    As global trade facing the fast-changing U.S. tariffs, China's exporters are aggressively targeting emerging markets like Brazil. In this evolving landscape, leading Chinese shipping agents are enhancing their services to strengthen the Asia-South America trade corridor.

    This April, Intermodal South America will showcase these top shipping agents in Brazil, presenting their innovative solutions to the world.

    China-Brazil Trade: How Shipping is Evolving

    With Brazil emerging as both a key destination and a manufacturing transit hub for Chinese exports, logistics providers are adapting to new trends:

    1. Expansion of Air Freight:

    Driven by the growth of international e-commerce, particularly in regions outside of China and the United States, air freight volumes are expected to see double-digit growth.

    2. Rising Warehousing Costs:

    Brazil's logistics land demand is soaring, with rents expected to rise more than 500 basis points above the global average in 2025. Vacancy rates are set to dip into single digits, reflecting the country's growing appeal as an emerging market. Chinese capital may further invest in Brazil's warehouse facilities to support cross-border E-commerce and the expansion of manufacturing overseas.

    3. Strategic Infrastructure Developments:

    Brazil’s international logistics market has reached a staggering $450 billion and is projected to grow to $500 billion by 2025. In a major push to modernize its infrastructure, the Brazilian government plans to invest over $20 billion in the next five years to upgrade aging highways and expand its underpowered railway system. The initiative aims to boost transportation efficiency and cut logistics costs—developments expected to significantly enhance trade flows between China and Brazil.
