Automotive Seminar in Brazil Automotive Market – Opportunities & Challenges for the Japanese Automotive sector

To our Clients

Thank you very much for supporting our business.

We are very honoured and pleased to announce PwC Japan’s upcoming “Brazil Automotive Market – Opportunities & Challenges for the Japanese Automotive sector” seminar with our guest speaker, Mr Marcelo Cioffi, PwC Brazil’s Automotive Leader.

In 2012, around 3.3 million cars were assembled in Brazil and this number is expected to increase by a further 2.2 million cars to 5.5 million by 2018. In addition, given the current economic position, size and population of around 190 million people, Brazil can be considered to be an attractive and strategic market for many global automotive companies. As a consequence, over recent times many Japanese automotive and parts manufacturers have been accelerating their expansion or entry into Brazil.

Marcelo Cioffi will share his insights & perspectives about the Brazilian market as well as speak about the opportunities & challenges faced by the Japanese Automotive sector.

We hope this seminar will help your Automotive business innovation. Sincerely yours, Katsunori Sasayama, Partner PwC Japan Automotive Leader
