Uma análise sobre o padrão de comércio bilateral brasil – estados unidos no período 2010 a 2023

Abstract

This paper analyzes bilateral trade relations between Brazil and the United States from 2010 to 2023, its specific characteristics and evolution over the years, as well as the influence of China's growth as a Brazilian economic partner in this scenario. To do this, it uses data of Brazil's total international trade, the main destinations of its exports and the main origins of its imports, also analyzes the composition of bilateral trade through the market-share behavior of the main products in bilateral trade with the States States, and the intrasectoral trade agenda in terms of technological intensity. The results point to a loss of relevance of the United States as a trading partner throughout the period, reinforcing a bigger focus of the Brazilian agenda towards commodities and Chinese demand for primary products. The United States still has a strategic importance as a Brazilian commercial partner, and there are still opportunities to be explored, and it is essential that Brazil seeks to expand its presence in different markets.
