Brazil’s industrial production growth slowed sharply in February 2026, rising 0.9% month-over-month, down from a 1.8% increase in January 2026, according to data updated on 2 April 2026. The latest figure indicates that while output is still expanding, the pace of industrial recovery has weakened compared with the start of the year.
On a month-over-month basis, the January reading of 1.8% reflected a stronger rebound from the previous month, but February’s 0.9% gain shows that momentum has cooled. The comparison is based on changes in industrial production each month relative to the immediately preceding month.
