Fitting onto your keychain like a traditional fob, the 'Aopun' offers users a small hook that can be used for grasping the handle of almost any door. Strong in design and material, the 'Aopun' is a slim, discreet keychain that's no bigger than the size of a traditional vehicle fob. The 'Aopun' is currently being funded on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soapstone-20) where the keychain can be snatched up for low introductory prices. Being that many consumers are looking for effective ways to prevent germs from spreading, the 'Aopun' takes an upstream approach to stop the spread in its tracks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upstream Germ Prevention:** The 'Aopun' keychain takes a proactive approach to stopping the spread of germs by offering a hook that can be used to grasp the handle of doors. - **Discreet Keychain Design:** The slim and discreet design of the 'Aopun' keychain allows it to easily fit onto a keychain without adding bulk or size. - **Crowdfunding for Innovation:** The 'Aopun' keychain is currently being funded on Kickstarter, showcasing the growing trend of using crowdfunding platforms to bring innovative products to market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Personal Hygiene:** The 'Aopun' keychain falls within the personal hygiene industry as it provides a convenient solution to prevent the spread of germs. - **Consumer Goods:** The 'Aopun' keychain belongs to the consumer goods industry as a practical and innovative accessory for everyday use. - **E-commerce:** The crowdfunding campaign for the 'Aopun' keychain demonstrates the potential for disruption in the e-commerce industry as more innovative products are launched through online platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hands-Free Door Handle Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safe-lever-door-opener.md) - [Touch-Free Santizing Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touch-free-pen.md) - [Three-in-One Hygiene Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-hygiene-kit.md) - [Copper-Made Antimicrobial Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/staywell-copper.md) - [Accessorized Cleansing Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hand-cleansing-mists.md) - [NFC-Enabled Anti-Distraction Keychains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unpluq-tag.md) - [Sleek Toiletries Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soapstone-20.md) - [Keychain-Sized Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k-smart-keychain.md) - [Titanium Keychain Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-keysnap.md)
