In the ranking of the 3,441 products investigated by the IBGE´s Annual Survey of Industry - Product
(PIA Product), the first four (diesel fuel, iron ore, cars and gasoline) generated 9.7% of the revenue from industrial sales in 2014, which added up to R$2.2 trillion.

Among the 100 products with the highest revenue, the three products that increased their participation in the total industrial sales in 2014 in relation to 2013 were ethanol, air conditioners and aluminum. The three products that lost more participation were steel rebars, harvesters and steel coils and plates.

Still considering the 100 highest revenues, metal plates, fertilizers and ethanol were the products that gained more participation in the industrial sales compared with 2007. Pig iron, steel rebars and aluminum were those that lost more participation between 2007 and 2014.

As the major industrial product in Brazil, diesel fuel also led in the Northeast and Southeast, and ranked in the second position in the South. Iron ore and TV sets led in the North Region, whereas beef, soybean cake and ethanol were the major products in the Central-West. See here the publication of the PIA Product 2014.

PIA Product 2014 brings information on the sales of 3,441 products of the 41.2 thousand industrial enterprises with 30 and more employed persons and their 51.4 thousand local branches. The total sales of these products reached R$2.2 trillion in 2014. The sectors that mostly contributed to the industrial sales were: food products (15.2%), motor vehicles (10.4%), coke, petroleum products and biofuels (10.4%), chemicals (9.7%) and basic metals (6.3%).

Having sold R$75.1 billion and contributed with 3.5% of the total, diesel fuel remained as the leader in the ranking of the value of sales in 2014 (table below), followed by crude or processed iron ore (R$49.2 billion and 2.3% of the total). The first four products in this ranking accounted for 9.7% of the value of industrial sales in 2014.

Compared with 2013, the industrial sectors that lost more participation in the total sales were motor vehicles, trailers and bodies (-1.8 percentage points - p.p.); quarrying of metallic minerals (-0.6 p.p.); basic metals (-0.2 p.p.); machinery and equipment (-0.2 p.p.) and tobacco products (-0.1 p.p.). The sectors that increased the participation in this period were: coke, petroleum products and biofuels (0.6 p.p.); quarrying of petroleum and natural gas (0.5 p.p.); beverages (0.4 p.p.); food products (0.3p.p.); and chemicals (0.3 p.p.).

Ethanol, air conditioners and aluminum were the products that gained more participation in the industrial sales in relation to 2013.

In 2014, the 100 industrial products leading the value of sales generated a revenue of
R$1.11 trillion or 51.6% of the total revenue of the industrial enterprises with 30 and more employed persons. Among these 100 products, those that gained more positions in the ranking in relation to 2013 were: ethyl alcohol, which changed from the the 164th to the 80th position; air conditioners (from the 118th to the 75th position); aluminum can for packaging (from the 96th to the 71st); aluminum oxide, which changed from the 66th to the 42nd position (table below).

The five products that lost more positions since 2013 were: steel rebars (from the 60th to the 90th position); harvesters, (from the 44th to the 65th position); galvanized steel coils and plates (from the 72nd to the 91st position); new tires for buses and trucks (from the 68th to the 84th position); and chassis with engine for buses (from the 77th to the 89th position).

Production of diesel fuel stands out in 3 of 5 Major Regions

In 2014, the three products that registered the highest participation in the revenue of industrial sales in the North Region were crude iron ore (12.7%), TV sets (8.2%) and soft drinks (5.8%). In the Northeast, the three highlights were diesel fuel (5.0%), fuel oil, except diesel (3.9%) and gasoline (3.0%). In the Southeast, the three leaders were diesel fuel (3.7%), crude petroleum oil (3.2%) and crude iron ore (2.6%). In the South Region, the leaders were cars (3.6%), diesel fuel (3.5%) and frozen poultry and giblets (2.4%). Finally, the three leaders in the Central-West were fresh or chilled beef (11.5%), soybean cake (9.5%) and ethanol (6.7%).

Metal plates, fertilizers and ethanol were the products that gained more participation in the industrial sales between 2007 and 2014.

Among the 100 industrial products with the highest net revenue of sales in 2014, those that gained more positions since 2007 were: plates, coils and other metal laminates cut in any form (from the 1416th to the 77th position); mineral or chemical manure and fertilizers, phosphate (from the 718th to the 56th position); denatured ethyl alcohol (from the 455th to the 80th position); biodiesel and its mixtures, not containing or containing less than 70%, in weight, of petroleum oil or shale oil (from the 381st to the 61st position). The table below shows the 10 biggest gains in position:

Still considering the 100 highest net revenues of sales, the industrial products and services that lost more participation between 2007 and 2014 were: pig iron (from the 31st to the 79th position); carbon steel rebars (from the 44th to the 90th position); unwrought non-alloy aluminum (from the 30th to the 64th position); refined soybean oil (from the 33th to the 60th position). The 10 biggest losses in position are in the table below:
