The [vehicular storage case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onwrd-modular-vehicle-organization-systems) maintains a [low-profile construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trailster-camper) that can be affixed onto any sedan, SUV or truck at the rear when used with compatible hardware. The aerodynamic construction of the box means it won't impede fuel economy too much, while the low level design also keeps sight lines open on the roadway. The Thule Arcos features ample storage space within and, best of all, won't inhibit use of the vehicle's trunk hatch. The case is rated to be tough and weather-resistant to withstand use in any climate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Low-profile Car Storage Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design car storage solutions that take up less space and offer more versatility. - **Aerodynamic Vehicle Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create aerodynamic accessories to reduce fuel consumption and increase driving efficiency. - **Weather-resistant Car Storage:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop storage cases that can withstand different weather conditions while maintaining their aesthetic and functionality. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a wide range of low-profile car storage solutions for different types of vehicles. - **Sustainability:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use aerodynamic designs to create more fuel-efficient vehicles and accessories that have less impact on the environment. - **Outdoor and Travel Gear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with car manufacturers to design specialized storage solutions that complement a particular car model or lifestyle, such as camping or sports equipment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lateral Rooftop Cargo Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rooftop-cargo-racks.md) - [Low-Profile Car Roof Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thule-caprock-roof-platform.md) - [Rollable Rooftop Cargo Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rooftop-cargo-rack.md) - [Car Camping Storage Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-hammock.md) - [Truck Bed Storage Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truck-bed-storage-system.md) - [Sound-Dampening Camper Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-storage-box-collection.md) - [Gear-Organizing Truck Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartcap-modular-truck-topper-system.md) - [Level-Access Car Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-racks.md) - [Low-Profile Highly-Configurable Van Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/van-rack.md)
