator list that you can find down below independently from your LinkedIn subscription. 

All of this being said, in this blog, you’ll find:

For Sales Navigator 

• The complete updated Sales Navigator industry list with the number of leads and accounts for each industry. 
• The top 20 industries with the highest number of companies according to Sales Navigator. 
• The top 10 industries with the highest number of leads according to Sales Navigator. 
• The bottom 10 industries with the lowest number of companies according to Sales Navigator. 
• The bottom 10 industries with the lowest number of leads according to Sales Navigator. 

For LinkedIn

• The complete updated Recruiter and LinkedIn industry list with the number of leads and accounts for each industry. 
• The top 10 industries with the highest number of companies according to LinkedIn.
• The top 10 industries with the highest number of leads according to LinkedIn and Recruiter.
• The bottom 10 industries with the lowest number of companies according to LinkedIn.
• The bottom 10 industries with the lowest number of leads according to LinkedIn and Recruiter. 

However, bare in mind that these numbers change on a daily bases. LinkedIn members update their industries, the platform welcomes new members and new company pages. Therefore, there will always be a fluctuation in the number of registered leads and accounts.

Furthermore, the below statistics refers only to people and company pages registered on LinkedIn. There might be businesses and industries for which it doesn't make much sense to be on the platform or online in general, despite the times that we live in. Take this into consideration if one of those businesses or industries is your target.

SALES NAVIGATOR INDUSTRY LIST 2025

Starting June 2022, Sales Navigator switched to a more detailed list of industries that now has both industries and their sub-industries for better categorization and targeting. Further, we manually checked their official industry list and updated some of the industries based on what's live on Sales Navigator at this moment. The Sales Navigator industry list counts 413 industries for leads and 413 industries for accounts.

Furthermore, when setting up your profile, LinkedIn gives you the opportunity to use the following Sales Navigator list of industries and therefore be as specific as possible when it comes to your field of business. 

Also, some of the niche industries will not show up in the drop-down menu unless you specifically type them in, both in your contact info and when using Sales Navigator filters.
