Spot The Trends Report

Spot The Trends Report is a review of the insights from around the world that shaped the last year and the first quarter of 2020.  

The report

The purpose of the report is to listen better to the collective global voice of our users to better understand their needs and emerging trends as well as to spot promising startups across the world.  The data collected and validated throughout the last half a year can be a perfect source of information for investors’ community, established companies and startup ecosystem to be on top of the worlds’ trends.

In this year's edition we will be including insights from 2019. We also added the impact of Q1 2020 focusing on trends that did not witness substantial decline, are still growing strongly or in some cases started growing even faster.

How did we conduct the research?

Our Google team, together with local investors, reviewed thousands of global Google queries from the last 12 months to decipher and understand the ever-changing world of accelerating trends. We analyzed queries which were growing at least 30% for the last two years. The report was created in cooperation with: Alfabeat, ARIA, Experior Venture Fund, Inovo Venture Partners, Market One Capital, MCI Capital, SpeedUp Group .
