Some states suffered more than others, such as Ceará, which recorded a drop of 21.8%, followed by Rio Grande do Sul with 20.1% and Santa Catarina with 17.9%.

It is the first time since the beginning of the survey with 15 locations (2012) that there has been a decline in all surveyed areas. Not even the truck drivers’ strike in May 2018 surpassed such a scenario.

The states with the largest declines, after Ceará, Rio Grande do Sul, and Santa Catarina, were Pará (-12.8%), Amazonas (-11.0%), and the Northeast Region (-9.3%). In São Paulo, the percentage was 5.4. The state concentrates more than one-third of the national industry (34%).

Below are the states and their respective values:

Amazonas: -11%
Pará: -12.8%
Northeast Region: -9.3%
Ceará: -21.8%
Pernambuco: -7.2%
Bahia: -5%
Minas Gerais: -1.2%
Espírito Santo: -6.2%
Rio de Janeiro: -1.3%
São Paulo: -5.4
Paraná: -4.9%
Santa Catarina: -17.9%
Rio Grande do Sul: -20.1%
Mato Grosso: -4.1%
Goiás: -2.8%
Brazil Average: -9.1%

The analysts’ forecast for industrial production this year is a decline of 3%.
