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

Topic #1

Under Eye Patches

Under-eye patches are small masks that make eyes look well-rested by reducing dark circles.

These patches often contain high concentrations of ingredients (like hyaluronic acid, retinol, collagen, caffeine and niacinamide) that improve skin health and appearance.

One highly-popular pack of collagen-based under-eye patches brings in around $6K/day on Amazon.

What's Next

Under-eye patches are part of the Eye Therapeutics meta trend.

Dry eye syndrome is on the rise. Approximately 15% of the US population now suffers from this problem.

The reasons? An older population (approximately 18% of adults over the age of 75 suffer from chronic dry eyes). Also, people are spending more time in front of screens, which is quickly becoming a leading cause of dry eyes across age groups.

Which is why we’re seeing increased demand for eye therapeutics.

Examples of in-demand eye therapeutics include heated eye masks, eye compressors and eye massagers.

Topic #2

FastAPI

FastAPI is a framework for developing APIs with Python 3.6+.

It is the third-fastest Python web framework, behind Scarlette and Uvicorn.

Simplicity and speed are the main reasons behind this framework's growth.

(In fact, this is why Netflix uses FastAPI for internal crisis management.)

The project has over 52,000 stars on GitHub.

What's Next

FastAPI is part of the Python Web Framework meta trend.

Python is on track to become the #1 programming language in the next few years.

Over the past five years, Python grew by approximately 19%, helping it become the 3rd most used language.

And Python is already the most popular language in terms of how often tutorials are searched for in Google.

Easy to learn, a wide range of applications, and a growing number of development resources are the primary reasons behind this trend.

Two of the top trending Python web frameworks are Pyramid and Dash.

Topic #3

Weighted Stuffed Animals

Weighted stuffed animals are plush toys that weigh significantly more than traditional stuffed animals (typically between 2 and 5 pounds.)

Certain studies suggest that heavy stuffed animals can initiate a relaxation response, which can help children with ADHD and anxiety. This use case is the main reason that this product category is taking off.

In fact, one highly-rated weighted stuffed animal generates around $58K/month on Amazon.

What's Next

Weighted stuffed animals are part of the Deep Pressure Simulation meta trend.

Around 10% of US children suffer from ADHD, whereas another 7% suffer from anxiety.

And parents are increasingly turning to deep pressure simulation as a natural treatment option.

Sensory swings and sensory socks are examples of trending deep pressure products.

Topic #4

AML Software

Anti-money laundering (AML) software analyzes customer data and detects suspicious transactions.

According to the UN, 2%-5% of the global GDP is laundered each year.

And 90% of money laundering crimes go undetected.

AML software helps detect money laundering while complying with data and privacy regulations.

Sanction Scanner, Sentinels and ComplyAdvantage are examples of trending AML software startups.

Overall, the AML software market is forecasted to grow 4x over the next eight years.

What's Next

AML software is part of the eKYC meta trend.

eKYC refers to any digital “know your customer” system.

Overall, the market for eKYC solutions is forecasted to grow 3x in the next four years.

In addition to KYC software itself, anti-money laundering (AML) software and politically exposed person (PEP) software are examples of tools that make up an eKYC system.
