How a kitchen appliance brand innovated products around usage behaviours

The Context

The innovation team of a global kitchen appliance brand wanted to rethink how products could better support emerging cooking behaviours and everyday needs. Rather than starting from existing product categories, the team aimed to observe how people's relationship with cooking was changing, understand new habits, motivations and pain points, and design products aligned with real usage contexts.

The Challenge

The team needed to monitor how cooking behaviours were evolving in everyday life, understand changing expectations around convenience, creativity and wellbeing, and translate behavioural insights into actionable product directions. Key areas included lifestyle changes affecting time, skills and motivations to cook, evolving usage contexts both at home and beyond, and new attitudes toward food, health and self-expression.

The Solution

Nextatlas created a bespoke behavioural intelligence framework focused on usage patterns and emerging needs. The solution enabled the team to identify early behavioural signals, map emerging needs across different usage moments, and translate behaviours into concrete product innovation opportunities, powered by 300K+ global early adopters and predictive indicators with up to 12 months of foresight.

The Impact

Identify new product concepts grounded in real-life behaviours
Improve relevance and adoption potential of innovation ideas
Reduce risk in early-stage product development
Build a repeatable method to inform future product innovation cycles
