The [collapsible unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collapsible-espresso-maker) is capable of being stored in any pack thanks to its compact design and will go to work when expanded to filter water that can be stored in containers or even used in the unit for washing up. This makes it ideal for off-grid campers or hikers alike to use when getting off the beaten path to ensure they are never out of reach of potable water. The GoSun 'Flow' water purifier has a [solar panel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-power-solutions) on the top section and utilizes a power bank to store energy that will power the pump for a cordless experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collapsible Solar-powered Water Purifiers:** The trend of creating innovative and portable water purifiers that use renewable energy sources continues to gain momentum - **Off-grid Camping Equipment:** An increasing number of outdoors enthusiasts are seeking highly portable off-grid equipment that allows them to explore without relying on traditional infrastructure - **Multifunctional Devices:** The trend of creating multifunctional devices that can serve a variety of purposes (e.g., water filtration, cooking, and power generation) is expected to continue growing in popularity across multiple sectors ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Recreation:** Companies involved in outdoor recreation can explore opportunities for creating portable, rechargeable equipment that enhances the experience for off-grid enthusiasts - **Emergency Preparedness:** Manufacturers of emergency preparedness kits can consider incorporating portable, solar-powered water purifiers that can help users survive in the event of a natural disaster or other crisis - **Sustainability:** Firms in the sustainable technology space could look to develop innovative solutions that harness renewable energy sources (such as solar power) to help address water scarcity and support off-grid living ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptable Water Purification Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adaptable-water-purification-system.md) - [Collapsible Water Filtration Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filtration-bottles.md) - [Water Purifier Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladislamp-disinfection.md) - [On-The-Go Portable Water Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-water-dispenser.md) - [Five-in-One Water Filter Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitaloop-water-filtration-bottle.md) - [Extra-Rugged Water Filter Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-filter-system.md) - [Portable Water Filtration Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-water-filtration-system.md) - [Personal Water Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifestraw-mission.md) - [Travel-Friendly Water Purification Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifestraw-peak-series.md)
