Brazil has the second-largest manufacturing sector in the Americas. Accounting for 28.5 percent of GDP, Brazil's industries range from automobiles, steel and petrochemicals to computers, aircraft, and [[consumer durable]]s. With increased economic stability provided by the [[Plano Real]], Brazilian and multinational businesses have invested heavily in new equipment and technology, a large proportion of which has been purchased from U.S. firms.

The [[World Bank]] lists the main producing countries each year, based on the total production value. According to the 2019 list, Brazil has the 13th most valuable industry in the world (US$173.6 billion). In the [[Americas]], it is second only to the United States (2nd place) and Mexico (12th place).<ref>{{cite web| url = https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NV.IND.MANF.CD?most_recent_value_desc=true| title = Manufacturing, added value (current US $)}}</ref> In the [[food industry]], in 2019, Brazil was the second largest exporter of processed foods in the world.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://alimentosprocessados.com.br/industria-na-sociedade-brasileira.php|title=Alimentos Processados {{pipe}} A indústria de alimentos e bebidas na sociedade brasileira atual|website=alimentosprocessados.com.br}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://g1.globo.com/economia/noticia/2020/02/18/faturamento-da-industria-de-alimentos-cresceu-67percent-em-2019.ghtml|title=Faturamento da indústria de alimentos cresceu 6,7% em 2019|website=G1|date=18 February 2020 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/economia/noticia/2020-02/industria-de-alimentos-e-bebidas-faturaram-r-6999-bi-em-2019|title=Indústria de alimentos e bebidas faturou R$ 699,9 bi em 2019|date=18 February 2020|website=Agência Brasil}}</ref> In 2016, the country was the 2nd largest producer of [[Pulp (paper)|pulp]] in the world and the 8th producer of [[paper]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://valor.globo.com/empresas/noticia/2020/02/21/producao-nacional-de-celulose-cai-66percent-em-2019-aponta-iba.ghtml|title=Produção nacional de celulose cai 6,6% em 2019, aponta Ibá|website=Valor Econômico|date=21 February 2020 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.celuloseonline.com.br/sabe-qual-e-o-estado-brasileiro-que-mais-produz-madeira-nao-e-sao-paulo/|title=Sabe qual é o estado brasileiro que mais produz Madeira?|date=9 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://g1.globo.com/espirito-santo/noticia/sao-mateus-e-o-6-maior-produtor-de-madeira-em-tora-para-papel-e-celulose-no-pais-diz-ibge.ghtml|title=São Mateus é o 6º maior produtor de madeira em tora para papel e celulose no país, diz IBGE|website=G1|date=28 September 2017 }}</ref> In the [[footwear industry]], in 2019, Brazil ranked 4th among world producers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://g1.globo.com/sp/ribeirao-preto-franca/noticia/2019/07/14/industrias-calcadistas-em-franca-sp-registram-queda-de-40percent-nas-vagas-de-trabalho-em-6-anos.ghtml|title=Indústrias calçadistas em Franca, SP registram queda de 40% nas vagas de trabalho em 6 anos|website=G1|date=14 July 2019 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.fenac.com.br/producao-de-calcados-deve-crescer-3-em-2019|title=Fenac -

Brazil has a diverse and sophisticated services industry as well. During the early 1990s, the banking sector accounted for as much as 16 percent of the GDP. Although undergoing a major overhaul, Brazil's financial services industry provides local businesses with a wide range of products and is attracting numerous new entrants, including U.S. financial firms. On 8 May 2008, the São Paulo Stock Exchange ([[Bovespa]]) and the São Paulo-based Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange (BM&F) merged, creating [[BM&F Bovespa]], one of the largest stock exchanges in the world. Also, the previously monopolistic reinsurance sector is being opened up to third-party companies.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/dinheiro/ult91u113719.shtml|title=Government breaks reinsurance monopoly, discards privatization (in Portuguese)|access-date=29 April 2008}}</ref> {{As of|2005|alt=As of}} 31 December 2007, there were an estimated 21,304,000 broadband lines in Brazil. Over 75 percent of the broadband lines were via [[digital subscriber line|DSL]] and 10 percent via cable modems. Proven mineral resources are extensive. Large iron and manganese reserves are important sources of industrial raw materials and export earnings. Deposits of nickel, tin, chromite, uranium, bauxite, beryllium, copper, lead, tungsten, zinc, gold, and other minerals are exploited. High-quality [[Coking coal|coking-grade coal]] required in the steel industry is in short supply.

In the last years, the [[Arms industry|defence industry]] in Brazil achieved prominence with exports of more than US$1 billion per year and sales abroad of high-technology products like the transport jet [[Embraer C-390 Millennium]], the [[Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano]], a light [[attack aircraft]], the 6×6 armoured personnel carrier [[VBTP-MR Guarani]] and others armaments like pistols and rifles by the company [[Taurus Armas]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gov.br/defesa/pt-br/centrais-de-conteudo/noticias/exportacoes-de-produtos-de-defesa-somam-us-1-1-bilhao-este-ano-e-superam-em-mais-de-60-o-total-do-ano-passado |title=Exportações de produtos de defesa somam US$ 1,1 bilhão este ano e superam em mais de 60% o total do ano passado|date=26 September 2023}}</ref><ref name="DF21">{{Cite web |url=https://www.taurusri.com.br/Download.aspx?Arquivo=KO2kCzyUcYSN3TAmYZtsHw== |title=2021 Management Report |date=March 15, 2022 |accessdate=July 29, 2022 |publisher=Taurus IR |website= |pages=3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 23, 41, 78 |language=en}}</ref> [[Embraer]] is one the world's top 100 [[defense contractors]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Top 100 {{!}} Defense News |url=https://people.defensenews.com/top-100/ |access-date=2023-07-25 |website= Defensenews.com}}</ref>
