Overview

In 2024, Brazil launched its new industrial policy, New Industry Brazil (Nova Indústria Basil - NIB), to boost national development up to 2033. This policy aims at stimulating productive and technological development, increasing the competitiveness of Brazilian industry to guide investment, promote better jobs, and boost the country’s international presence. 

Over US$ 50 billion in financing has been allocated to the new industrial policy until 2026, which establishes six missions that will guide the government’s efforts through 2033. Brazil also committed US$ 32 billion to drive industrial digitalization, combining public and private resources. Central to this endeavor is Mission 4 of the NIB, which lays objectives for the nation’s industrial digitization. By 2026, the target is for 25% of Brazilian industrial firms to undergo digital transformation, with aspirations to double that figure to 50% by 2033. Building data centers to house cloud computing, enabling the Internet of Things (IoT), and growing artificial intelligence (AI) are pivotal to Brazil’s digital transformation efforts. 

The Brazil Data Center Market is estimated at 0.88k MW for 2025 and is expected to reach 1.36k MW by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.08%. The market is also expected to generate colocation revenue of US$ 2.1 billion by 2025 and US$ 3.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 11.05%. The Brazilian government plans to launch a legal framework to attract data centers to the country in 2025. 

The Brazil Cloud Computing Market size is expected to reach US$ 3.24 million by 2025 and US$ 7.49 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 18.25%. This segment is experiencing significant transformation driven by rapid digitalization across industries. 

In 2024, a number of announcements were made related to investments in datacenters and AI in Brazil including projects from companies such as Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft. Under the National AI Plan (PBIA), there are five pillars: infrastructure and AI development, training and capacity building, AI for improving public services, AI for business innovation, and AI regulatory and governance process. Under the infrastructure pillar, the Brazilian government announced investments of approximately US$ 300 million to build a High-Performance Computer that aims to rank among the top 5 in the world.
