Exploding Topics - ET: May 17th 2022

Presented By:

Hey,

Here’s this week’s list of rapidly trending topics, insights and analysis.

Topic #1

Chunky Gold

Chunky gold refers to very thick jewelry made from gold or gold plating.

This category comes in many forms, such as chunky gold earrings, chunky gold necklaces and chunky gold bracelets.

These products are currently trending largely due to TikTok. In fact, the #chunkyrings hashtag has over 33 million views on the platform.

What's next:
Chunky gold is part of the TikTok Products meta trend.

We’re seeing a growing number of niche products start to trend thanks to exposure on TikTok.

Examples of trending TikTok products include:

The curling headband is a fashion item that also curls. One video featuring the product has over 334K likes.

The skin therapy wand is trending largely because of NuDerma, a skin wand brand. The #nuderma hashtag has over 5.7 million views.

The eye brightener search keyword has multiple videos with over 1 million views on TikTok.

Topic #2

uMobix

uMobix is a parental content control software made specifically for tablets and smartphones.

uMobix monitors more than 30 popular social media platforms and other popular apps.

The solution’s “stealth mode” makes it popular among parents that don’t want their children to know that they are being monitored.

What's next:
uMobix is part of the Smart Social Media Controls meta trend.

86% of parents actively try to limit their kids’ social media usage. Typically, parents either ban or restrict the time spent on devices.

But, as the New York Times reports, the rise of remote schooling has acted as a “gateway drug” to social media for many children.

Which is why parents are increasingly turning to monitoring software.

Topic #3

Date Syrup

Date syrup is a sweet syrup extracted by boiling dates.

The product, popular in Middle Eastern cuisine, is rich in zinc, magnesium, and calcium.

And date syrup has gained recent traction as a healthier alternative to sugar.

For example, a highly rated date syrup brings in an estimated $23K/month on Amazon.

What's next:
Date syrup is part of the Organic Sugar Substitute meta trend.

Use of many traditional sugar alternatives, such as agave syrup and artificial sweeteners, is rapidly declining.

This has left a vacuum of demand for natural, organic and relatively healthy sugar alternatives.

Palmyra blossom nectar and yacon syrup are two examples of trending sugar alternatives.

Topic #4

FlutterFire

FlutterFire is a set of plugins that allow Flutter apps to use Firebase services.

These plugins allow Flutter apps to use the Firebase UI toolkit faster.

The service currently offers 14 Flutter plugins. And are Beta testing several other plugins.

FlutterFire has over 6,500 stars on GitHub.

What's next:
FlutterFire is part of the Open-Source UI Toolkits meta trend.

Open-source UI toolkits are forecasted to grow faster than traditional UI services.

Examples of trending open-source UI toolkits include:

Cefpython provides Python bindings for the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). The project has over 2,600 stars on GitHub.

Walk UI is a GUI toolkit specifically for Go. Walk UI is one of the most popular open-source UI projects and has over 6,000 stars on GitHub.

Nana GUI is a GUI library for C++. The project has over 2,000 Github stars.
