The industry employed 8,8 million people in 2014.
The Annual Industrial Survey (PIA), released this Friday, the 24th, by IBGE, shows that in 2014, the extractive and manufacturing sectors employed 8,8 million people and had net sales revenue of R$ 2,8 trillion, an average of R$ 8,4 million per company; the survey also shows that three sectors led the ranking in terms of participation in the value of industrial transformation: food product manufacturing, with 15,3% of the total; followed by the manufacture of petroleum products and biofuels (9,4%) and the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and bodies (7,3%).
Nielmar de Oliveira, from Agência Brasil - In 2014, Brazil had a total of 334,8 companies in the extractive and manufacturing sectors, employing 8,8 million people and with net sales revenue of R$ 2,8 trillion, an average of R$ 8,4 million per company. The data comes from the Annual Industrial Survey (PIA) released today (24) by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and indicates that, in 2014, R$ 216,3 billion was invested in the sector, with personnel expenses reaching R$ 416 billion.
However, research shows that between 2013 and 2014, the percentage of these companies' participation in the Brazilian industrial sector, although still higher, shrank slightly, from 68,5% to 67,7% – a decrease of 0,08 percentage points. The survey indicates that the total net revenue of industrial companies reached R$ 2,8 trillion, led by these companies with 500 or more employees.
The data indicates that the sum of sales of industrial products and services (the gross value of production) totaled R$ 2,7 trillion, while the sum of the cost of industrial operations (intermediate consumption) was R$ 1,9 trillion, which led to an added value of R$ 783,1 billion.
In 2014, three sectors led the ranking in terms of share of the value of industrial transformation, headed by the manufacture of food products, with 15,3% of the total; followed by the manufacture of coke (fuel), petroleum products and biofuels (9,4%) and the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and bodies (7,3%).
Raw material
The Annual Industrial Survey found that raw material consumption accounted for 40,5% of total costs and expenses in the extractive and manufacturing industries in 2014, reaching approximately R$ 3 trillion. However, while maintaining the largest percentage in the cost and expense structure, these expenses fell by 1,1 percentage points compared to the 41,6% of costs and expenses recorded in 2013.
Personnel expenses closed the year at 13,9%, a practically stable result compared to 2013, which was 14%. The cost of goods sold showed a lower share compared to the previous year: 6,7% in 2014, versus 7,2% in 2013.
The figures released by IBGE, which provide a comprehensive overview of the extractive and manufacturing industries, indicate that fuel consumption and electricity purchases totaled R$ 69,2 billion (2,3% of the total) in 2014, while payments for services provided by third parties and various expenses for the maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment reached R$ 95,5 billion, equivalent to 3,2% of the total. These categories maintained the same percentages as in 2013.
In 2014, companies with 500 or more employees continued to account for the largest share of total industry costs and expenses, representing R$ 2,1 trillion of costs and expenses, or 70,2% of the total, remaining stable compared to 2013 (70,5%).
Investments
Of the total R$ 216,2 billion invested in industrial companies in 2014, R$ 209,8 billion was invested by companies with 30 or more employees and R$ 6,5 billion (3,0%) by companies with up to 29 employees. Among companies with 30 or more employees, the highlight, as in 2013, was industrial machinery and equipment, which totaled R$ 91,6 billion in investments.
Investments in land and building acquisitions, however, decreased in 2014 compared to 2013, falling from 13,6% to 15,7% between the two periods.
Food products
Food products continued to be the activity with the largest share of the total value of the country's extractive and manufacturing industries, which in 2014 totaled R$ 1,1 trillion. Of this total, food product manufacturing accounted for 15,3%; coke, petroleum products and biofuel manufacturing (9,4%); manufacturing of motor vehicles, trailers and bodies (7,3%); manufacturing of chemical products (6,9%); oil and natural gas extraction (5,9%); metallic mineral extraction (5,6%); and metallurgy (4,8%).
The manufacture of machinery and equipment accounted for 4,8% of the total value of the two industrial sectors; the manufacture of non-metallic mineral products (3,7%); and the manufacture of rubber and plastic products (3,7%).
