Brazil logistics and transportation sector challenges
Overview
Brazil's logistics and transportation sectors are addressing significant economic and regulatory challenges. Industry representatives have highlighted that logistics costs account for approximately 15.5% of the nation's GDP, with freight transport alone representing between 9% and 13%. To mitigate these costs and improve infrastructure, there is advocacy for legislative changes, such as Bill No. 2373/2025, to update rules for concessions and public-private partnerships to ensure greater legal security.
Discussions among industry leaders have expanded to include tax reform and the impact of the 2026 elections on the business environment. Additionally, there is a growing focus on urban mobility as public transport usage has dropped from 50% to 32% between 2017 and 2024. Campaigns are now advocating for improved financing models and lower fares to encourage a return to collective rail and metro systems.
