Specifically, the product helps to give the skin a “plump” look while also extending the wear time of foundation and concealer makeup.

Videos about plump primers have over 2.7 billion views on TikTok.

Interest in this product category is growing largely due to the brand Nyx.

Searches for “Nyx plump primer” have increased by 2800% over the past five years.

Nyx’s plump primer generates around $31K/month on Amazon.

What's Next

Topic #2

Sentinel AI

Sentinel is a visual deepfake detection software.

Users upload a video, and Sentinel’s AI determines whether or not the media is a deepfake.

Sentinel then generates a “visualization of manipulation” report that outlines why the video was flagged as a deepfake.

The startup has raised $1.4M in seed funding to date.

What's Next

Sentinel AI is part of the Deepfake Detection meta trend.

Advancements in generative AI have made the process of creating deepfakes significantly easier.

And some research suggests that the number of deepfake videos has doubled every six months since 2018.

This environment is fueling growing demand for deepfake detection tools.

In fact, searches for “deepfake detection” have doubled over the last 24 months.

Topic #3

Magsafe Power Bank

MagSafe power banks are external batteries designed to magnetically attach to smartphones.

(Specifically, these power banks are designed for iPhones because of their MagSafe capability).

Interest in these power banks initially gained traction when Apple launched their MagSafe battery pack.

Since then, several startups have rushed to launch their own power banks (either with additional features or sold at lower prices).

One highly-rated MagSafe power bank generates approximately $152K/month on Amazon.

What's Next

MagSafe power banks are part of the Feature-Plus Power Banks meta trend.

Power banks are getting redesigned with a number of new features to improve their usability.

Wireless power banks can charge compatible devices without the need for cables.

Waterproof power banks are designed to withstand exposure to water, making them ideal for outdoor activities, travel, or situations where you may encounter moisture or rain.

Folding power banks are usually larger power banks (with more charging power) that can be folded. This makes them easily portable.

Topic #4

Cloud Security Posture Management

Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is a practice designed to detect cloud misconfigurations that can lead to data breaches or compliance violations.

For instance, a CSPM tool would help notify an IT team when a Kubernetes endpoint is publicly accessible.

CSPM implementation is still in its infancy. However, according to one industry survey 84% of organizations are looking to use a CSPM tool in the future.

Which is why the market for these CSPM solutions is forecasted to grow 2x by 2028.

What's Next

Security posture management is part of the Cloud Security Spending meta trend.

Searches for “cloud security management” have increased by 71% over the last 24 months.

Why? Cloud breaches and leaks are on the rise. 98% of organizations have experienced at least one cloud breach over the last 18 months (only 20% of organizations reported similar issues in 2020, illustrating the increasing prevalence of this problem).

And these breaches are costly.

According to IBM, the average cloud breach costs around $5.12M.

Which is why spending on cloud security is set to grow by 33.8% this year.
