Seven out of 10 industries have difficulty buying input, points out CNI

Difficulties in the supply of inputs and raw materials affected an average of 68% of companies in the extractive and construction industries in October 2021, according to a survey released this Thursday, December 2nd, by CNI (the national confederation of industry).

The percentage is lower than in February this year when 73% of companies reported the problem. “Despite the slight drop, the situation is quite complicated, and more than half of the industries assess that this mismatch will only end as of April 2022”, informed the CNI.

According to the survey, in 18 of the 25 sectors of the transformation industry, two-thirds of the companies consulted stated that despite negotiating higher prices, it is more difficult to obtain inputs in the domestic market.

This problem affects 90% of the footwear sector; 88% of leather industries, 85% of furniture manufacturers; 79% of the chemical industry; 78% of the apparel industry,  78% of lumber companies, 77% of the computer equipment and electronic products industries, and 76% of the beverage sector, for example.

Imported inputs

Among the sectors that depend on imported inputs, 18 of them also reported the same problem: the difficulty of buying the goods, even if they decided to pay more for it. The most affected sectors were: pharmaceuticals (88%), electrical machinery and material (86%), clothing (85%), plastic material (84%), cleaning and perfumery (82%), textiles (81%), and furniture ( 80%).
