Brazil Automobile Industry
Brazil is one of the top ten automobile manufacturing countries in the world
by volume, with a relatively large consumer base. In 2006, the automobile
production (excluding motorcycles and agricultural machineries) showed a
growth of 3.2% over 2005. The automobile sales in Brazil are highly dominated
by the passenger cars and motorcycles. But despite the high sales of passenger
cars in Brazil during 2006, there are still bright chances of growth in this
segment as the penetration rate per thousand population of this segment is
still low. This rising sales of automobiles is well supported by the easy
financing packages offered by the financing bodies and improving road
connectivity in rural and sub-urban areas of Brazil.
Among all types of vehicles, flex fuel vehicles are widely accepted by the
Brazilians due to their multi-choice of refueling system. Flex fuel vehicles,
with supportive government regulations on biofuel use, witnessed a rapid
growth in 2006.
Brazilian automobile industry faced a declined exports due to appreciation of
Brazilian currency, but on the other side, it boosted the import of
automobiles in 2006 as prices were relatively lower than 2005.
Key Findings

Million in 2010.
- With the rising number of flex fuel automobiles on Brazilian roads,
ethanol producers of the country are expected to expand their ethanol
production base to 442,000 Barrels/Day in 2010.
