We're no traditional trend firm

We're no traditional trend firm

We're grounded in purpose and it's our mission to inspire you to take action on the endless amounts of meaningful business opportunities we scan the world for every day – through our Trend Intelligence Platform, our Keynotes and workshops, our Trend Seminars – or via our Free Trend Updates.

Our mission

As one of the world’s leading consumer trend firms since 2002, TrendWatching is purpose-built to guide, inspire and empower business professionals – whether they're marketers, creatives, strategists, entrepreneurs or innovators – to bring to market more sustainable and impactful innovations that benefit all, not the few. 

To achieve this, we deliver Free Trend Updates to over 100,000 trend-driven professionals worldwide and offer a number of dedicated trend services.

Our teams in Amsterdam, Berlin, Singapore, London, Rio de Janeiro, Barcelona and New York relentlessly scan the globe to spotlight countless meaningful trends and innovations – supported by a network of 900+ spotters in over 90 countries.

Our methodology

Guiding our work is our proprietary Purpose-Driven Innovation (PDI) methodology: a core analytical framework that turns trends into meaningful business opportunities. It's designed to guide professionals and the wider world in both identifying and acting on them.

2023-2030

Finding ourselves in one of the most transformational and crucial decades ever, we are determined to partner with future-obsessed professionals to make a meaningful difference in the coming seven years.
