In the ever-evolving world of technology and sustainability, several exciting developments are worth noting. Trendone analysts are currently discussing the advancements in bioengineering and the growing market for bioreactors, while the focus on 3D-printed housing continues to gain momentum.
One such pioneer in the 3D-printed housing industry is Lib Work, a Japanese company that has recently completed the Lib Earth House Model B. This remarkable residence is printed using earth, lime, and plant fibers, adhering to the principle of the circular economy. The unique selling point of the Lib Earth House Model B is its ownership and origin, which can be traced due to the NFT storage of its digital building plans. This innovative approach not only ensures authenticity but also offers a modern twist to property ownership.
Payments for the Lib Earth House Model B can be made with Bitcoin, further emphasising its forward-thinking approach.
Meanwhile, in the realm of food, green kiwis are making waves. Zespri, a New Zealand fresh fruit company, has received approval for a health claim for green kiwis, making them the first fresh fruit to pass the testing process of the European Food Safety Authority. TikTok is celebrating the valuable ingredients like vitamin C & B, minerals, and fiber found in green kiwis, and promoting their supposed sleep-promoting property due to the presence of the neurotransmitter serotonin.
The health claim for green kiwis is seen as a competitive advantage by industry experts like Megerle.
As we move towards a more automated future, AI is expected to play a significant role. Up to 30% of working hours could be automated by AI by 2030, particularly affecting administrative tasks, customer service, and production. The market for "Agentic AI" is expected to grow from around 7 billion US dollars in 2025 to over 42.5 billion US dollars by 2030.
Interestingly, AI is already being embraced by consumers. Already 39% of all consumers worldwide and 54% of Gen Z use AI agents for product discovery. TikTok, for instance, is utilising AI to recommend content and products to its users.
Successful menu creations made by users in the Taco Bell app may be added to the national menu and digital outdoor advertising. The US fast-food chain has introduced the 'Fan Style' function in its app, allowing users to create their own menu creations.
The Trendone trend researchers are tracking these societal, technological, and economic developments around the world, providing valuable insights into the future of innovation. The projected market for 3D-printed houses is expected to reach around 1.4 billion USD by the end of 2031, signalling a promising future for this sector.
In conclusion, the fusion of technology, sustainability, and innovation is shaping our world in profound ways. From 3D-printed eco-friendly homes to AI-assisted product discovery and health-promoting fruits, these developments are not just trends, but the building blocks of our future.
