More consumers prefer purchasing necessities, vehicles, or electronic devices with well-known brands. In my perspective,

development and the main cause of

is that many people presume the products of those famous ones are usually more high-quality and reliable as well. While there are many reasons for the inclination towards many distinguished brands, I believe it is deeply rooted in the presumption that the more famous the brands are, the higher quality their products have. Nowadays, when it comes to necessities, cars, or electronic devices, there are thousands of brands mushrooming to compete making it harder for consumers to know which brand is better.
Therefore

, the majority of people tend to buy things from some famous brands because they think the quality of products from those brands are far more reliable and better than the less famous ones. Take,
for example

, Apple and Samsung have been dominating the electronics market with a great number of people purchasing their electronic devices
such

as mobile phones, laptops, headphones every year due to their high-quality products. In my viewpoint, the tendency of buying products from renowned brands is a negative trend because it would hinder other less famous ones’ development. When more and more people choose to buy things

As a result

For instance

is the presumption that products from famous brands have higher quality as well as reliability, and many people purchasing goods from brands having a good reputation is a negative trend because of its hindrance to the development of many other less well-known ones.
