To be fair, I'm having trouble thinking of many examples of factories that might even be comparable. Auto and auto parts, obviously, are still big. But then I can't come in and say "tires" (included in the previous). What's even left?

There's a number of factories around me. They make things like:

Semiconductors

Telecommunications equipment

Elevator/Lift equipment

Agricultural equipment/trailers

Aeronautical parts (both mechanical and electronic/sensor)

Planes

Helicopters

Printing services

Nutrition supplements

Cars

Just a few off the top of my head.

These all seem to be growing a lot, as I see a lot of new buildings all the time. Many of these are definitely for domestic consumption, I'll grant you that.
