What is the Traveling Kit trend?
Traveling Kit: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, brands are curating sanitary travel kits for people who are traveling by plane or car. These kits allow consumers to ensure their cleanliness and the cleanliness of the objects they come into contact with while traveling.
Insight
The consumer insight behind the Traveling Kit trend
Even once the COVID-19 crisis is over, certain aspects of life and consumers' psyches will remain changed. The increased vigilance and at times, paranoia that people feel when going outdoors and traveling will likely remain, as consumers are now more aware of how their actions and hygiene habits affect their health and the health of those around them. To adapt to this, a range of industries will have to practice an understanding of consumers' changed mindsets in a world where hyper-vigilance has become the norm.
