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

Topic #1

Dog Talking Buttons

Dog talking buttons are recordable buttons that play a word or phrase when pressed.

This way, dogs can “speak” to their owners.

For example, a dog’s owner can record the phrase “ball” onto a button. The dog can learn which button says the word “ball,” and thus, press that button whenever they want a ball.

Interest in this product category initially grew because dogs using these buttons to communicate with their owners went viral on TikTok.

This interest led to a growing number of DTC startups launching dog talking buttons.

In fact, one popular set of talking buttons brings in approximately $65K/month on Amazon.

What's Next

Dog talking buttons are part of the Pets of TikTok meta trend.

TikTok has become home to a massive online pet community.

The hashtag #petsoftiktok has over 67 billion views on the platform.

Examples of TikTok-viral pet products include dog bed stairs and pet odor eliminator sprays.

Topic #2

TinyML

TinyML is a technique that shrinks deep learning networks to fit onto small hardware.

This process takes edge computing to the extreme by allowing small devices to quickly process data without experiencing latency issues.

Approximately 15.2 million units of TinyML chipsets were shipped two years ago. This number is forecasted to grow to 1.2 billion units this year (a 164x increase.)

What's Next

TinyML is part of the Edge Computing meta trend.

Edge computing is when data is processed locally (for example, by a nearby device vs. being sent to the cloud.)

Some of the advantages of edge computing include improved privacy, security, latency and load balancing.

Overall, the edge computing market is forecasted to grow 7x by 2028.

Topic #3

Psychobiotics

Psychobiotics are bacteria that impact the bacterial-brain relationship.

Probiotics and prebiotics are both examples of psychobiotics.

Certain studies have linked consuming psychobiotics to better sleep quality, lower stress levels and improved mood.

Rising levels of stress and anxiety have also fueled increased interest in psychobiotic products.

Furthermore, demand for psychobiotics is expected to grow considerably as over 50 million Americans already suffer from various sleep disorders. And, according to the National Institute of Health, this number is set to increase in the coming years.

In fact, one popular psychobiotic generates approximately $250K/month on Amazon.

What's Next

Psychobiotics are part of the Microbiome Therapeutics meta trend.

The number of microbiome therapeutics studies published increased by 15% last year, suggesting that the space is getting more attention.

Synbiotics, prebiotics and postbiotics are examples of trending microbiome therapeutics.

And it’s looking like this space has plenty of future growth — the market for microbiome therapeutics is expected to increase 10x over the next five years.

Topic #4

OTT Platform

OTT (“over-the-top”) platforms are media services that bypass traditional content distribution channels (TV, radio, cable, etc.).

Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu are examples of well-known OTT platforms.

But interest in this product category is trending mainly due to niche media brands launching their own streaming services.

These brands are increasingly choosing pre-built OTT platforms because they handle payments, membership levels, content recommendations, streaming and ad delivery.

OTT video remains the most popular type of OTT platforms. There will be approximately 3.28 billion OTT video users by the end of this year (up from 3.08 billion in 2021).

Other types of trending over-the-top platforms include OTT stories, OTT movies and OTT shows.

What's Next

OTT platforms are part of the Personalized Content meta trend.

Searches for “personalized content” have increased by 83% over the last 24 months.

75% of consumers have tried a new shopping behavior in the past year, illustrating that consumer loyalty is up for grabs.

And content personalization is emerging as a way to both attract new customers and retain existing ones.

In fact, companies that personalize digital content see higher consumer repurchase rates (81% compared to 74% for companies that don’t personalize.)
