Brands integrate UV sanitation lights to everyday kitchen appliances

Trend - Many brands are implementing sanitation technology to lifestyle items that already exist in consumers' daily routines. Recognizing that the kitchen area can be vulnerable, cooking and preparation appliances are being built with sterilizing UV lights for hygienic purposes.

Insight - As consumers are more conscious of their personal hygiene and its impacts on their health, they are taking action to integrate habits into their existing routines for improvement. Without disrupting their lifestyle, they look for products and services that navigate them through the new habit of routine cleanliness in convenient ways.
Workshop Question - How can your product or service incorporate multi-functionality?
Trend Themes
1. UV Sanitation Technology - Many brands are integrating UV sanitation technology to everyday kitchen appliances and objects to support better health and cleanliness at home.
2. Compact and Multipurpose Appliances - Multipurpose home appliances with a compact design that utilize UV sanitation and smart features are gaining popularity.
3. Deep Cleaning Capabilities - Consumers are looking for products and services that allow them to spotlessly clean surfaces, utensils and other items with deep cleaning capabilities.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliances - Home appliance companies can focus on developing features that incorporate UV sanitation technology, compact design, and deep cleaning capabilities to meet the growing demand and trend.
2. Personal and Home Hygiene - Businesses in the personal and home hygiene industry can take advantage of this trend by developing innovative, technological solutions that fulfill consumer demand for deep cleaning and sanitation (e.g., UV light devices, soap and disinfectant products).
3. Smart Technologies - Developers of smart technologies can develop features that provide a convenient and seamless experience for users as they adapt to new habits of routine cleanliness and personal hygiene.
