Due to a lack of innovation since the postwar 1950′s era, the very phrase ‘Home of the Future’ conjures up retro images of everything from The Jetsons to Presidents Khrushchev and Nixon bickering over which superpower could boast the best kitchen at the notorious American National Exhibition in Moscow in 1959.

Whilst obesity is a global issue, initiatives like the Singaporean government’s campaign to highlight the dangers of popular greasy and salty hawker foods are all contributing to the overall awareness of the need for a healthier lifestyle and body image. One of the trends growing out of this movement is fruit and veg, or rather the detox juices that are made from them.CONTINUE READING: http://www.mintel.com/blog/drink-market-news/singapore-detox-diets-just-a-little-crush

For many of today’s kids, their smartphone is at the centre of their life. But without a payment card, it can be hard to make the most of the new digital world. London-based start-up company, Osper, has created a mobile-only banking service for children aged 8-18. By combining a prepaid debit card and a smartphone app, it caters to both young people and parents alike, by giving children the freedom and experience of managing their money, while parents can monitor and control their children’s spending.CONTINUE READING: http://www.mintel.com/blog/finance-market-news/debit-card-for-kids-of-the-digital-generation

In the past few years, children’s personal care (CPC) product sales have fluctuated greatly, with total US retail sales reaching $686 million in 2013.
