Our database holds 535,638 records (as of 4 November 2026); they are not yet assigned to an industry, so there are no counts of our own per industry yet. For your request we confirm the scope and data date in advance.
Export of the whole industry: €329 (final price). Selections by province, municipality or your own filters are quoted individually.
Official statistics: 322,765 businesses in the Netherlands according to CBS StatLine, table 81589NED “Bedrijven; bedrijfstak” (reference date 1 October 2026 (provisional), table updated 15 October 2026). Section Q human health and social work (233,665) plus hairdressing and beauty treatment (96.02, 80,030) and saunas, solariums and baths (96.04, 9,070). This is the size of the market, not the size of our database.
The industry combines SBI section Q (human health and social work: 233,665 businesses) with hairdressing and beauty treatment (96.02: 80,030) and saunas, solariums and baths (96.04: 9,070). CBS counts 322,765 businesses in total (1 October 2026).
The largest group is paramedical practices (86.91: 86,015), including physiotherapists, psychologists and other independent care providers. Many of them work as sole traders.

Healthcare has more public registers than any other industry. They are meant to verify a care professional or provider.
These 15 columns are included.
A supplier of medical devices looks for different companies than a supplier of hairdressing products. So order the industry by subclass where possible: medical practices (86.2), paramedics (86.9), institutions (86.1, 87) or hairdressers and beauty salons (96.02). That is possible once the source provides the SBI code; the current records have no SBI code yet.
Care professionals are bound by confidentiality and are critical of unsolicited approaches. Many practices are sole traders: you may only call them with their consent. Institutions that are a foundation or bv can be called on business matters.
We supply practice software for physiotherapists and are looking for physiotherapy practices (SBI 86.912) throughout the Netherlands with website and phone number. How many practices are there?

Questions
In the SBI, yes. GPs (86.21), medical specialists (86.22) and dentists (86.23) each have their own SBI class. Such a selection by SBI code is only possible once the source provides the field; the current records have no SBI code yet. CBS counts 15,060 GP practices and 11,880 dental practices (1 October 2026).
Because suppliers of care products, point-of-sale systems and training often serve both target groups. In the SBI, hairdressers and beauty salons belong to other service activities (96.02); you can order or exclude them separately. That is possible once the source provides the SBI code; the current records have no SBI code yet.
Email only with prior consent or to an address published for that purpose. Calling is allowed for institutions that are legal entities; for practices that are sole traders only with consent. See B2B outreach and the Telecommunications Act.
