In this aspect, most of the local manufacturers, orient their productions to the segments of average consumption, trying to differentiate themselves by fashion and be competitive through a greater flexibility of delivery that the imported ones.
In general consumption there is a predominance of large international brands, with products manufactured in Asia, which serve the medium and high segments.
