Forecasting the next products and culture trends taking root among younger generations. We track overseas trends showing initial signals of adoption in Japan.

Key Future Focus Areas

Products that blend aesthetic appeal with sustainable manufacturing, along with home automation gear, are gaining traction.

Fashion Forward

Circular fashion is the next big wave — vintage repair, remade accessories from scrap materials, and gender-neutral designs are all gaining momentum. Young consumers increasingly value uniqueness and sustainability over brand names. Second-hand marketplaces and clothing rental services are also seeing record growth.

Interior 设计 Trends

Biophilic design — incorporating natural elements into living spaces — is surging. Houseplants, natural material furniture, and earth-toned color palettes create calming home environments. The “minimal but warm” Scandinavian aesthetic continues to dominate, balancing clean lines with cozy textures.

Lifestyle Shifts

Remote work has normalized “workations” and dual-life arrangements (city weekdays, countryside weekends). Subscription-based access to goods and services is replacing ownership, especially among younger generations. These shifts are reshaping consumer behavior and housing preferences.
