Bras\u00edlia \u2013 Revenues of the electric and electronic device industry should grow by 12% in 2010 in comparison with 2009. According to the projection of the Brazilian Electric and Electronic Industry Association (Abinee), the sector should post 125,643 billion reals (US$ 71.5 billion) in revenues this year. In 2009, revenues totalled 111.839 billion reals (US$ 63.6 billion). The forecast was culled from the survey The Electric and Electronic Industry in 2020 \u2013 Detailing and Proposal Updating<\/i>, disclosed today (5th) by the Abinee.<\/p>\n
The fields that grew the most were computers, industrial equipment and household appliances, which increased by 15%.<\/p>\n
According to the Abinee, computer sector revenues totalled 35.27 billion Brazilian reals (US$ 20 billion) in 2009 and should reach 40.4 billion reals (US$ 23 billion) in 2010. The industrial equipment segment, which posted revenues of 15 billion reals (US$ 8.5 billion) last year, should post 17.18 billion reals (US$ 9.7 billion) this year. Household utensils revenues should reach 15.381 billion reals (US$ 8.7 billion) in 2010, as against 13.427 reals (US$ 7.6 billion) in 2009.<\/p>\n
\u201cComputers remain the leading segment,\u201d claims the coordinator of the workgroup in charge of the study, Aluizio Byrro. \u201cOur gola is to have electric and electronic industry revenues go from 4% to 7% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2020,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He mentioned once again the deficit that the country has in technician and engineer training and the \u201csignificant losses\u201d caused by the exchange rate. \u201cBesides, we are concerned with the need for heavy investment, especially in the components sector,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe situation remains very good for companies in fields linked to computers, cellular phones and household appliances, but imports, which are one of the main concerns of our sector, have been harmed. After a poorly implemented market opening in the 1990s, approximately 200 companies disappeared,\u201d said the president of the Abinee, Humberto Barbato.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have lost much space as a result of imports,\u201d said Byrro, who calls for the federal government\u2019s National Broadband Plan to be \u201cmade a reality\u201d so as to lower risks for domestic companies.<\/p>\n
The Electric and Electronic Industry in 2020 \u2013 Detailing and Proposal Updating<\/i> survey is a result of debates between companies affiliated with the Abinee and government authorities. The document brings reflections on the challenges facing the industry over the next 10 years, and presents proposals that may promote the strengthening of the country\u2019s electric and electronic industry.<\/p>\n
