In the ever-evolving world we live in, understanding the trends that shape our future is crucial. That's where the trend researchers from Trendone in Hamburg come in, tracking social, technological, and economic developments around the globe.

One of the sectors that is expected to see significant growth is Bioengineering. The market for bioreactors is projected to reach an impressive 14.6 billion US dollars by 2035. Meanwhile, the market for 3D-printed houses is also on the rise, with projections suggesting it will reach around 1.4 billion USD by the end of 2031.

A prime example of this trend is Lib Work, a Japanese housing company that builds 3D-printed houses. What sets Lib Work apart is their integration of Bitcoin as a payment method and the use of NFTs to secure house designs on the blockchain. This innovative approach reduces costs and bureaucracy, while promoting sustainability by leveraging cutting-edge technology in real estate.

The Lib Earth House Model B, for instance, is printed using earth, lime, and plant fibers, aligning with the principles of the circular economy. The digital building plans for this model are stored as NFTs, making ownership and origin traceable.

The trend analysts from Trendone also address the growing market for Agentic AI, which is estimated to grow from around 7 billion US dollars in 2025 to over 42.5 billion US dollars by 2030, with a growth rate of 43.6%. Already, 39% of all consumers worldwide and 54% of Gen Z use AI agents for product discovery.

However, the rise of AI also brings challenges. Up to 30% of working hours could be automated by AI by 2030, particularly affecting administrative tasks, customer service, and production. This shift could lead to increased efficiency but also raises concerns about job displacement.

In a bid to combat the growing issue of loneliness across all age groups, the trend analysts discuss the importance of fostering social connections. On a lighter note, they also discuss the emergence of "Happiness Treats", a pleasure culture that rewards or helps stress management through "snacking".

In the realm of nutrition, Kiwis are making waves. Not only are they rich in vitamin C, B, minerals, and fiber, but they have also passed the testing process of the European Food Safety Authority to claim a health advantage. Moreover, Kiwis are believed to have a sleep-promoting property due to the presence of the neurotransmitter serotonin.

The New Zealand fresh fruit company Zespri has received approval for a health claim for green kiwis, making them a competitive choice in the market. Kiwis are also celebrated on TikTok for their health benefits and unique taste.

In conclusion, the future is brimming with exciting developments in various sectors, from Bioengineering and AI to 3D-printed housing and nutrition trends. As we navigate these changes, it's essential to stay informed and adapt to these trends to thrive in the future.
