The Droid Soap Bar Beats Any Technology in Staying Clean

— June 28, 2010 — Tech
The existence of the Droid Soap Bar has fed into my obsession with interestingly-shaped soaps. Looking like a realistic techie gadget, this phone-shaped piece is actually a Kahlua Cafe O'Lait-scented cleanser.

For techie-lovers like myself, this Droid Soap Bar is definitely a worthwhile piece to have in any washroom. With this cleanser combining technology and personal hygiene, different soap styles can only get more creative from here forward.

Implications - Technology is in a state of constant evolution, and consumers cannot help but be fascinated with these products. Taking a popular item and altering it to address an entirely different need (such as cleanliness with this iPhone soap bar) is a great way to use the power of en-vogue material and apply it to another market.
Trend Themes
1. Creative Soap Designs - The Droid Soap Bar is an example of the growing trend of unique and creatively designed soaps.
2. Tech-inspired Hygiene Products - The combination of technology and personal hygiene, as seen in the Droid Soap Bar, is a rising trend in consumer products.
3. Cross-market Innovation - Taking popular items and applying them to new markets, like using the design of a phone for a soap bar, presents disruptive innovation opportunities.
Industry Implications
1. Personal Care - The personal care industry can capitalize on the trend of creative soap designs by introducing more unique and visually appealing products.
2. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can explore the market potential of tech-inspired hygiene products by developing innovative devices or accessories for personal care.
3. Home Decor - The home decor industry can incorporate cross-market innovation by creating decor items inspired by popular gadgets, like the Droid Soap Bar, to appeal to tech-loving consumers.
