According to data from the USDA, Brazil was the second largest producer and consumer of biofuels in the world during 2021. The country is among the global pioneers in biofuels development and adoption, with the introduction of flex-fuel (dual-fuel ethanol and petrol) vehicles as early as 2003. Moreover, mandatory blending of fossil fuels with biofuels has underpinned the growth of the sector ever since their introduction in the second half of the 2000s decade. Brazil’s massive agricultural sector also plays a key part in the development of the sector, with the country being among the largest producers of raw materials for biofuels, such as sugarcane, soybean, maize and animal fats.

Plastics have become an inseparable part of modern lifestyle since their formation. Plastics are used for packaging, building and construction, automotive, consumer goods, electronics, and medical devices. To make plastics usable and to increase their processability, plastic additives are required to modify polymer resin. This helps in enhancing several characteristics that manifold the value of plastic materials. Various types of additives such as flame retardants, heat stabilizers, lubricants, and slip additives, blowing agents, antistatic agents, antioxidants, and light stabilizers are used for the modification of polymer resins.

Adhesives are materials applied between two substrates (both metallic and nonmetallic substances) for gluing or bonding purposes. Today, adhesives have replaced bolts and rivets in several applications such as buildings, automobiles, and aerospace. Adhesives provide scope for innovating the design and shape of products. They are widely used in the automobile industry to make lightweight and fully efficient vehicles.

Automotive lubricants are fluidic substances with the primary function of decreasing friction between surfaces of automotive parts that come into contact. Also, automotive lubricants reduce energy wastage caused by friction and are highly effective in cleaning, cooling, and protecting metal components from corrosion and rust, and many other challenges associated with the engine, equipment, and machinery operations. For example, automotive engine oil used in cars and heavyduty and other vehicles is formulated for specific use in automotive engines. A good quality engine oil is critical for the proper operation of an automotive engine as it prevents damage and extends its service life.

Precision agriculture is defined as the practices adopted to make farming accurate and precise. The techniques may include the use of artificial intelligence, a wide array of technologies such as sensors, drones, robotics, automated hardware, telematics, software, and autonomous vehicles. For instance, GPS is used to receive location data from satellites and control the farmer’s tractor based on coordinates of the field. The segment covers an in-depth analysis of the drivers, restraints, and opportunities in the precision agriculture market.

In 2019, the domestic sales of heavy vehicles registered a third consecutive annual expansion due to the recovery of the Brazilian economy following the 2015-2016 recession. Output fell slightly by 0.1% y/y, while exports were down by 34.6% y/y in value and by 42.1% y/y in volume due to lower sales to Argentina. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to two-digit annual falls in output, domestic sales and exports of heavy vehicles. However, in 2021, the regional economic recovery led to a strong rebound in the demand for heavy vehicles. Domestic sales increased by 37.8% y/y in 2021, to 142,741 units, while export volume rose by 49.4% y/y to 34,934 units. This was accompanied by a solid 61% y/y expansion in heavy vehicle output, to 185,762 units. Output and domestic sales reported the largest volume for the 2016-2021 period, while exports reached the largest volume since 2018. Trucks accounted for the bulk of production, sales and exports in the heavy vehicle segment, being the main growth driver in 2021 as well.

The Indonesian automotive market is highly concentrated, with a few players accounting for the bulk of sales. In 2021, the top three brands controlled 63% of new motor vehicle sales (PCs and CVs), while the top five accounted for 84%. Japanese manufacturers are dominant both in terms of production and sales as they enjoy strong brand awareness and have built extensive dealership networks across the country. In addition, most of them have local plants and benefit from Indonesia’s relatively cheap workforce and low taxes, which decrease their production costs. The European brands have negligible market share, as they are positioned mainly in the premium segment. Chinese automakers have pledged to aggressively enter the market, but, so far, their penetration has been limited.
