Designed by Su Yeon Lee and the Fountain Studio, the carrier draws design inspiration from shipping containers, and features a food bowl, water bottle and even a place to do their business within. The hard-sided design of the carrier makes it perfect for preventing rough and tumble turbulence from causing an issue. The conceptual 'Air Cage' pet carrier is also outfitted with some of the latest technology including a camera monitor for taking a peek at a pet in real-time to calm the stress that can be induced amongst owners during their trip. The unit is designed as part of a rental service to make it as cost-effective as possible for pet owners to use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Stress-relieving Pet Carriers:** Designing pet carriers with features that alleviate pets' stressful experience during travel. - **Tech-integrated Pet Carriers:** Incorporating technological features such as cameras to monitor pets in real-time to reduce travel-induced stress. - **Pet Carrier Rental Services:** Providing cost-effective rental services for specific pet carrier designs to pet owners. ### Who This Affects Most - **Pet Accessories:** Expanding the market for pet accessories specifically aimed at reducing pets' stress during travel. - **Travel:** Partnering with pet accessory companies to offer their products as part of travel packages, targeting pet owners. - **Rental Services:** Creating rental services for technological devices that aid in monitoring pets, targeting pet owners who travel frequently with their pets or experience high-stress pet travel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual-Purpose Pet Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burrow-pet-carrier.md) - [Small Pet Carrier Enclosures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fenced-traveling-backpack.md) - [Stylish Multi-Functional Pet Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-pet-carrier.md) - [Thoughtfully Designed Pet Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispin-pet-travel-crate.md) - [Airline-Safe Cat Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porto-cat-carrier.md) - [Pet-Friendly Travel Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petfriendly-carryon-suitcase.md) - [Travel-Friendly Pet Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bis-pet-collection.md) - [Aluminum-Based Dog Crates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impact-dog-crates.md) - [Safety-Focused Pet Travel Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tavo-maeve-pet-protection-system.md)
