Research Conducted by the CNI Shows That the Technology Industries, or Industry 4.0, Responded Well to the Pandemic Compared to Other Sectors
The technology industries, also known as Industry 4.0, responded well to the crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to data from the CNI’s research. Compared to before the pandemic, Industry 4.0 is more profitable and maintains or even increases the employment of workers. Sales outlooks for 2021 are even better.

The research was conducted by the FSB Pesquisa Institute in the last week of October to mid-November and shows that 54% of industries that use one to three digital technologies in production generate profits equal to or greater than the pre-pandemic period.
Another parameter that was also influenced is the hiring in the sector last month, compared to the pre-pandemic period. 30% of employees in industries that adopted three digital technologies increased. In the same comparison, the participation in employment growth in traditional industries is relatively small, accounting for 21% of the company.

How much does it cost to live with dignity in Brazil? A study found that in all 79 regions analyzed, the necessary salary was above the minimum of R$ 1,621. In São Paulo, a family of four needs R$ 6,155 per month.
The study indicated that, in digital technology, the largest share of companies expanding jobs is 37%, and these are companies that adopt advanced robotics. There is a fear that Industry 4.0 technologies may impact unemployment in the country.
The CNI’s Industrial Policy Manager, João Emílio Gonçalves, says that “Every moment in history of technological changes has been linked to the fear of a significant reduction in the use of labor.”
Vinícius Fornari, one of the people responsible for the research, says that compared to traditional manufacturing, the more favorable performance achieved by Industry 4.0 during the pandemic is largely due to the unique characteristics of the digital industry, as the production of the digital industry is more autonomous.
