The IT distribution market has been growing in Brazil throughout the years, providing high profit to its resellers and offering solutions to business across all ranges. In this article we will list the largest IT distributors operating in Brazil.

IT distribution market

With the migration of many businesses to an online environment, the need for infrastructure investment and manufacturing has increased significantly. The Brazilian IT market grew 2% in 2013 compared to the previous year, with an income of BRL 13,3 billion, according to research by ABRADISTI, or The Brazilian IT Distributors Association.

However, sales of PCs in Brazil decreased between January and March 2015, when 1,964 million units were sold, 20% less than the same period in 2014. The main reason for these results, according to research from IDC, a consultancy specialized in market intelligence and information technology was the higher prices of the hardware. On the other hand, IDC has predicted overall growth among the IT industries of 5% this year, and retailers are still the main sales channel for these kind of products.
