Between 2003 and 2014, the FDI announced by the United
States in Brazil was concentrated in three activities:
manufacturing, IT & Communications (ITC) infrastructure
(wireless and wired communication services and systems,
datacenters etc.), and business services (administrative,
educational, residential, software, games solutions, etc.)
The growth in the value of these categories implies a decline
in investments in manufacturing activities in Brazil by the
United States: manufacturing's average share of the total
amount fell from 55.9% to 44.2% between 2003-2008 and
2009-2014. Over the same period, ITC infrastructure's share of
announced FDI rose from 6% to 30.8%, while business services
decreased from 12% to 7.5%.
The main U.S. companies that announced FDI in Brazil
between 2003 and 2015 are to be found in the Automotive,
Metals and Telecommunications sectors. The 15 companies
