What are the causes for the increase in imports
In the context of the Brazilian economy, where imports play a key role,
the acquisition of capital goods, such as buses, trucks, machines, and
equipment, reached significant results in 2024. In the first 11 months of the
year, the sector recorded a 21% growth compared to the same period in 2023,
achieving a historic record.
Several factors drive this market trend. Among them, the advancement of
Chinese manufacturers stands out, as they have gained ground in Brazil thanks
to the advanced technology of their products and competitive prices compared to
national suppliers. This combination offers consumers greater savings and
access to cutting-edge solutions.
Furthermore, 2024 was marked by a strong recovery of infrastructure projects in Brazil, covering sectors crucial to the economy. Areas such asmining, solar and wind energy, highways, basic sanitation, and e-commercereceived significant investments, boosting the demand for capital goods and reinforcing the importance of imports in this economic recovery and growth scenario.
What are the benefits of importing machinery for your business?
There are several benefits for companies that embark on the journey of importing machinery, improving their operations and revolutionizing their market performance.
–Cost Reduction: Importing machinery can result in significant cost savings for companies, especially due to the competitive prices offered by Chinese suppliers, which are often more attractive than those in the national market. Additionally, in May 2023, the Brazilian government implemented a tax exemption for importing machines and equipment without national competitors.

By acquiring advanced technological equipment at lower costs, your business stands out in the national market, surpassing competitors. Furthermore, the use of modern machines increases operational efficiency, ensures greater safety in production processes, and boosts productivity, solidifying the company's position in the sector.
–Diversification in Product Portfolio: Importing offers opportunities to diversify the product portfolio, allowing the company to meet a wide range of consumer demands. This diversification strengthens the organization's market position, expands its growth potential, and helps retain customers by offering innovative and varied solutions.
