Venezuela.
The paint market in Venezuela continues to go through a critical moment, as evidenced by the declines in sales in some regions of the South American country, registered by local media.
It is known that the value of a gallon of paint has increased up to 100% and merchants say that compared to the previous year, the dynamics of sales are totally different.
The periodiquito.com collects the impressions of a merchant: "Espedita Pereira, in charge of a local, said that the high prices of the paintings affect that buyers still do not rush to acquire the products. " The economic instability and the inflationary reality of the country collaborates so that our sales remain weak, it is difficult both for us and for our customers, "he said.
For his part, informe21.com interviewed several merchants who agree in their assessments in this regard: "Annel Orence, seller of La Tienda del Pintor, explained that they have products in all their categories, but the best sellers are those of type B, since those of class A are very expensive and those of type C are not usually to the liking of the consumer because the quality is very poor".
Tony Rosales, in charge of Pinturas Redemar, commented that the increase in the prices of these products has been strong compared to previous years. "People strictly buy what is necessary, what is essential, what reaches the customer; a roll of adehesiva tape, a rubber paint to retouch, because people now retouch or prefer to clean their walls," Rosales said.
