Metals and Minerals in Brazil: Challenges and Opportunities

August 23, 2025--Written by Renzo Castillo for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Brazil has consolidated itself as one of the most influential economies in Latin America and a key player in the global trade of raw materials. Within this structure, mining and steel production occupy a central place, both for their contribution to GDP and for their role in driving exports and strengthening Brazil's international competitiveness. The weight of its metals and minerals industry positions Brazil as a key player in global supply chains, particularly for iron ore, an essential ingredient in the steel industry and one of the most demanded resources worldwide. This strength has allowed Brazil to position itself as a strategic partner for major economies that consume steel and are developing their infrastructure.
