The total number of scientific publications in chemical engineering in Brazil has been projected to rise from 1,390 in 2024 to 1,590 in 2028, representing an annual growth rate of about 3.5%. Given that the forecast begins in 2024, it can be inferred that there was relatively stagnant or marginal growth in previous years. For 2025, a year-on-year increase of approximately 3.6% is projected, maintaining momentum through 2028. These predictions suggest a growing interest and development in chemical engineering research within Brazil.
Future trends to watch for include advances in sustainable chemical processes, increased collaboration between academic and industrial sectors, and the impact of international partnerships on research quality and output. Keeping an eye on technological innovations and educational investments in the field could also provide insights into potential growth acceleration beyond 2028.
