The Brazilian Mining Industry - Market Opportunities and Entry Strategies, Analyses and Forecasts to 2015
BRICdata, Nov 2011, Pages: 168
The overall rise in consumption of mineral resources will drive the growth of the Brazilian mining industry. With estimated production of 415 million tons of minerals in 2010, the Brazilian mining industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.41% during the forecast period, to produce 724 million tons of minerals by 2015. In the Brazilian mining industry, iron ore is significant to the metallic mineral category while the non-metallic mineral category is dominated by kaolin and rock phosphate. Iron ore accounts for 75% of the county’s total mining exports and China represents the largest importer.
Brazil’s growing economy and increased infrastructure and investment in mining will create demand for more durable, safer and reliable mining equipment during the forecast period. This will create growth opportunities for both foreign and domestic companies in the next five years. Major sporting events such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympics will add to the factors that drive overall demand for mining and construction equipment.
Over-dependence from Brazil’s iron ore sector on China represents a threat to the Brazilian mining industry. Events such as a currency revaluation or housing market crash in China could result in a significant reduction in demand for Brazilian iron ore.
