Machinery Industry expected to grow 8,2% in 2025, says Abimaq

The Brazilian machinery and equipment industry had a turnover of R$67,5 billion between January and March this year, 15,2% higher than the same period last year. The data was released by the Brazilian Machinery and Equipment Industry Association (Abimaq) at the 30th edition of Agrishow. According to the entity, the sector should end the year with an 8,2% expansion in sales volume compared to 2024. 

According to Pedro Estevão Bastos de Oliveira, president of the Abimaq Agricultural Machinery and Implements Sector Chamber, in relation to agricultural machinery and equipment, growth was 13% between January and March 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, due to “the improvement in the climate scenario in Brazil, which allowed for a good harvest, with increased productivity. On the other hand, maintaining the basic interest rate at a high level imposes difficulties for the sector”.

For Estevão, the volume of resources from the next Safra Plan and the interest rates that will be set by the Federal Government are a point of attention for the sector. “It will have to be reasonable, without high interest rates, otherwise we could have a very large number of order cancellations. But regardless of all this, we understand that we will have a positive year”, he states.
