However, April's figures show a deceleration, with a negative growth rate indicating the sector's struggles to maintain the momentum seen in previous months.
Released on June 3, 2025, the updated data suggests potential headwinds for Brazil's industrial economy. As the country navigates these challenges, analysts and stakeholders will be watching closely to understand the implications of this decline on Brazil's broader economic landscape.
