What industries are growing crazy right now?

So I've begun the process of searching for problems I can solve. One of the first places I usually start is to think and research industries that are growing rapidly. Then dive deeper to understand niche challenges within those industries.

I'd like to know from the IH community, what industries do you think are really growing right now and what industries do you see set to take off in the near and distant future.

Right now I am looking deeply into the low-code no-code industry, CRM and HR industries. But a lot of this is biased as these are the industries I am most familiar with at the moment.

What do you think are the industries to watch right now?

    Cannabis
    AI
    Esports / gaming
    Data security / Cyber crime protection from breach
    Fintech

  2. 2

    I think the most trending industries are

    • AI
    • FinTech
    • EdTech

    The development of distance education requires more and more educational apps. Do you use Udemy, Coursera, TED talks or LinkedIn Academy? All of them help to improve professional skills remotely. EdTech industry connects all types of text, visual, audio and video content. It's relevant both for children and adults.

    I believe that's a great industry to start your own app.

    As for me, I was inspired by these 2 posts:

    The second post includes a financial estimate.

    So, I hope my advice will be helpful to you.

    • Privacy (especially email & comms)
    • SaaS abstraction (no-code)
    • Decentralization (mesh networking, TCP/IP alternatives)
  4. 2

    Most of these are very popular topics (with news coverage) and probably already "post takeoff" but might still see a lot of growth in the future: plant-based meat alternatives, cannabis, cryptocurrencies, digital payments, renewable energies. Also, autonomous driving, which has yet to take off.

    I think the industries like tech, AI, rgindustries.net etc. are more rapidly growing in the current world due to increase in consumer demand.

    Based on my own experience, I can highlight the following industry right now:
    1)Crypto
    2)Logistics
    3)Digital content
    4)And the last one, which I'm currently working in: e-learning. There is lots of demand for apps for distance learning. Not only for schools and universities, but even for companies to train their employees. If you like this idea, check out this guide on creating e-learning software:

    Just one more piece of advice. Engage in industry that you enjoy. Don't waste your time on boring things.

    1. YouTube Niche Entertainment — There’s still a shortage. We love to escape. Some YT shows have more viewers than scripted shows with 1% of the budget.
    1. No Code Tools.
    • Webflow
    • Zapier
    • Airtable
    1. Podcasts — It’s early days. New show formats are still emerging.

    Influencer marketing (micro-influencers), people wanting to be their own bosses, financial independence, passive income, investment strategies, financial education, eating healthy and health consciousness, group fitness, proptech, fintech, edtech, ai annotation, ai machine learning, ai vision, elderly care... there are so many growing topics! Such a cool time to start an online business :p
