Industrial clusters such as Extrema, Pouso Alegre, and Betim (MG), along with Goiânia (GO), stand out for combining strong connectivity with lower logistics costs. These markets are attracting e-commerce, automotive, and food companies seeking to reduce operating expenses while maintaining proximity to Southeast Brazil’s main consumer regions.   

With ample land availability and robust highway infrastructure, southern Minas Gerais is solidifying its position as a natural extension of the São Paulo logistics corridor, while Goiânia is emerging as a key distribution hub for Brazil’s Central-West, efficiently serving the country’s interior. 

The Central-West region also performs strongly in the study, led by Brasília (DF) — one of Brazil’s most connected logistics hubs. While the surrounding area has lower population density, the capital benefits from its strategic central location and direct links to major highways (BR-020, BR-040, BR-060, and BR-070), positioning it as a vital gateway for interstate and regional distribution. 

In the South, cities such as Londrina, Araucária, and Pinhais (PR) are gaining visibility thanks to their industrial heritage and integrated road networks. These markets are evolving into regional distribution centers, leveraging their location at the crossroads of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo. 

According to cy.capital’s analysis, the hybrid profile of these municipalities — capable of handling both urban and regional logistics operations — gives them a competitive advantage over other inland markets. Londrina, for instance, has emerged as a natural hub for northern Paraná and southern Mato Grosso do Sul, connecting key trade routes efficiently and cost-effectively. 

The Northeast is also gaining momentum. Hubs such as Guararapes and Cabo de Santo Agostinho (PE), near the Port of Suape, and Feira de Santana (BA), a major highway junction in Bahia, combine strong connectivity with high development potential.

Among the most distinctive cases is Manaus (AM) — a city with excellent internal connectivity but limited by its distance from major consumer markets. Even so, the Manaus Free Trade Zone remains a critical component of the Amazon region’s supply chain, functioning as a strategic hub for both fluvial and air distribution. 

Despite its geographic isolation, Manaus exemplifies a growing trend: specialized hubs shaped by regional dynamics, capable of operating successfully outside the traditional logic of dense urban centers.
