ICEI - Industrial Sectors
The ICEI, as a precursor index of industrial performance, signals changes in industrial production trends. The survey that gathers the necessary information to the construction of the ICEI is made in conjunction with the Industrial Survey and the Construction Industry Survey. The ICEI – Industrial Sectors displays results from the mining and quarrying, construction and manufacturing industries, as well as their sectors. The publication also makes confidence indexes available for the three company sizes (small, medium and large) and for the five geographic regions of Brazil.
ICEI rises for much of the industry, but lack of confidence is still widespread
The ICEI recorded an increase for most survey segments between August and September 2025. However, even with the mostly positive variations, the perception of a lack of confidence predominates among business owners. The ICEI for three of Brazil's five regions, across all company sizes, and across 27 of the 29 sectors surveyed indicate a lack of business confidence.
