In both Brazilian and American business contexts, the distinction between tangible and intangible products has become increasingly important with the rise of the digital economy. Companies often separate their business models into tangible product lines and service/software divisions. In Brazil, the term 'produtos tangíveis' is widely used in manufacturing sectors, particularly in São Paulo's industrial belt, while in Portugal, legal and accounting contexts may use 'bens materiais' as an alternative.
