Overview of Megatrends

Technology & innovation

Behind these buzzwords lies a whole range of trends such as "robotics", "Internet of Things", "artificial intelligence", "virtual and augmented reality" and "autonomous driving".

Lifestyle

Lifestyle is changing not only in terms of nutrition, but also in other areas such as fitness and body awareness. It is also becoming normal to share cars, workplaces, homes and much more ("sharing economy").

Health & preventive health care

Globally, society is becoming increasingly older. Companies that offer products related to medical care and support can benefit from this development.

Environment & clean energy

The massive expansion of renewable energy is necessary to achieve the targets set out in the Paris Climate Agreement ("climate challenge"). Other sub-trends are "smart cities", "water efficiency" and trends towards waste prevention.

Economic forces in transition

On average, the economies of Western countries are growing less rapidly than those of emerging markets. This development is being driven by the rapid growth in consumption and investment in the emerging markets.
