Tactile Meditation

The process of touch is incorporated in various ways in at-home meditation

Trend - Tools that employ touch during meditation are increasingly popular as consumers seek out tactile forms of maintaining their concentration and relaxation as they meditate. These tools come in a variety of different formats and include everything from purposeful weighted pressure to pleasing textures.

Insight - For the average North American consumer who has an appreciation for "wellness," meditation is an appreciated but not fully adopted practice. Thus, meditation in its most traditional form can be difficult to achieve for busy consumers, as most are not well-versed enough to practice it regularly. This has prompted the growth of aids that help in the process of achieving and maintaining the focus required in a meditative state–with everything from apps to tactile tools being of assistance.
Workshop Question - How could your brand prioritize comfort in regards to customer experience?
Trend Themes
1. Analog Therapy Devices - Consumers seek out tactile forms of maintaining their concentration and relaxation, promoting the growth of analog therapy devices.
2. Technology-assisted Meditation - Technology solutions guide users along on their everyday health and wellness journey to satisfy demand for helpful and noninvasive products.
3. Vibrational Guidance Tools - Screen-free vibrational guidance tools for meditation help users concentrate and maximize the relaxation experience.
Industry Implications
1. Health and Wellness - The health and wellness industry can use these trends to innovate products that promote tactile experiences and mindfulness.
2. Biometric Sensing - The biometric sensing industry can explore the integration of tactile sensors in products to promote meditation and deep concentration.
3. Smart Home - Smart home technology can incorporate meditation devices that can be controlled by voice commands or smart assistants, expanding the market of users.
