Surveillance Avoidance

As surveillance becomes commonplace, consumers turn to blocking technology

Implications - Biometrics and drone technology are ushering in a new wave of convenience and security, but as they become commonplace, consumers are turning to blocking technology to maintain privacy. This backlash against surveillance identifies a consumer preference to maintain privacy and morals even at the expense of convenience.
Trend Themes
1. Privacy Protection - As surveillance becomes more commonplace, blocking technology and other privacy-focused products are gaining in popularity among consumers.
2. Security Innovation - Innovative products and technology, such as electromagnetic-protected phone covers and anti-drone warning systems, are emerging to help protect against breaches and privacy violations.
3. Digital Detoxification - As consumers become more concerned with their privacy and the impact of technology on their lives, products and services designed to promote digital detoxification, such as wireless signal blocking cafes, are becoming more popular.
Industry Implications
1. Security Industry - Companies in the security industry can capitalize on the growing demand for privacy protection and develop innovative products and services to meet these needs.
2. Mobile Phone Industry - The mobile phone industry can focus on developing more secure devices and accessories, such as privacy-preserving phone cases, to attract security-conscious consumers.
3. Hospitality Industry - The hospitality industry can incorporate the digital detox trend into their offerings by creating spaces, such as wireless signal blocking cafes, where customers can disconnect and relax without being bombarded by technology.
