The reduction in the participation of industry in economic activities was present in the second half of the 20th century in countries such as the USA and Germany, and in practically all developed countries, but it did not occur in more recently industrialized economies, such as the Chinese and Indian cases. The objective of this research was to identify how the historical process of deindustrialization of the Brazilian economy and its reprimarization occurred, with its accelerated insertion in the globalized economy, and which indicators point to the occurrence of this process. In the methodological aspect, the classification of the use of historical series was carried out in order to present the evolution of the indicators of Brazilian industrialization and deindustrialization. The results indicate that the peak of the participation of industrial activities in the Brazilian economy occurred in the 1980s, when ¼ of the wealth produced came from industrial activities, a percentage that drastically reduced after this period, thus marking the process of deindustrialization in the country.
