Mobile Dwellings

From portable hotels to personal cloud spaces, mobile dwellings pop up all over

Implications - Just as children like to retreat to self-made forts or tree houses, adults like to retreat to personal spaces as well, signifying a desire for privacy, protection and perhaps a desire for a sense of territory. The creation of mobile dwellings are in answer to our need for temporary shelter.
Trend Themes
1. Mobile Living - The creation of mobile dwellings are in answer to our need for temporary shelter.
2. Pop-up Structures - Temporary spaces create impromptu party spots; when paired with the right talent, they can be just as successful as standalone clubs.
3. Container Housing - Stackable units were quickly recognized for their innovative style and design, creating much greener, more hip alternatives to unused crates.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - Companies working on the development and construction of mobile homes and structures have a huge potential in disrupting the traditional housing market and providing temporary solutions to people in need.
2. Hospitality and Tourism - The mobile hospitality industry is growing rapidly and businesses in the tourism industry can benefit by providing innovative and unique experiences for their customers through pop-up hotels.
3. Transportation and Logistics - Companies offering transportation and logistics services have a huge potential in providing effective ways to move and transport mobile homes and container housing around the world, opening up new markets and business opportunities.
