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

Topic #1

Blue Light Sunscreen

Blue light sunscreen is designed specifically to reduce blue light exposure from screens.

These sunscreens contain iron oxide, an ingredient that’s especially potent at blocking blue light.

Demand for this product category is increasing mainly due to growing awareness of blue light’s impact on the skin.

In fact, a survey by Unilever found that 36% of Americans are aware that blue light exposure from screens can negatively impact skin health.

What's Next

Blue light sunscreen is part of the Blue Light Skincare meta trend.

Searches for “blue light skincare” have increased by 3x over the last five years.

This meta trend initially gained traction when Valkyrae, the currently most watched female streamer, launched RFLTC, a line of blue light skincare products.

Her product line went viral on TikTok with videos mentioning the products generating over 803 million views on the platform.

Although this product line ultimately failed, it kicked off interest in blue light protection products like blue light moisturizers and blue light serums.

Topic #2

Computational Thinking

Computational thinking is the process of breaking down a complex task so that computers can understand it.

This same approach is now being applied to human organizations.The idea being that breaking down a large task into several smaller tasks makes it easier for organizations to solve complex problems.

This practice has gained traction as many studies have found a strong relationship between computational thinking and increased academic performance.

What's Next

Computational thinking is part of the Microlearning meta trend.

Searches for “microlearning” have increased by 242% in the last five years.

Microlearning (also known as bite-size learning) is an educational approach using short, repetitive lessons.

Studies have shown that microlearning can help students retain up to 17% more information than traditional teaching methods.

While microlearning started in the education space, the practice is also emerging as an approach to improve employee training.

Code of Talent, Disprz and Xpeer are examples of trending microlearning platforms.

Topic #3

Papernest

Papernest is a contract and subscription management platform.

However, Papernest is mainly known for their moving-out management feature. This service allows people to move contracts (electricity, gas, internet, etc.) to their new location.

Basically, instead of dealing with each provider individually, people can use the service to move all their contracts over.

According to Papernest, their platform currently has over 1 million users.

What's Next

Papernest is part of the Personal Paperwork Management meta trend.

51% of Americans say they have unwanted subscriptions that they don’t cancel because of the hassle it involves.

This situation has created an opportunity for startups that offer automated paperwork management systems that enable people to change or cancel subscriptions with a click.

Simyra, Budg and Monarch are examples of trending personal paperwork management solutions.

Topic #4

Salmon Skin Chips

Salmon skin chips, as the name suggests, are chips made from upcycled salmon skin.

Salmon skin chips are trending mainly because they’re keto-friendly and protein-rich.

Interest in this product initially began as people started baking salmon skin chips at home.

However, a growing number of DTC startups launched their own salmon skin chips in order to meet increasing demand.

One example is GoodFish. The Bear Grylls-supported startup sells eight types of flavored salmon skin chips.

The startup has raised $4M in funding.

What's Next

Salmon skin chips are part of the Upcycled Snacks meta trend.

The upcycled food industry is forecasted to increase by more than 50% over the next 8 years.

Today, upcycled foods are only sold in 9,000 supermarkets in 10 countries — which indicates potential for significant future growth in this space.

For example, upcycled foods startup Renewal Mill says that they’ve already diverted over 100,000 lbs of food waste through their plant-based milk.

Whereas Pulp Pantry claims that they recovered over 50,000 lbs of food last year.
