Rather than simply boasting a small size that's ultra-portable, this queFactory design sets itself apart by boasting a form that can be [collapsed as needed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-cup). The bottle boasts a spiral shape that can be expanded to make a full-sized bottle and condensed in size when empty for easier transport that saves space. There are two sizes to choose from: a high-capacity 20 fluid ounce bottle for every day use and a 12 fluid ounce bottle for travelers and kids, both of which can be condensed in size. The plastic-free bottle is lightweight and made of BPA-free food-grade silicone. As well as being ideal for transporting water, the bottle is safe to use for both hot and cold beverages. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Collapsible Travel Bottles:** The que travel water bottle introduces a collapsible design, disrupting the traditional travel bottle market. - **Spiral-shaped Bottles:** The spiral shape of the que bottle provides a unique and space-saving solution for travelers and everyday users. - **Plastic-free Bottles:** The que bottle's BPA-free, food-grade silicone material sets a new standard in eco-friendly and safe water bottles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Travel Accessories:** The collapsible design of the que bottle creates opportunities for innovation in the travel accessories industry. - **Beverage Packaging:** The spiral-shaped and space-saving design of the que bottle can inspire new packaging solutions in the beverage industry. - **Eco-friendly Products:** The plastic-free and sustainable nature of the que bottle aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly products, offering opportunities for businesses in this sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Twisting Collapsible Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elio.md) - [Modular Travel Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetra.md) - [Space-Saving Hydration Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-water-bottles.md) - [Travel-Friendly Toiletry Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carry-on-bottle.md) - [Collapsible Water Filtration Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filtration-bottles.md) - [Pump-Integrated Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottle-bottle.md) - [Steel Portable Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/togo-bottle.md) - [Multifunctional Drinking Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keepcup-bottle.md) - [Portable Compact Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-kettle.md)
