Trends Identified
Ethical choices
Sustainability and ethics are growing and, arguably, necessary trends. Insects far outnumber livestock (in 2013, the UN suggested crickets could help stabilize the world food supply6) and don’t produce methane (unlike cows). Soylent’s meal-replacing drinks are vegan, and the precision of 3D-printed food reduces waste.

The rise and rise of emerging markets
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the 21st century will be marked by the dominance of emerging markets. Already a force to reckon with, emerging markets will in the next years become equal competitors with mature markets and command more economic and political power. As trade and investment occur across emerging markets, newly emerging markets will flourish. An explosive combination of large, young increasingly educated and urban populations with greater levels of disposable income (e.g., in Indonesia) and (or) natural resources (e.g., in Nigeria) is propelling newly emerging markets forward. The latter have provided the more established emerging markste with investment opportunities.

Increasing focus on resource efficiancy and climate change
In a global marketplace, "green" may well become the new global language. Worldwide, the pace of legislation and policy initiatives focused on green issues is clearly picking up Between July 2008 and February 2009, for example, 250 climate-change regulations were enacted globally as governments, both emerging and developed, hastened the implementation of policies to support clean technologies (cleantech). Mandatory standards on efficient energy consumption, biofuels, vehicle emissions and eco-labeling are going into effect in greater numbers than in previous years.
