Brasil: Ventas de alimentos del sector HORECA superan los US$ 82 mil millones
In 2021, the Brazilian foodservice industry reached revenues of BRL 460 billion (USD85.2 billion), a growth of 26 percent compared to 2020. Although many challenges are still present, the forecast for 2022 is at 18 percent growth compared to 2021. Brazilian imports of consumer-oriented products grew 4.15 percent in 2021, ending the year with a total value of US$4.3 billion.
In 2021, with the reduction in death rates after the start of the mass vaccination program, the Brazilian foodservice started to grow consistently. The sector grew 26 percent in 2021 compared to the previous year, when foodservice saw its average annual revenue decline by 23.3 percent. After a long period of social isolation, consumers were motivated to go out and enjoy bars, restaurants, hotels, an entertainment services.
The Brazilian Food Industry Association (Abia) predicts that the sector will end 2022 with a growth rate of 18 percent. However, from 2021 onwards, inflation, high-interest rates, rising food, fuel and energy prices have put pressure on entrepreneurs’ margins. The Brazilian Association of Bars and Restaurants (Abrasel) estimates at least 335,000 companies went bankrupt due to the restrictions imposed by the pandemic during 2020 and 2021. According to Abrasel, in August 2022, six out of ten companies had debits with banks, government, real state, and suppliers.
