Target 650 Billion: Brazil Becomes a Strategic Pillar for Italian Exports


Italy has set an ambitious course for the next three years: surpassing the 650 billion euro mark in exports by 2026. In this global expansion scenario, as reported by the latest analyses on Jornal Italia and SACE data, Brazil emerges as one of the absolute priority markets, standing alongside demographic and economic giants such as India and Morocco.

The relationship between Italy and Brazil is undergoing a phase of profound evolution. This is not merely a matter of historical and cultural proximity, but a convergence of economic interests that sees the Italian National System engaged in a strategy to diversify its export markets. Brazil, with its vast industrial base and growing demand for quality, represents the natural destination for Italian excellence.

According to projections by SACE—the insurance-financial group specialized in supporting internationalization—the sectors expected to drive this growth are:

  • Industrial Machinery: Brazilian demand for high-precision machinery and industrial automation solutions remains the core business of bilateral relations.
  • Agrifood: Made in Italy food products continue to gain market share, driven by the search for premium products by the Brazilian middle class.
  • Transport Equipment: A rapidly expanding sector, linked to both infrastructure and sustainable mobility.

In an international context characterized by geopolitical uncertainty and volatility in traditional markets, Italy’s strategy focuses on the strength of new partners. The decision to invest in Brazil responds to the need for solid and dynamic markets capable of absorbing a Made in Italy offering that increasingly focuses on innovation and sustainability.

For Italian companies, the opportunity is clear: Brazil is not just a priority market on paper, but an ecosystem ready to welcome Italian investments, technologies, and products, consolidating a commercial axis that promises to be among the most profitable of the next decade.
