Customer preferences: Consumers in LATAM are showing a growing interest in sustainable and environmentally-friendly DIY and hardware options. This is driven by a heightened awareness of climate change and a desire to reduce their carbon footprint. As a result, there has been a rise in demand for eco-friendly and biodegradable materials and tools, as well as products made from recycled materials. This trend is also being influenced by cultural values and a desire to preserve natural resources for future generations.
