Highlights
- In 2024, the top ten industrial products accounted for 20.9% of the industry's net sales revenue.
- The ranking was led by crude petroleum oils (5.3%), followed by iron ores (3.0%) and diesel fuel (2.8%).
- Total net sales revenue for the industry reached approximately R$ 5.3 trillion.
- The Southeast Region accounted for 55.3% of industrial revenue, followed by the South (20.5%), Northeast (9.8%), North (7.4%), and Central-West (6.9%).

The net sales revenue of Brazilian industry reached R$ 5.3 trillion in 2024, a result driven by the production of approximately 3,400 industrial products and services across more than 42,000 local branches. These data come from the Annual Survey of Industry – Product (PIA-Product), conducted by the IBGE.
The survey covered branches belonging to approximately 34,800 industrial companies and provides a detailed picture of the country's production structure, making it possible to identify the leading products in terms of revenue generation.
In 2024, crude petroleum oils remained the country's top industrial product, generating R$ 278.2 billion in net sales revenue—equivalent to 5.3% of the national total. This marked the third consecutive year the product held the top spot.
Next in the ranking were iron ores and concentrates, with net revenue of R$ 159.5 billion (a 3.0% share of the total), followed by diesel fuel, with R$ 149.8 billion in revenue (a 2.8% share). Other notable products in terms of total share included fresh or chilled beef (2.0%) and motor gasoline or for other uses, excluding aviation (1.7%).
Combined, the top ten products accounted for 20.9% of the industry's net sales revenue.

Concentração regional da atividade industrial
A análise regional indica concentração da atividade industrial no Sudeste, que respondeu por 55,3% da receita líquida de vendas em 2024. Além de ser a região mais industrializada do País, no Sudeste estão localizadas as maiores bacias petrolíferas do País (de Santos e de Campos), as principais refinarias de petróleo e o quadrilátero ferrífero em Minas Gerais.
“Como destaque, podemos citar o Sudeste. A região possui três produtos principais, dentre os 3,4 mil: o óleo bruto de petróleo, o óleo diesel e o minério de ferro. Esses bens corresponderam a 15,1% do total das receitas do Sudeste em 2024”, afirmou o gerente da Pesquisa, Marcelo Miranda.
A participação de cada um dos destaques do Sudeste na receita da região foram: óleos brutos de petróleo (9,2% do total da região), óleo diesel (3,0%) e minérios de ferro (2,9%).
A Região Sul, segunda no ranking de participação no total, representou 20,5% da receita industrial, com destaque para óleo diesel (3,3%), carnes e miudezas de aves congeladas (3,0%) e fertilizantes NPK (2,1%).
No Nordeste, responsável por 9,8% da receita nacional, os principais produtos foram óleo diesel (4,5%) e gasolina automotiva (3,1%). Já a Região Norte, com participação de 7,4%, apresentou elevada concentração na extração de minerais metálicos (18,2%), além de carnes bovinas (5,3%) e telefones celulares (5,2%).
Por sua vez, o Centro-Oeste respondeu por 6,9% da receita industrial, com destaque para produtos da agroindústria, como carnes de bovinos (11,4%), derivados da soja (6,1%) e etanol (5,6%).
