Reluctance is the primary driver for many of us this year
Coming out from the shock of the last two years, people are still reluctant in many areas, divided between the two ideas of wearing a face covering or going ahead uncovered.
To touch the communal door handles or not. Many businesses may now consider an option to keep an automatic sensor-enabled door. Single-use sheets or do curbside pickups. Home delivery is the key in 2022 and beyond. That’s what our observation has taught us.
Health and hygiene consciousness among the people pre-2019
Before Dec 2019, many people cared less about hygiene. After 2019 most of us had a life lesson sitting at home. Businesses are still thinking and pivoting from single-use plastic to more environmentally friendly options such as wooden forks, paper straws, and other similar items and getting ready for the plastic tax to arrive.
