CEMAT SOUTH AMERICA

CEMAT SOUTH AMERICA Intralogistics solutions for a changing market Pech: “South America is an interesting market for intralogistic suppliers” This year CeMAT South America will be held in São Paulo/Brazil for the third time. The international trade fair for material flow and logistics has developed into an important intralogistics trade fair in South America since it first started in 2011. This year’s event shows that subjects such as the fast-expanding e-commerce business, on the one hand, and the increasing interest in the real estate sector are very important for the Brazilian market and thus also have an impact on the intralogistic sector. Multinational real estate companies and logistic service providers are investing in the Brazilian market and are significantly promoting the development of the logistic sector. At least these are the findings made by Germany Trade and Invest (GTAI), an agency of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology, the Federal Foreign Trade Association, and Standortmarketing mbH on behalf of the Federal government. According to these reports, Brazilian companies are contributing to the significant increase in services. Even with a moderate amount of growth, the accumulated demand equates to good market results. However, the development of the transport infrastructure supported by the government’s investment program is progressing a lot slower. This is the reason why requests for more private-sector involvement in the infrastructure development are being made. Thanks to its large domestic market and stable framework conditions, Brazil will remain an interesting market for all logistic and intralogistic suppliers. “The e-commerce sector in Brazil is particularly expanding quickly. According to a study completed by Brazilian consultancy firm, E-bit, every fourth inhabitant in Brazil is actively making online purchases. In 2014, e-commerce spending increased by six percent in comparison to the previous year, while a further increase of twenty percent is expected for the current year. This will provide the logistic sector with significant business potential as online business offers shorter product life cycles and faster delivery times,” predicts Wolfgang Pech (Image), Division Manager at Deutschen Messe AG. Within the context of this fascinating environment, CeMAT South America will be held from June 30 to July 3, 2015 in the Brazilian city of São Paulo. It is the most important intralogistics trade fair in Brazil and the entire South American area. In addition to South and North American manufacturers, numerous European suppliers from the materials handling, inventory management, and machinery and plant engineering sectors will be exhibiting at the event.
