Glowing Innovation

Designers are adding a glowing touch to their creations for added engagement a

Implications - There are a range of glow in the dark products on the market, from fashion to electronics and home décor. Battery powered yarn, luminescent fabrics and glow in the dark equalizers add appeal to ordinary fashions, particularly among clubbers. Other innovations seen on Trend Hunter include solar-powered fluorescent garden lamps, Yamaha’s glow-in-the-dark scooter, glowing printer paper and light-up night clubs.

Objects that glow, light up or are fluorescent, re-invoke childhood fascinations. By adding illumination, a simple product can be made more desirable.
Trend Themes
1. Glow-in-the-dark - Products that glow in the dark, light up, or are fluorescent continue to reinvoke childhood fascinations, adding illumination, and increasing product desirability.
2. Clean Energy - The use of solar power through innovative products like solar-powered fluorescent garden lamps and solar-powered Glow-in-the-Dark Pebbles has become increasingly popular as consumers look for eco-friendly options.
3. Pop-up Buildings - The current sour economy has impacted the ability of small business owners to lease retail spaces, which has led to the rise of temporary installations like Pop-up Nightclubs that use modular shipping containers making it is easier to open and close a business as needed.
Industry Implications
1. Textiles and Fashion - Incorporating glowing yarn, luminescent fabrics and glow in the dark equalizers in everyday fashion is an opportunity for brands to stand out in a crowded market.
2. Clean Energy - Clean energy is not just about reducing carbon emissions but is also about creating unique products and solutions that benefit both the consumer and the environment, creating avenues for companies to meet these needs and showcase their brands as eco-friendly.
3. Hospitality and Entertainment - The rise of Pop-up Nightclubs using modular shipping containers provides a cost-effective solution for small businesses looking to create one-of-a-kind nightlife experiences without committing to a long-term lease agreement.
