Customer preferences: As more individuals in Equatorial Guinea embrace DIY projects and home improvement, there has been a noticeable preference for sustainable and eco-friendly materials. This trend is influenced by the country's growing awareness of environmental issues and a desire to reduce waste.

Local special circumstances: In Equatorial Guinea, the DIY & Hardware Store market is heavily influenced by the country's tropical climate, which requires the availability of products and tools that can withstand high levels of humidity and extreme heat. Additionally, cultural preferences for traditional building techniques and materials may limit the demand for certain foreign products.
