consumerize

Adapt for buyers

Consumerize means to adapt a product, technology, or service so it appeals to ordinary consumers rather than specialists or businesses.

The term emerged as enterprise technologies like smartphones and cloud storage became mainstream household items.

When something gets consumerized, it typically becomes simpler, cheaper, and more user-friendly: Companies consumerized artificial intelligence by building it into everyday apps.

The related noun consumerization describes this broader trend of professional tools becoming accessible to the general public.
