Statista Trend Compass 2020
The only constant in our world is change. And the speed of change has been accelerating significantly over the last years, fueled by massive investments in technology and science, easier access to truly global markets, and a general cultural shift towards innovation – among other key drivers.
Those who really understand these changes, who adapt to them and find solutions to changing customer needs based on innovative products and services, will benefit immensely. Those who lack understanding of those changes, who postpone key decisions, or who fail in launching and scaling innovations, will fall behind and vanish. The most prominent development of this accelerating war for innovations is the severe decline of the average lifespan of S&P 500 companies, which has been going down from 90 years in 1935 to currently only 18 years – with 75 percent of current S&P 500 companies expected to disappear until 2027, according to research by McKinsey.
This TrendCompass aims at providing facts necessary to understand these market dynamics and to capitalize on them, presenting the 12 global key trends that will shape our future over the next years.
