During the forecast period, construction trends in the Dominican Republic will impact demand for floor polish, with wood, granite, and other high-maintenance materials seeing less frequent use. While the housing construction sector is poised for growth, it faces challenges such as high interest rates and rising costs of materials like cement and steel, which have led to the development of smaller, more compact housing units following minimalist design trends.
Young Dominicans increasingly follow global trends in furniture design, favouring simple, low-maintenance materials. Retail chains like IKEA, which offer minimalist melamine furniture that requires only basic cleaning with multi-purpose surface care products, align well with these preferences.
While the Dominican shoe polish market has traditionally catered to dark shoes, there is a growing variety of options for different materials and shades. Younger Dominicans increasingly favour lighter-coloured footwear, prompting brands like Búfalo to expand their offerings with polishes designed for casual shoes made of canvas, suede, and even specialised products for maintaining white sneakers.
