Exploding Topics - ET: May 24th 2022

Presented By:

Hey,

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

Topic #1

Neckband Speaker

Neckband speakers are speakers that can be worn around the neck (their shape and size are similar to travel pillows).

While the product has technically existed for a while, the product category is currently surging due to the fact that a growing number of electronics brands plan to launch their own versions.

For example, Sony recently launched their own neckband speaker, which racked up quite a bit of buzz on Twitter and TikTok.

What's next:
Neckband speakers are part of the Wearable Speakers meta trend.

The demand for wearable speakers is driven mainly by the need for a more “ear-friendly” speaker system.

Earphones and headphones deliver great immersive sounds. But their potentially harmful effects on ear health are starting to deter people from using them.

And wearable speakers like neckband speakers, speaker bracelets or speaker rings serve as ear health-friendly alternatives to traditional headphones.

This is why the market for wireless wearable speakers is estimated to double by 2025.

Topic #2

EstateGuru

EstateGuru is a marketplace for facilitating property-backed loans.

Specifically, the marketplace focuses specifically on loans for SMEs in the EU.

According to the startup, their platform has been used to lend over 569M Euros via 3,659 funded loans.

What's next:
EstateGuru is part of the Real Estate FinTech meta trend.

FinTech is branching out from banks and starting to reduce inefficiencies in the real estate market.

This is why demand for FinTech applications in real estate has been growing to the point that many analysts predict that FinTech will be “the future of real estate”.

Conreit, AlphaFlow and Yourkeys are examples of trending real estate fintech startups.

Topic #3

Rytr

Rytr is an AI-powered writing assistant.

Besides proofreading and plagiarism checking, like many AI writing assistants, Rytr can create content based on a few descriptive sentences.

According to Rytr, their solution can “increase writing efficiency by 10x”.

The tool has over 1.25M users and supports 30 languages, as well as more than 20 writing tones.

What's next:
Rytr is part of the Next-Gen AI Writing meta trend.

Searches for “AI writing tool” have increased by 2400% in the last 24 months.

And this trend is likely to see even more growth when the highly-anticipated GPT-4 model becomes available.

GPT-4 is forecasted to have around 100 trillion parameters (parameters are to the GPT model what neurons are to the human brain), a 500X increase over GPT-3.

Topic #4

Scalp Serum

Scalp serums are conditioners designed to prevent hair damage, promote scalp skin health, and prevent dandruff.

The serum is also known for its relaxation properties.

One popular scalp serum generates approximately $11.2K/month on Amazon.

What's next:
Scalp serums are part of the Scalp Detox meta trend.

Searches for “scalp detox” have increased by 373% in the last 5 years.

A scalp detox refers to the process of using cleansers, moisturizers, and other products to clean the scalp.

Forbes projects scalp care to be one of the biggest emerging trends in the beauty market over the next few years.

In fact, scalp cleansing videos on TikTok have already racked up 1.6 billion views.
