In a study published by the industry portal, called Investments in Industry 2022-2023, It was pointed out that, for the third consecutive year, large companies in the manufacturing industry recorded a reduction in the percentage of investment planned for the following year. According to the research, in 2023, 68% of these companies indicate they have investment plans, a drop compared to 2022 (75%) and 2021 (82%). According to the survey, most companies highlight improving the production process as the main objective of their investments, representing around 38% of these companies’ plans for 2023.
The report, which can be reviewed at industry portal, compared investments made in 2022 with those in 2021, revealing an increase in the percentage of companies that actually invested, going from 79% to 85%. However, looking at the results, there was a decrease in the proportion of companies that were able to carry out investments as planned, falling from 62% to 50%.
The report presents the most cited reasons and obstacles regarding investments. Among them are the uncertainties regarding the Brazilian economy and the increase in input costs, which, as pointed out in the document, compromised the resources available for investments.
The research highlights that, although 85% of large companies stated that they had made investments in 2022, only half of them managed to implement their plans as initially planned. This discrepancy is, according to the report, attributed to economic uncertainties and input costs, which influenced investment decisions. The report also points out that since 2014, the percentage reached in 2022 has not exceeded the 80% mark.
José Antônio Valente, director of the equipment rental franchise Franquias Trans Obra states that the influence of economic uncertainties and the increase in input costs on the investment decisions of large companies in the manufacturing industry is evident, as highlighted in the report. “The reduction for the third consecutive year in the percentage of planned investment reflects the sector’s caution. However, overcoming these challenges requires a strategic and adaptive approach to ensure success in implementing established plans.”
Still on the published report, which can be checked through the link at the beginning of the article, it was pointed out that the focus of investments was concentrated on machines and equipment, covering the acquisition, maintenance and updating of these assets. When analyzing the document, it is noted that this strategic choice reveals the importance attributed by companies to modernization and operational efficiency. The trend indicates that, according to the study, despite the uncertainties and challenges, companies seek to strengthen their production capabilities through investments aimed at equipment essential to their operations.
