Analysis Publication date: December 2008, Total 117 pages, 50 figures/charts and
1 table.
Composites industry in Brazil is the largest in Latin America and presently is witnessing
good growth after some years of slowdown thanks to the recovery of the automotive industry and increased
urbanization. Brazil traditionally has a strong manufacturing base and higher per
capita income. As a production hub in the entire Latin America, one can find the
presence of all the global players in the Brazilian composites industry - Reichhold,
Ashland, Owens Corning, Huntsman, Azko Nobel, 3M in the material side along with
the Brazilian biggies like Elekeiroz, Embrapol, Cromitec, Fiacbras. It is interesting
to note the market dynamics created by the OEMs and their supply chain to achieve
greater efficiency and longer life-cycle value. The newer applications of the composites
material in Brazil and penetration in new areas are crucial to the future growth
of the industry. Brazil composites industry is not a new one, the
bigger question is where is it headed for under a vibrant and increasingly globalized
Brazilian economy.
Brazilian composites industry is estimated to reach USD $4 billion
in 2013. The composite industry in Brazil is characterized by large number of small-sized
players in molding and fabrication and a moderate number of materials suppliers
that are mostly global players. Though Brazil has a good manufacturing base and
location advantage, very little is being exported in neighboring countries either
as raw materials or finished composites products. It is mostly due to low per-capita
composites consumption in these countries. Construction and automotive being the
major composites user, the industry is crucially dependent on the overall economic
growth in Brazil. Robust economic growth, low level of inflation, strong export
performance, falling interest rates have facilitated steady growth of the composites
industry. The growth rate was particularly high in 2007 due to record
number of vehicles production. However, the global economic crisis has affected
Brazilian economy too and is expected to moderate the growth rate in key composites
application sector. Long term growth prospects remain bright for the industry in
Brazil given increased expenditure in infrastructure development, emerging application
areas and greater composite consumption.
This report takes a long-look at the composites industry in Brazil, the key sectors
and their growth complete with the drivers and challenges, the market trend and
dynamics in the industry and also its material supply chain and the future outlook.
