Customer preferences: In line with global trends, customers in Costa Rica have been gravitating towards modern and functional furniture pieces. The demand for sleek and minimalist designs has increased, with customers seeking furniture that can maximize space and provide multi-functional features.

This has led to increased competition among furniture retailers, as they strive to provide unique and high-quality products to attract customers. Furthermore, the convenience of online shopping has made it easier for customers to access furniture from international brands, further diversifying the market. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of customized furniture. Customers are looking for furniture that suits their individual needs and preferences, and are willing to pay a premium for personalized designs.
