Simulated Maturity

Adult products altered for kids encourage lost adolescence

Implications - Products and services normally reserved for adult consumers are being altered for the child demographic. Offering kid versions of adult products instills a sense of independence among children, giving them the freedom to act as adults. This shift in target demographic and the increased taste of adulthood among children will have a profound effect on youth culture, the extent of which still remains to be seen.
Trend Themes
1. Kidification - The trend of adult products being altered for the child demographic leads to opportunities for businesses to create kid versions of existing adult products.
2. Family Entertainment - Innovative meeting places like Moomah, that cater to both kids and adults, are an opportunity for businesses to create entertainment hubs where families can come together to chill out, learn, create, eat, and discover.
3. Tech-savvy Kids - The rise of child-friendly technology, such as the Fable tablet, provides an opportunity for businesses to develop affordable and easy-to-use tech devices for children.
Industry Implications
1. Toy and Game Industry - The alteration of adult products for kids and the rise of imaginative stores like Pilar's Story Toyshop create opportunities for toy and game companies to expand their product lines or create new offerings.
2. Hospitality Industry - Innovative meeting places like Moomah provide opportunities for the hospitality industry to create adult-friendly settings that offer entertainment hubs to families with children.
3. Technology Industry - The development of tech devices for children like the Fable tablet creates opportunities for tech companies to tap into the child-friendly market segment with affordable and easy-to-use devices.
