Around the world, we had eagerly awaited a simpler, post-pandemic period, but reality is sinking in that we are
not about to embrace a period of smooth sailing. We are embracing a world of faster paced change, political
and media polarity, supply chain woes, inflation, debt, and geopolitical conflict. That’s not the end of the
pandemic that most people wanted, but it Is the outcome that many frameworks predicted.
In my 2020 and 2021 world summit keynotes, I walked through 4 frameworks which each predict incremental
chaos, using 4 different approaches. I’ve detailed them in the extended cut of this letter (on the next page), but
the simplicity is that we expect more chaos, which for you, will equate to opportunity if you hunt the trends.
In these time periods of rapid change, consumer trends are your secret weapon. Those that study the trends
find themselves uncovering new insights, that lead to products and services for our evolving world.
In a time of chaos, the question of “what business are we in” becomes a CEO-level ‘problem’ and your answer
needs to derive from fresh, current research about what the consumers actually want and need. Based on our
study of 250,000,000 people, we are happy to present you with some of the freshest ideas across many
categories. Enjoy the report, and if you want to bring your inspiration to life, join us at Future Festival!
Let’s Create The Future.

Welcome to The New Era of Chaos
This report focuses on insights and OPPORTUNITIES, but in this current time period, I would be remised if I did not touch on the
broader global trends that are rattling our world. In my last Future Festival World Summit Keynote, I did this by exploring 4 different frameworks that help explain
our current reality. It seems that all 4 of these frameworks are aligned in predicting that there will more chaos, right now:
1. Our Post-Pandemic Chaos Framework – By studying past pandemics, from the Renaissance to the Spanish Flu, the key insight is that post-pandemic, we never
retreat the past, but we also don’t jump to the new normal. We enter an era of incremental chaos – The New Roaring 20s – where people make up for lost time
and competitors reveal new products. This theory predicts chaos from 2022 to 2032
2. Generational Theory and The Saeculums – We tend to think of the world in a linear way, and people miss out on all the patterns. But it wasn’t always that way.
The ancients studied generational patterns, which led to deep understanding of how the timing of your life, compared to major wars or chaos, results in a series
of patterns that impact each generation that follows. Applied to today, this theory predicts chaos from 2008 to 2028.
3. The Changing World Order – Ray Dalio’s work shows us that nations rise and fall, and if you analyze 8 different factors you can see, understand and predict
the rise and fall of empires over the span of a couple hundred years. That theory predicts increasing criss and tension between USA and China, and also
predicts rising inflation, a debt tsunami, increased money supply, polarity, a challenge to the reserve currency, and conflict.
4. The Accelerating Pace of Change – Last, in an accelerating world of technology, we expect Artificial Intelligence and the globalization of knowledge to make
the pace of human change not-so-human-at-all. This theory simply predicts that the next 3-5 years will have more innovation than the last 10.

AI
We are entering a transformative
new era, denoted by an exponential
growth in data, robotics and
intelligence.
Catalyzation
Brands have taken a role of
accelerating the personal
development of consumers.
Prosumerism
From user-generated content to
maker culture, today’s consumers
expect professional tools & services.
Curation
Hyper-targeted offerings, services,
subscriptions and recommendations
to simplify lives with better things.
Simplicity
In a fast-paced, cluttered world,
simplicity stands out, resulting in
focused businesses & clean design.
Instant Entrepreneurship
New services make it easier than
ever to conceptualize, fund, launch
and companies.
Co-Creation
Brands, products, services and
customers are increasingly co-
creating an interdependent world.
Hybridization
Lines are blurring as business
models, products and services
merge to create unique concepts
and experiences
Multisensation
Tech, AR, VR and interactive
experiences are raising our
expectations in the realms of
entertainment, retail and even food.
Youthfulness
The world is becoming more playful,
driven by generations not ready to
grow up, including Boomers who
desire a more active, enriched life.
Naturality
The desire for sustainable products,
including local, organic, recyclable
and pronounceable ingredients.
Nostalgia
Fond memories fuel a desire to bring
the past into the present, especially
with respect to one’s formative years.
Experience
In a world abundant with ‘stuff,’
experience becomes a more
important currency and life priority.
Gamification
The application of game dynamics
to real-world problems results in a
world that’s more competitive and
engaging.
Tribalism
Allegiant groups are more readily
formed around specific interests,
causes and even brands.
Many-to-Many
A mass proliferation of sellers and
media creators has shifted the
world to a many-to-many economy.
Personalization
Small batch production
technologies and more
personalized media are creating an
expectation for personalization.
Authenticity
Social media and a resistance to
traditional advertising have created a
desire for authenticity and reality.
We use our “insights” to identify pockets of opportunity.
To us, an insight is a cluster of several ideas that stand out
e.g. Gene-Personalized Products

Most people don’t internalize it,
but bedrock of every big idea is the consumer insight

Streaming: Blockbuster vs. Netflix

Electric Car: GM vs Tesla
Digital Cam: Kodak vs Canon
If you miss the insight, you fail. If you ‘get’ the insight, you thrive.

them.

Sports Inclusiono
The sports industry prioritizes inclusion-specific promotions and programs
Trend - Whether in ethnic diversity or women’s and LGBTQ+ rights, the sports industry is adapting to changing consumer expectations for standards of inclusion by creating programs and
promotions that promote equality. These emerging offerings speak to the industry’s growing desire to better reflect and cater to their audience.

individuals are more open about aspects of their identity like gender, sexuality, and/or ethnicity, they require that brands are able to reflect their preferences, rather than the
preferences of a select few. Additionally, today’s consumer is more educated on various social causes, and as a result expect that even the most traditional industries are adapting to
their more evolved perspectives on social issues.

Insight - Systemic issues that lead to racial, gender, and income inequality are particularly apparent when it comes to the health system in North America. Those who are affected by
these issues are increasingly demanding change in the form of spaces, platforms, and tools that are able to address these inequities--and some brands are starting to take note by
prioritizing accessibility in their products and services.

Insight - In North America, consumers are no longer satisfied with brands paying lip service to the values and causes they care about. Now, more people expect that businesses respond
effectively to social movements that are working towards equality, inclusion, and the accurate representation of minorities.

Trend - As consumers continue re-prioritizing their lives post-pandemic, they crave a more clear sense of purpose in their work. One way to achieve this in the workplace is by offering a
more comprehensive DEI strategy. Diversity, equity, and inclusion have become all the more important to consumers seeking ways to make the world a better place on a daily basis.
Insight - The past couple of years of the pandemic have also ushered in a political reckoning, where consumers are more reflective of their place in a society that is often unjust. This
creates a sense of responsibility to try to positively impact society in as many ways as possible. Short of working in the actual social good space, integrating these beliefs into the
workplace can be difficult; employers would do well to build DEI strategies that ensure the workplace remains inclusive and equitable, while also helping employees do right in their daily
lives.

Insight - The pandemic had a significant impact on consumers' makeup and skincare preferences and rituals, with social media trends, mask-wearing, and a skin-first focus prompting
consumers to turn to lightweight formulas and subtle beauty looks. As pandemic rituals and habits linger among consumers in a post-pandemic world, consumers turn to brands that

are able to independently put on these items, while ensuring a comfortable fit.
Insight - Accessibility in all aspects of life is important for the wellbeing of people with disabilities, and the current reality is that most industries and services remain inaccessible for these
communities. This is shifting as people with disabilities and their allies increasingly voice their needs and work towards inclusion for themselves and others. Some brands are now taking

Insight - As sustainability becomes a key selling point for consumers, and consumers become more educated in this space, they're no longer satisfied with brands paying lip service to
environmental protection. In order to sell sustainability in a way that consumers view as trustworthy, identifying specific elements in products and services that are sustainable makes it
more clear for consumers who want to be eco-friendly.

Trend - Skincare and cosmetic products that are formulated for the body are now touting their "blurring" benefits. Blurring products have become popular for the face, and they're now
extending to the body as consumers seek out effortless, "filtered" looks with makeup.
Insight - Social media has had an enormous impact on cosmetic trends, and the beauty filters that are popular on social apps have made products (and even procedures) that imitate
these looks popular. Brands that are able to effectively replicate these virtual experiences in-person are able to draw in Gen Z consumers in-particular.

more playful looks are intended to help consumers express themselves after several months of mask use and limited social interactions.
Insight - Consumers are increasingly excited to get back to pre-pandemic routines, and are increasingly hopeful that things are changing for the better. For young Millennials and Gen Z,

Insight - The growing focus on wellness and more specifically, mental health, comes as people deal with the stress of the pandemic, rising costs, climate change and various political and

Trend - The United States, the healthcare system tends to be discriminatory--particularly towards Black Americans and more specifically, Black women. Some brands are aiming to
mitigate these issues with platforms, tools and funding that help promote inclusion in the healthcare industry.
Insight - In the U.S. healthcare system, Black women have a higher chance of mortality during childbirth, are less likely to be believed when they have symptoms of pain and illness, and
generally have less access to inclusive and comprehensive healthcare. As this discrimination becomes more apparent and activists in this space push for change, some businesses are
trying to make healthcare more accessible for this demographic.

remain the same, the need for it continues to grow as people's mental health suffers.
Insight - Consumers' screentime has gone up, and social media platforms are known for spreading negative information due to the higher engagement it receives. This combination has
had an impact on people's mental health, and more consumers are now looking for ways to break their digital habits in order to improve their mood and stress levels.

Insight - The various long-term stresses North Americans have faced in recents years--including the ongoing pandemic and its restrictions, financial stressors and burnout--has resulted in
more consumers turning to self-soothing practices. The popularity of the wellness industry has blossomed as a result, and has made more businesses take inspiration from this space.

Trend - The "wellness" industry, which encompasses innovative self-care practices that prioritize mental and physical health, is now offering products and services that are specifically
designed for people with disabilities. This shift includes everything from intimacy toys to VR-based fitness programs that are designed for individuals who deal with accessibility issues.
Insight - In recent years, consumers in North America have become more vocal about inclusion and how important it is to cater products, services, and marketing to people in a way that
prioritizes underserved consumers. In particular, many people with disabilities face accessibility concerns in their everyday routines, and activists and allies in this space are increasingly
pushing for adequate represention for both personal needs and luxuries.

Trend - Consumers are growing weary of the aspiration-focused approach to fitness of the past, and body neutrality is a perfect alternative. The movement focuses on fitness as a way to
celebrate one's current body (as opposed to fitness as a way to change the body) as a more positive way to approach physical wellness.
Insight - The idea of working out to "look good" is outdated in a world where diversity and inclusivity are celebrated, as it enforces unrealistic and often harmful beauty standards. This
does not suit the contemporary consumer, especially post-pandemic when many are re-prioritizing happiness and peace as opposed to aspiration and accomplishment. Ultimately, the
body neutrality movement is a result of a redefinition of "wellness" that focuses on both mental and physical health.

technology to create musical experiences with their products.
Insight - Interactive product experiences are intriguing for customers for their ability to offer something new, and they often create lasting impressions on consumers. These experiences
are especially appealing when they're seamlessly integrated into the purchase journey or the product itself--preventing consumers from having to go out of their way to engage with the
brands in question.

to push the limits of traditional architecture with physics-bending designs.
Insight - The metaverse is a space where the imagination can run wild and concoct structures that are otherwise impossible in the physical world. Consumers are turning to the digital
space for content that fulfills their desire for the fantastical. Digital infrastructure is, therefore, being built using cutting-edge technology to provide visual stimulation and appease the

Insight - Forward-thinking businesses are appealing to consumers, at first, for their novelty. When a brand is one of the few or first to do something, customers feel a sense of pride in
attaching themselves to its innovations, as long as they have the potential to be ubiquitous.

framed display screens to holographic display cubes.
Insight - For consumers who are new to NFTs, the non-tangible aspect of these data units makes understanding their benefits confusing. This shift has resulted in brands looking for ways
to make NFT ownership more accessible and easier to understand, and the ability to display NFT artwork is a step in that direction.

Trend - Negative headlines generate clicks and views for news and content organizations, but some brands are moving away from the increasingly intense focus on negative content
output with platforms that do the opposite. News aggregators and social media platforms are included in this shift.
Insight - The ubiquity of social media platforms has made negativity in the news and in content-based sites more impactful. With news and content cycles being 24 hours and also difficult
to avoid because of smartphones, people are more likely to experience stress that's linked to social and political issues occurring globally (and their constant access to it). Now, more are
turning to alternatives or "digital detoxing" in order to mitigate the impact of negative news cycles on their wellbeing.

Insight - Diversity and inclusion in the hiring process has become extremely important in North America as studies and personal experiences show that there are biases against different
demographics that prevent them from accessing job opportunities. Now, more businesses are aiming to be inclusive in their hiring practices in order to retain more diverse and

Insight - As consumers become more vocal about their needs and preferences, brands are recognizing that one-size-fits-all approaches to retail, products, services and production are no

personal status have forced brands to prioritize the same--with new business models that run on accessibility and innovation instead of exclusion.

Insight - Food trends on TikTok, sometimes called 'FoodTok,' are introducing a new era of foodie-ism for a younger generation. This is no coincidence; the pandemic-induced lockdown
increased both screentime and interest in cooking across generations. This hybridization of interests has resulted in a new generation of foodies who are interested in uncomplicated, but
delicious DIYs that use pre-made ingredients, and can be showcased in short video clip-format tutorials.

representation for them. The diversity of North America is often not well-represented, but underserved demographics are increasingly being heard in their calls for inclusion.

Before publishing, Trend Hunter articles are
categorized based on the age, gender and location
of the trend’s target demographic.
During the crowd-filtering process, Trend Hunter
articles are tracked and scored based on three
metrics: Popularity (number of views), Activity
(engagements) and Freshness (recency).
Trend Hunter’s AI also tracks the paths users take
from article to article to identify connected ideas
that might be otherwise overlooked.

    Around the world,we had eagerly awaited a simpler, post-pandemic period, but reality is sinking in that we are not about to embrace a period of smooth sailing. We are embracing a world of faster paced change, political and media polarity, supply chain woes, inflation, debt, and geopolitical conflict. That’s not the end of the pandemic that most people wanted, but it Is the outcome that many frameworks predicted. In my 2020 and 2021 world summit keynotes, I walked through 4 frameworks which each predict incremental chaos, using 4 different approaches. I’ve detailed them in the extended cut of this letter (on the next page), but the simplicity is that we expect more chaos, which for you, will equate to opportunity if you hunt the trends. In these time periods of rapid change, consumer trends are your secret weapon. Those that study the trends find themselves uncovering new insights, that lead to products and services for our evolving world. In a time of chaos, the question of “what business are we in” becomes a CEO-level ‘problem’ and your answer needs to derive from fresh, current research about what the consumers actually want and need. Based on our study of 250,000,000 people, we are happy to present you with some of the freshest ideas across many categories. Enjoy the report, and if you want to bring your inspiration to life, join us at Future Festival! Let’s Create The Future. Jeremy Gutsche CEO of Trend Hunter NY Times Bestselling Author & Keynote Speaker – JeremyGutsche.com Welcome to The New Era of Chaos
  • 3.
    This report focuseson insights and OPPORTUNITIES, but in this current time period, I would be remised if I did not touch on the broader global trends that are rattling our world. In my last Future Festival World Summit Keynote, I did this by exploring 4 different frameworks that help explain our current reality. It seems that all 4 of these frameworks are aligned in predicting that there will more chaos, right now: 1. Our Post-Pandemic Chaos Framework – By studying past pandemics, from the Renaissance to the Spanish Flu, the key insight is that post-pandemic, we never retreat the past, but we also don’t jump to the new normal. We enter an era of incremental chaos – The New Roaring 20s – where people make up for lost time and competitors reveal new products. This theory predicts chaos from 2022 to 2032 2. Generational Theory and The Saeculums – We tend to think of the world in a linear way, and people miss out on all the patterns. But it wasn’t always that way. The ancients studied generational patterns, which led to deep understanding of how the timing of your life, compared to major wars or chaos, results in a series of patterns that impact each generation that follows. Applied to today, this theory predicts chaos from 2008 to 2028. 3. The Changing World Order – Ray Dalio’s work shows us that nations rise and fall, and if you analyze 8 different factors you can see, understand and predict the rise and fall of empires over the span of a couple hundred years. That theory predicts increasing criss and tension between USA and China, and also predicts rising inflation, a debt tsunami, increased money supply, polarity, a challenge to the reserve currency, and conflict. 4. The Accelerating Pace of Change – Last, in an accelerating world of technology, we expect Artificial Intelligence and the globalization of knowledge to make the pace of human change not-so-human-at-all. This theory simply predicts that the next 3-5 years will have more innovation than the last 10.
