Brands are redesigning products around comfortable consumption routines
Trend - Brands are redesigning the packaging and pack-ins of consumables, such as food and beauty products, to be quicker and easier to use. The redesigns include adding handles or resealable lids, based on how consumers interact with the products. This reduces friction during the consumption ritual.

Insight - Most consumers have certain beauty or food products that are integrated into their daily routines. These consumers can prefer a product for any number of reasons, but, when faced with two nearly identical products, they ultimately prefer the more convenient one. Brands that aim to integrate themselves into daily lives, particularly in the F&B and beauty spaces, are re-assessing their products with a new focus on convenience, with the goal of streamlining consumption and capturing more consumers.
Workshop Question - How could your brand ensure its products or services are as frictionless to use as possible?
