Brazil Metal Processing Sector Report 2020/2024

Brazil is among the leading players in the global metal processing industry. The country was not only the ninth largest crude steel producer in the world and the sixth leading net steel exporter in 2019 but also one of the top 20 primary aluminium producers. Brazil has some of the vastest reserves of iron ore, nickel and bauxite, all strategic minerals for the metal processing sector. Despite these strengths, the industry has been struggling with a weakened domestic market, a result of the 2014-2016 economic crisis in the country, while exports have been affected by ever-increasing tensions in the global markets, created by the implementation of protectionist measures by large consumer markets such as the US and the EU. ​
