Brazil consortium market growth and evolution

Overview

The consortium market in Brazil is experiencing significant growth and evolving into a strategic tool for long-term financial and asset planning. In 2025, the system saw 5.16 million new memberships, a 15% increase over the previous year, with total credits traded reaching R$ 500 billion. By the end of the first half of 2026, the market reached a milestone of 13.36 million active participants. Within this expansion, the real estate consortium segment emerged as a major driver, moving into second place in the system behind light vehicles.

Recent data from the Brazilian Association of Consortium Administrators (ABAC) shows the upward trend continued through 2026. By August 2026, active participants reached 13.55 million, and commercialized credits totaled R$ 389.59 billion for the period between January and August, representing a 24.2% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This growth is partly attributed to high interest rates, specifically the Selic rate remaining at 13.75% per year, which makes traditional financing more expensive and drives consumers toward interest-free alternatives.

The market is increasingly attracting high-income individuals, entrepreneurs, and investors, shifting the modality toward “large-scale acquisition planning and wealth organization.” Financial institutions are now including consortiums in portfolios traditionally reserved for investment applications. However, industry leaders have noted a shortage of qualified professionals, with calls for mandatory certification to ensure consultants provide strategic financial planning rather than just selling quotas.
