OEE benchmark Brazil 2026: manufacturing data, sector targets and downtime cost
Official manufacturing statistics for Brazil, the OEE ranges that apply to its leading sectors, a downtime-cost calculator preloaded with national labour and energy costs, and the incentives that can fund a monitoring project.
Key figures
Leading sectors and the OEE ranges that apply
The first columns are Brazil's own sector mix (IBGE). The OEE columns are the oee-benchmark.org editorial ranges for that sector type: they are benchmarks for plants, not national statistics.
| Sector | Weight | Typical OEE | World-class target | Dominant loss | A × P × Q |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (São Paulo state, share of industrial GDP) Alimentos 13.5%, Derivados de petróleo e biocombustíveis 10.4%, Químicos 8.6%, Veículos automotores 8.1% | state-level, CNI Perfil da Indústria (2023) | 70–85% | 85% | Changeover & minor stops | 92% × 95% × 99.5% |
Downtime cost calculator: Brazil defaults
Change any input and the result updates. The labour and electricity defaults are the national statistics quoted above, not your plant's figures; replace them with your own numbers for a real estimate.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good OEE in Brazil?
There is no national OEE statistic: OEE is measured per line, and the useful comparison is by sector. For Brazil's leading sectors the typical range is 70–85% and the world-class targets are listed above. Most plants that start measuring sit near 60%.
Where do these figures come from?
Manufacturing weight, employment, labour cost, energy price and robot density come from official statistics (IBGE, Eurostat, the World Bank and the IFR); every figure links to the page it was read from. The OEE ranges are oee-benchmark.org editorial benchmarks.
What is in the Brazil benchmark pack?
An Excel workbook with the country profile and sources, the hub table, the sector OEE ranges, a downtime-cost calculator with the national defaults already filled in, and the incentives and events lists. It is free; we ask for a work email.
