The report explores a vast and fascinating territory – the human body – and the implications of emerging nuances around beauty, gender, sexuality and health.

The Future of the Body report, carried out by the Milan office of the FutureBrand network, unpacks the implications for brands navigating this new territory, taking into account expertise across the fields of marketing, business, philosophy and medicine.


The result is five key macro-trends that we believe businesses in the space should keep in mind. Throughout the report, there are examples of brands, both big and small, who we think are capable of becoming pioneers in this space.

Future of Body 2

We are particularly proud to release our report this year. Treating such a sensitive topic as the future of the body, we are aware of the responsibility we - as brand consultants - have towards our clients when shaping the strategy for their brands. In doing so, we make our part in the evolution process that will lead us all towards a future where inclusivity and equality are a reality. Brands need to do their part, and some already are. We hope that the insights provided by our report serve as a guide to making their brands future-proof.
