This research aims to highlight some important points in the evolution of innovation in the Brazilian manufacturing industry, based on data from the Research for Technological Innovation. The study is descriptive and exploratory and has adopted bibliographic and documentary research, collecting secondary data. The first part of the research explores PINTEC's historical data related to the manufacturing industry, focusing on the evolution of the product and process innovation rate. The second part explores some data from the 2014 survey, comparing them with those of 2008 and 2011, related to the manufacturing industry divisions that achieved the highest innovation rates. The main conclusion is that the Brazilian manufacturing industry was, until 2008, innovating more. Another consideration is that the four divisions that performed best in the 2014 survey can be divided into two major areas, called chemistry/pharmacology and electro/electronics.
