01.10.202613:00:00UTC+00Brazil’s Factory Slump Deepens as September S&P Global Manufacturing PMI Falls to 44.8

Brazil’s manufacturing sector slid further into contraction in September, as the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI declined to 44.8 from 46.3 in August 2026. The latest reading, released on 01 October 2026, signals a sharper deterioration in operating conditions for Brazilian manufacturers.

A PMI below the 50.0 threshold points to contraction, and September’s level underscores mounting pressure on factory activity following August’s already weak performance. The continued drop suggests that demand, production, or both are under strain, heightening concerns about the sector’s short‑term outlook and its contribution to Brazil’s broader economic growth in the third quarter of 2026.

The fresh data will likely draw attention from policymakers and investors watching for signs of sustained weakness in Brazil’s industrial base, as the manufacturing downturn risks spilling over into employment, investment, and export performance in the coming months.
