Companies are building tiny homes to help consumers with the cost of living crisis
Trend - Brands are creating tiny, mobile, and stationary houses that are designed to be more affordable and sustainable than traditional homes. These homes are often built on trailers or in small lots, and they are designed to maximize the use of space and minimize unnecessary features.

Insight - To combat the cost of living crisis, many consumers have chosen to purchase micro-houses and tiny homes as they are affordable living options for those struggling to afford a traditional home or apartment. As inflation continues to shift how consumers spend money, there is more emphasis being placed on humble, smaller-scale ways of living. As a result, tiny homes are becoming increasingly popular for people who want to downsize or live more simply.
Workshop Question - How can your brand make its product adaptable to the cost-of-living crisis?
