Brazil is the world’s second largest iron ore producer, after Australia, accounting for 17% of total world production in 2021. The country’s iron ore production is expected to remain relatively flat in 2022, with an estimated growth of 1.0% over 2021 to reach 426.8Mt. This growth will be supported by increased production across the Vale’s operating mines. Although, heavy rainfall impacted Vale’s output during the H1 2022 (a 4.5% Y-o-Y fall), production is likely to recover in H2 2022, according to company’s guidance, which is targeting to produce between 320-335Mt in 2022, up from 315.6Mt in 2021. Brazil’s iron ore production is expected to grow at a compound annua growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3% over the forecast period (2023-26), to reach 496.3Mt by 2026. This will be mostly due to the resumption of Vale’s capacities at Serra Norte N1/N2, Serra Leste expansion and S11C project, which will be operational by the end of 2026.
