Enterprise size is generally categorized into extra-large, large, medium, small and micro.

The Measures for Classifying Large, Medium and Small Enterprises in Statistics (Provisional) take three indicators as the mark of classification, namely, the "number of employees", "sales" and "total assets" of the enterprise. "

The main reasons for this are:

Firstly, the "number of employees" as a classification indicator for enterprises is simple and clear, and is also in line with the common practice of major countries in the world, and is internationally comparable.

Secondly, "sales" can objectively reflect the scale of operation and market competitiveness of enterprises, and it is also an indicator with more complete data among the existing statistical indicators in China, which is easy to operate.

Thirdly, "total assets" can reflect the scale of enterprises from the level of resource utilization and production factors. Therefore, the use of these three indicators for the delineation of the type has a certain degree of scientific and operability.
