Brazil Metal Processing Sector Report 2018/2022

With an output of 34.4mn tonnes, Brazil was the world’s ninth-largest crude steel manufacturer and its fifth-biggest net steel exporter in 2017. The country also plays a central role in the global non-ferrous metals processing sector, being the largest primary aluminium producer in Latin America (ninth in the world), the fourth-biggest refined copper manufacturer in Latin America (24th globally), and the undisputed global leader in terms of recycling of aluminium packaging, having reprocessed more than 97% of all aluminium cans sold between 2010 and 2016. The large mineral potential of Brazil was the key factor behind the creation and growth of the leading companies in the metal processing sector – most of them vertically integrated domestic entities with large-scale mining activities. This potential has also attracted to the country significant investment from global metallurgy groups.
