Mobile payments
You yourself have noticed how quickly the number of smartphone users is growing. Experts believe that this market will continue to develop. In this regard, the promise of mobile payments is clearly manifested. The largest banks, Internet companies, new payment systems working with electronic currencies offer a lot of new services. This is just the beginning, mobile payments market participants are announcing new opportunities. The market is very promising because mobile accounts for a negligible percentage of the total mass of payments. Consumers have appreciated the convenience of these services and are eagerly awaiting new opportunities.
Internet of things
The first connection of an electrical appliance to the Internet took place in 1990. Now technology allows you to connect TVs, clocks, and electric lamps to the Internet. In Singapore, drivers use special radio keys to automatically pay for tolls on the road. The developers predict the emergence of new opportunities - for example, a refrigerator that orders missing products itself, vehicles that remind you of the need for preventive repairs or refueling. Experts believe that in the future, these technologies will firmly enter human life.
Big Data
Every day, netizens throw a huge amount of information into it. The developers offer an interesting approach to using our social media communication, data on preferences, habits, and every day worries. Fixing, analyzing, and archiving this information makes our life much easier and improves service in the service sector. In 2014, the insurance company Intouch offered to install special mobile applications that analyze the driving style of a motorist. For careful driving, users are offered discounts on insurance up to 20%. Big Data has prospects in many industries because it is possible to form offers of services and goods for the constant needs of the consumer, simply by analyzing the range of his interests and frequent purchases.
Massive open online courses
This knowledge acquisition system will soon replace traditional educational institutions. Already, the most advanced universities offer entire courses that can be listened to on the Internet for free. The resource savings and social value of this approach to knowledge delivery is enormous. A person just needs to have access to the network, and he can get any knowledge that was previously available to only a small part of children from wealthy families. Some universities offer students of these courses to take tests and issue official documents confirming their knowledge.
Online shopping and grocery delivery
In developed countries, this trend is developing very quickly and pushes traditional shopping trips out of the market. The ability to order products through a special service on the Internet and receive them via home delivery saves a lot of time. Retail chains are also happy to develop this area, because it allows you to reduce queues at the checkout and significantly reduce the cost of organizing work.
Portable gadgets
Sports bracelets have become widespread, which count the number of steps and distance during walking and running, monitor the pulse and other medical indicators. In the near future, developers predict the emergence of new smart gadgets - multifunctional watches, glasses, rings, and bracelets. The only problem that stands on the massive dissemination of modern technologies in this area is the too high cost of new products. While they are available to the most affluent consumers. But manufacturers are actively working to reduce the cost of smart gadgets because they can be used in almost all areas.
3D printing
Only the lazy have not heard of houses built using a 3D printer or have not read in the news. These technologies are actively used in Asia but are gradually entering the European market. With the help of three-dimensional printing, it will be possible to produce almost any non-food product. Already, we can say that this method of production has revolutionized and incredibly expanded the possibilities. Soon there will be dramatic changes in the labor market and in many industries. This technology allows not only to save on the cost of goods but also to produce things that, using traditional methods, did not even try to put into production.
Robots
Surely you have already seen presentation videos with new developments of scientists. The introduction of drones for the delivery of purchases is being discussed in all seriousness, cars appear that are controlled by an automated system and do not require active actions from the driver. Ideas from books in which a robot nanny takes care of babies, or a robot gardener takes care of the lawn near the house, no longer seem fantastic and imperceptibly enter our daily life. It is noteworthy that in the modern world, large capital is not needed to create a progressive robot - interesting startups appear every day that can not only greatly facilitate the life or work of people, but also revolutionize the perception of robotics.
Batteries
The sharp development and great prospects of this direction are noticeable even in everyday life. Devices that 5 years ago worked only after being connected to the power grid are now equipped with batteries. With the development of alternative energy sources, this area has become even more interesting, and promises great prospects for those who will be able to quickly restructure and start working with new technologies. The issue of preserving resources and creating new types of batteries that provide recharging without being tied to traditional energy sources is today recognized as one of the most urgent.
Commercial real estate in the regions
Modern offices and shopping centers are commonplace in megacities, but it is impossible to find a decent commercial property literally 100 km from big cities. The demand for this type of real estate in the regions is very high, the prospects are also increasing due to the relatively low cost of land plots. Experts argue that interest in this area is quite high, especially in medium-sized cities with a developing industry.
Smart materials
This direction covers many areas of the economy. Scientists are actively working to create super-strong, environmentally friendly and durable fabrics, building and industrial materials. Many people know how high the expectations are for nanoparticles capable of revolutionizing not only the economic, but also the medical sphere.
Components for cars
The demand for cars is growing relentlessly, with forecasts showing that this trend will continue in the coming decades. Manufacturers are constantly working on improving old models, creating new ones. If only very large companies can carry out the complete assembly of a car, then the production of various components is within the power of small enterprises. International corporations are happy to conclude contracts with contractors around the world, because this can significantly reduce the cost of cars.
Health care
With the development of technology and new discoveries of scientists, medicine is gaining more and more opportunities to cure diseases that were previously considered hopeless. At this stage, there is clearly a tendency to change the basic approaches to the organization of health care. Those who manage to embrace innovative approaches hold great promise.
Recycling
Environmental scientists literally scream that humanity is drowning and suffocating due to excess waste and irresponsible attitude towards their disposal. The emergence of new technologies for recycling waste into new products or energy sources has given the planet hope. In the coming decades, a sharp surge in activity in this direction is expected. New enterprises specializing in waste management and recycling are supported by governments, non-profit and public organizations, because their activities are extremely important for all of humanity.
Private alternative energy
An example is the appearance of solar panels in private households. As a rule, they fully meet the needs of the family; the surplus can be sold at affordable rates to neighbors. In many countries, city and street dwellers form associations and provide themselves with cheap energy. This tendency will develop, because people really need it.
Space
The development of technology is bringing a person closer to space. Space tourism, the possibility of creating settlements on other planets, flights to other galaxies are being discussed seriously. The prospects of this direction are extremely high, because the resource of our planet is not eternal. The super profits of companies working in this direction also confirm this.
Elderly care
The increase in the number of older people is a global trend. Modern medicine is making progress in the treatment of many diseases and saving lives, but has not yet found a recipe for prolonging youth. Services of services that assist the elderly in solving various domestic issues, providing patient care are in increasing demand, and this trend will continue.
Franchising
The advantages of this method of starting a business are so obvious that every year more and more businessmen prefer this particular option. For large companies, this development path is also more profitable. Experts say that the franchise market will grow. This will lead to an increase in the level of service, a decrease in the number of bankruptcies and the unemployment rate. Franchise offers are created not only by large companies. This method of development is also chosen by beginners who have achieved a certain degree of success and have tested their business model in practice. Often, a franchise is offered by companies that specialize in the implementation of modern technologies, mobile applications and other progressive areas.
Agriculture
Scientists argue that the role of agriculture will grow as the world's population grows. There are already very reasonable concerns about impending food shortages and the need to support more efficient farming practices. Along with this, active work is underway to develop environmentally friendly technologies. Those who manage to occupy this niche will soon find themselves in big gains. New discoveries make it possible to grow plants without soil, in an aquatic environment. Scientists are looking for new ways to replace hazardous pesticides with safer pest control products. There are many innovative and effective approaches to agriculture, it is only important to introduce them and earn money by reducing the cost of food.
Geological exploration
The issue of natural resources is very acute. Fortunately, the interior of the planet has not yet been fully explored, and every day there are reports of the discovery of a new field of oil, gas and other minerals. There is a real war for natural resources in the world, and those who are involved in the search and development of new deposits have great prospects for the future. But that's not all. Humanity is faced with the issue of rational use of resources and the search for new ways to extract them from the depths. The main task is to preserve nature as much as possible and not to destroy forests, the upper fertile soil layer.
