Antibacterial Abhorrence

The most grisly parts of everyday life are automated and sanitized

Implications - Consumers are accustomed to digital enhancement in everything from their sleep patterns to finding romance; the newest addition to the realm of automation is in the least glamorous parts of daily life. This sanitation of the unsanitary speaks to a shift in the perceived purpose of technology away from convenience, and more toward a perfected, mess-free way of life.
Workshop Question - How will automation impact your brand? How do you plan to adapt to it?
Trend Themes
1. Automation of Hygiene - The automation of traditionally unsanitary spaces with advanced technology aimed at increasing hygiene standards.
2. Antibacterial Technologies - The development and implementation of technologies that are designed to eliminate bacteria and reduce the spread of illness.
3. Upstream Health Products - Consumers are increasingly demanding products that promote good health and prevent the spread of germs.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can adopt the sanitation technologies into its specialized equipment.
2. Smart Home - The smart home industry can introduce automated and highly hygienic and sanitation products.
3. Hospitality & Tourism - The hospitality and tourism industry can employ these technologies to enhance the guest experience and maintain a clean and hygienic environment.
