Manufacturing Sector Rises in Five of Six Indicators in November 2023, but Capacity Utilization Declined. CNI.

Throughout 2023, the industrial sector has shown signs of recovery, undergoing a process of rebound after the impacts of the pandemic. The positive numbers released by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) reflect the strengthening of the industrial sector, demonstrating that the Brazilian industry is in constant evolution and overcoming challenges.

The national manufacturing has been essential for economic recovery and job creation, directly impacting the growth of the industrial sector. With advances in technology and a drive for greater efficiency, the industry has proven increasingly prepared to face the challenges of both the domestic and international markets.

Increase in Real Wage Mass and Average Industrial Earnings

The industry saw a significant increase of 2.8% in the real wage mass and 2.4% in the real average earnings from October to November 2023, disregarding seasonal effects.

Challenges Faced by the Industrial Sector in 2023

The CNI’s Economic Analysis Manager, Marcelo Azevedo, highlights that the industry faced significant challenges in 2023, with high interest rates standing out as one of the main issues. Therefore, the mentioned point increase is far from representing the full recovery of the sector.

However, the indices of real revenue and hours worked recorded growth in November, after two months of decline. Nevertheless, they also showed a decrease compared to November 2022 and in the accumulated data for 2023 up to November.

Furthermore, Capacity Utilization (UCI) experienced a significant drop from October to November, decreasing by 0.6 percentage points, reaching 78%. This percentage is 2.5 percentage points lower than the figure recorded in November 2022.

Difficulties in Reversing the Critical Situation in Industry

These data reveal that it is premature to speak of a reversal in the complex scenario currently faced by the industry.

Industrial Indicators: Short-Term Evolution of Industrial Activity

Since 1992, the monthly Industrial Indicators survey has tracked the short-term evolution of industrial activity, especially in the manufacturing industry, through variables such as revenue, employment, compensation, and capacity utilization.

Large industries from various sectors of the manufacturing industry in different states of Brazil are consulted for this comprehensive survey. The complete report is available for consultation below:

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

On the coast of China, fishermen received an official reward after finding 10 foreign underwater devices capable of “stealing secrets” in just two years, showing that the silent war for the seabed has already reached the nets of those who rely on fishing.

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Brazilian company breaks industrial machines purposefully in a 10,000 m² warehouse in São Paulo and sold the idea for R$ 4 billion.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

1,720 meters beneath the Alps, workers have been excavating for 15 years what will be the world’s longest continuous railway tunnel — 64 kilometers of rock between Austria and Italy that will reduce a journey from 80 minutes to just 25.

Amid international war, rising diesel prices, and a lack of workers, pork enters a new scenario in Brazil that could curb consumption, raise prices, and change the dynamics of the sector in the coming months.
