Product Trends 2025

We have reached "Peak Stuff." The consumer of 2025 is tired. They are tired of subscriptions, tired of updates, and tired of their toaster needing a Wi-Fi connection.

Calm Tech & Biophilia

The trend is "Calm Tech." Products that do their job and shut up. We are seeing a move toward "Bold Minimalism"- design that reduces cognitive load rather than adding to it. Simultaneously, we are seeing the "Biological Merge." Footwear made from bacteria (PHA) that dissolves in the ocean. Furniture 3D printed from recycled food waste. This isn't just eco-friendly; it's a rejection of the disposable petrochemical culture.

The Right to Repair

The "Right to Repair" isn't just legislation; it's a consumer demand for sovereignty over their own property. If you cannot open it, you do not own it. Brands like Framework (modular laptops) are showing that longevity is a feature, not a bug.

‍The Takeaway: Stop building "smart" products. Build durable products. The most sustainable product is the one you don't have to replace next year.
