Big Needs in Small Families: Multi-Functional Integrated Sets Lead Customization Trend, How Can Nail Clippers Fit the 2.6-Person Average Household?--Yangjiang Nail Clipper Customization Factories
Space Adaptability: Due to limited living space, products that are "small in size and easy to store" are needed to avoid the loss of scattered traditional tools.
Functional Complexity: Although the number of family members is small, there are multiple usage scenarios (needs for adults, children, the elderly, or nail art), requiring "one set for multiple uses".
Cost-Effectiveness: Redundant functions are rejected, and precise products with "sufficient functions and matching prices" are required.
Functional Modularization: Basic modules plus extended modules (such as children's clippers and elderly-specific clippers) for customized matching based on needs.
Integrated Storage: Mini magnetic storage boxes (mostly smaller than 10cm×5cm×3cm) to adapt to small spaces. The search volume for "foldable storage" sets increased by 230% in 2024.
Scenario-Adapted Details: Two-tone handles for distinguishing use between couples, safety locks for children's models, and compliant materials for travel-friendly models.
Product Design: Mini card-style storage (thinner than 2cm, portable in wallets); "dual-head clippers" suitable for adults + children/the elderly; addition of safety buckles and rounded storage boxes.
Functional Configuration: Elimination of low-frequency tools like tweezers, retention of core functions (cutting, filing, trimming); addition of mini cuticle pushers and nano glass files; emergency guides printed on storage boxes + slots for disinfectant wipes.
Pricing Strategy: Basic models priced at 19-29 yuan (for single-person/two-person households); upgraded models at 39-49 yuan (for families with children/the elderly); promotion of offers like "buy 2 get 1 free".
The rise of small families is a microcosm of the shift in consumption towards "personalization and precision". The nail clipper industry needs to move from "selling tools" to "providing care solutions". Although it will face challenges such as "aesthetic economy" and "intelligent connectivity" in the future, "taking the needs of small families as the core" remains the key to gaining a firm foothold.
