Análise do desempenho da indústria de fabricação de máquinas e equipamentos: Um estudo de 2010 a 2020

Abstract

The machinery and equipment industry is of utmost importance for the economic development of a country. These capital goods are used by various companies for the production of other products, as well as being employed in strategic sectors such as infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, and energy. In this context, it is highly relevant to understand the performance of this sector over time in order to evaluate its role in the economy and identify any bottlenecks. A methodology based on the collection and analysis of statistical data will be employed, along with a literature review that will provide context to the findings. The data from the databases will revolve around the machinery and equipment segment between the years 2010 and 2020, aiming to identify key trends, challenges, and opportunities. Indicators such as production, the industry's contribution to GDP, Industrial Transformation Value, and sector competitiveness at the international level will be considered. Between 2010 and 2020, the machinery and equipment segment exhibited low performance due to various problems. The global economic crisis triggered by the 2008 financial crisis led to a reduction in demand for equipment as companies scaled back their investments. Furthermore, decreased infrastructure investments and political instability negatively affected the sector. Lack of clarity in government policies and regulatory uncertainties also discouraged investments in machinery and equipment. Slow technological advancement in the sector, along with credit difficulties for companies, contributed to the low performance. Additionally, intense competition from foreign manufacturers and changes in consumption patterns played a significant role. These factors collectively resulted in a challenging environment for the machinery and equipment segment during this period. Given this context, it is crucial to analyze the segment's performance in recent years in order to identify opportunities for its growth and future development.
