Brazil’s defense exports reached US$ 931 million in the first quarter of 2026, more than doubling year-on-year and reinforcing the country’s growing presence in global markets.
Exports rose from US$ 457 million in the same period of 2025, extending a strong growth trend following record results in both 2024 and 2025.
According to journalist Lauro Jardim, from O Globo, the performance highlights Brazil’s expanding footprint in the international defense market.
Germany, Bulgaria, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Portugal were among the main destinations for Brazilian defense products. The sector’s global reach is significant, with exports currently reaching 148 countries across all continents.
The industry includes around 93 exporting companies operating across different segments of the production chain.
