Consumer Technology Trends in 2027: Changes to Watch

AI Agents Take Over Daily Tasks: AI-powered phones and computers will move beyond answering questions to planning schedules, comparing prices, booking services, and completing everyday tasks with user permission.

Smartphones Get Smarter With On-Device AI: More AI features will run directly on smartphones and computers, helping users get faster responses, use features offline, and keep sensitive data on their devices.

Smart Glasses Challenge Phone Screens: Smart glasses, intelligent earbuds, and voice assistants will offer hands-free navigation, real-time translation, and quick access to information without constantly checking a phone.

AI Changes How People Shop Online: AI recommendations and shopping assistants are reshaping product discovery. NIQ reports that 55% of global consumers say AI recommendations influence their household and grocery purchases.

Home Robots Move Beyond Cleaning: Physical AI will help robots perform more practical tasks, from navigating homes and handling objects to supporting household routines and assisting with simple physical work.

Smart Homes Connect Everyday Devices: Connected appliances, security systems, energy controls, and entertainment devices will work more closely together. Better compatibility can make smart homes easier to manage and more useful.

Health Wearables Become More Advanced: Smartwatches, health bands, smart rings, and other wearables will increasingly use AI to analyse health patterns, monitor activity, and flag potential concerns. Medical claims still require careful verification.

Privacy Becomes a Major Buying Factor: As AI spreads across consumer devices, buyers will pay closer attention to data protection, security settings, and on-device processing. Clear privacy controls will become increasingly important.

Buyers Choose Value Over Extra Features: Consumers will increasingly compare performance, durability, repairability, energy savings, and long-term usefulness before upgrading. AI-powered PCs and efficient home appliances may attract buyers when benefits justify the price.
