Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/30/2014 -- Venezuelans, in spite of their low purchasing power, like to take good care of their bodies and appearance. There is a positive attitude towards all diets, health-related products, and exercise programmes amongst the middle- and upper-income groups. Sales of sportswear products are expected to increase because in recent years the number of competitions in running, walking and cycling, as well as the number of participants in these activities, has increased. This situation shows that as the number of Venezuelans participating in these activities increases, so will the demand for sportswear performance products. In Caracas, every weekend there is a marathon for different causes. This activity has become the preferred marketing strategy for companies in the country.

Competitive Landscape

adidas is first with a 12% share of the retail value. adidas tends to be more affordable because it stocks many products from previous seasons. adidas also enjoys a wider distribution and carriers more variety throughout the country.
