INSIGHTS

Intensifying demand for circular product solutions shapes the industry.

A&D clients are beginning to prioritize reuse, repair, remanufacturing, and recycling at the end of a product’s life, influencing makers to consider these strategies during the development process.

 

Premium, professional-grade products dominate in residential spaces.

More and more, consumers are seeking residential products that deliver the functionality and quality of professional equipment such as commercial-grade appliances, gym-quality workout machines, and high-performance office furniture.

 

The call for personalized and organized workspaces endures.

Regardless of where they work, people are seeking environments that allow for self-expression and greater organization, including the display of personal items and customization of storage.
