Abstract
This study investigates consumer preferences for domestic products in an emerging
economy market. We argue that consumer preferences are contingent on the level of consumer
ethnocentrism, preferences for different product categories from specific country clusters and those
of importers, and consumers’ previous experience with products. The findings suggest that there
are significant variations in consumer evaluations of products across specific product categories,
country-of-origin, and other multicues. We also find a significant influence of consumer ethnocentrism
on preferences for different product categories from specific country clusters when controlling for
background variables. Implications for theory and practice and suggestions for future research are
discussed.
