Through a system that monitors changes in consumer interests and preferences in Central American countries in real time, developed by CentralAmericaData, it is possible to project short and long term demand trends for the different products, sectors and markets operating in the region.

The figures for the Salvadoran market detail that in the long-term trend, the issue of commercial real estate investment, reported a decline between February 2 and 23, but from March 1 interactions on the Internet began to increase.
