Future Forward, Episode 21 – Longevity optimizers are tracking everything. The impact on our category may surprise you!

Plaque disclosure is the pre-floss, pre-brush step that once digitally tracked, will be the cornerstone of longevity. Symrise’s Global Business Unit Oral Care and a futurologist dedicate four episodes to the impact of longevity on the oral care category. Each episode breaks down the megatrend of longevity into bitesize chunks. The big take away from the next ten minutes:  Plaque disclosure will get a make over. While this tech is in development, the immediate opportunity lies in more exciting formats (gels and sprays) as well as flavours to encourage uptake. As this isn’t strictly cleaning, we have more flavour freedom and can tap into nostalgia.Don’t miss out on the other three episodes to get the full story.The podcast is linked to a must-read newsletter for the oral care industry.

Future Forward, Episode 15 – Everything Is Wellness

Can oral care really embrace wellness? YES! We’re noticing housework being reframed as a daily reset and the big weekend clean as a weekly reset. A boomer would never have that perspective, but Gen Z and millennials do, so oral care MUST lean into this mindset and opportunity. After all, brushing your teeth before bed is an end-of-day reset.

Future Forward, Episode 14 – Oral Care, Wellness and Quiet

For the neuro-diverse population – those on the autism spectrum – the world can be a loud and overwhelming place. And when we think about flavour, we’re often thinking bigger, more impactful flavours. But does it have to be this way? In this episode we explore the allure of quiet in an increasingly noisy world, and we discover that the appeal of quiet is relevant to a wider audience than you might imagine. Quiet is an underplayed but essential component of wellbeing that is poised to transform new product development. ⸺ References: https://www.abettertomorrow-lidl.ie/autism-aware-store/ https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/07/business/gatorade-water-launch/index.html https://www.lion.co.jp/en/news/2022/4341 https://www.womenofwearables.com/blogwrite/clementine-and-haleon-collaborate-in-a-trial-to-add-mind-care-to-everyday-health-products https://www.miragenews.com/intermittent-silence-surprising-benefits-of-1039107/ ⸺ About Future Forward: Future Forward is a podcast from Symrise’s oral care flavour experts, exploring new ideas for the oral care category.
