There is no single 2025 data source that cleanly breaks out Filipino American–owned businesses in Nevada by detailed industry, but available statistics let us sketch a reasonable profile and give you working numbers with caveats:

Filipino American population in Nevada (2025)

  • Estimated Filipino population in Nevada (ACS-based 2025 estimate): about 184,000 people, roughly 5.9% of the state’s population.[neilsberg]​

  • Nevada ranks among the top five states by Filipino population nationwide.[neilsberg]​

  • Filipinos are the largest Asian-origin community in Nevada and a major share of the broader AAPI population.wikipedia+1

Fil-Am business presence (national context, applied to Nevada)

Direct, Nevada-specific counts of Filipino-owned firms by industry are not published for 2025, so you have to infer from national AANHPI ownership patterns and the known concentration of Filipinos in Nevada:

  • AANHPI-owned firms represent about 11% of all employer businesses in the U.S. and are highly concentrated in services, especially accommodation and food services, retail trade, and health care.[epop.norc]​

  • Nearly 1 in 5 employer businesses in the accommodation and food services sector nationally are Asian-owned, underscoring a strong presence in restaurants, hotels, and related hospitality.[epop.norc]​

  • Given Filipinos’ large share of Nevada’s AAPI population, it is reasonable to assume Filipino Americans account for a substantial fraction of those Asian-owned firms in Nevada, especially in Southern Nevada (Las Vegas–Clark County corridor).aapichamber+1

Likely top sectors for Fil-Am–owned businesses in Nevada (2025)

This list reflects: (a) national sector patterns for Asian-owned businesses, (b) Nevada’s tourism- and service-heavy economy, and (c) visible Fil-Am business directories and community reports in Southern Nevada.filipinotownlvdirectory+2

  • Accommodation and food services

    • Restaurants (Filipino, pan-Asian, fusion), fast-casual concepts, cafés, bakeries, catering, and small hotel/motel operations are core areas.

  • Retail trade

    • Asian/Filipino grocery stores, water stores, specialty food shops, beauty and personal care retail, and small general merchandise stores serving both Filipino and broader Asian communities.

  • Health care and social assistance

    • Many Filipino Americans in Nevada work in nursing and allied health; some own home health agencies, adult daycare, behavioral health practices, and small outpatient or wellness services.pewresearch+1

  • Construction, real estate, and home services

    • Small contractors, remodeling and home improvement, landscaping, property management, and real estate brokerage, as reflected in local Fil-Am business directories

  • Professional, scientific, and technical services

    • Accounting and tax prep, consulting, marketing and design services, IT support, and other professional services, often oriented around small business and immigrant communities

  • Personal services and other services

    • Salons, spas, beauty services, event planning, photography, cleaning services, auto repair/detailing, and similar consumer-facing microbusinesses.

Approximate sector distribution (working framework)

Because Nevada does not publish a “Filipino-owned” cut of its business registry, you will likely need to model the distribution if you are doing planning, advocacy, or a grant/report. A reasonable, clearly-labeled estimate for Fil-Am–owned employer and nonemployer firms combined in Nevada could look like this, anchored to national AANHPI shares but adjusted for Nevada’s tourism economy:[epop.norc]​

Broad sector Illustrative share of Fil-Am firms in NV (2025, modeled)

Accommodation & food services 25–35%, Retail trade1 5–20%, Health care & social assistance 10–15%, Construction, real estate, home services10–15%, Professional, scientific & technical services–10%, Personal & other services10–15%, Transportation & warehousing 3–7%.

All other sectors combined 5–10%

These are not official government numbers; they are a structured estimate that you can refine if you gain access to microdata (e.g., ABS microdata by owner ethnicity) or targeted local surveys.[epop.norc]​
