A relaxing home is not only comfortable and cosy but also clean; as a result of spending more time at home since the beginning of the pandemic – consumers have found it incredibly important to keep their homes clean. This has given rise to more concern around health and safety. Observing the 2022 trends gives us a clear indication that consumers are becoming more conscious of the products they use and the brands they support while considering the impact on the environment and sustainability. As the times change, it’s becoming all the more imperative to change how we do things, to ensure that we use the most effective methods and products. As a home product creator, here are some consumer trends you can consider as you design new products and interact with consumers. Let’s look at some of the 2022 trends in the home care products industry.
1. Refilling & Reusability of Cleaning Products
Waste reduction is a priority given the global concerns when it comes to plastic waste landing up in oceans and other undesirable places. As consumers become more knowledgeable about how their actions impact the environment thus, more consumers are opting for quality reusable and refillable packaging. This also expands to cleaning utensils such as mops, wipes and paper towels. Products need to be developed with quality and sustainability in mind.
2. Non-Toxic: Child & Pet Friendly Cleaning Products
Toxic products have been on the market for a long time, so consumers seek a product that is not harmful to children and pets. Regarding children, non-toxic products are also ideal when the little ones want to enjoy cleaning fun. As more people work from home – hands-on help is undoubtedly a must! So, to ensure optimal safety for the little ones, brands must make products that are less toxic than mainstream products.
3. Eco-Conscious Ingredients are Vital
Consumers are also making the switch to products that contain ingredients that don’t harm the environment. Harmful products are also likely to harm the skin and damage surfaces and appliances. Therefore, it’s imperative to consider plant-based cleaning products, biodegradable products and water-based solutions.
