    Our mission

    As one of the world’s leading consumer trend firms since 2002, TrendWatching is purpose-built to guide, inspire and empower business professionals – whether they be marketers, creatives, strategists, entrepreneurs or innovators – to bring to market more sustainable and impactful innovations that benefit all, not the few. 

    To achieve this, we deliver Free Trend Updates to over 100,000 trend-driven professionals worldwide and offer a number of dedicated trend services.

    Our methodology

    Guiding our work is our proprietary Purpose-Driven Innovation (PDI) methodology: a core analytical framework that turns trends into meaningful business opportunities. It's designed to guide professionals and the wider world in both identifying and acting on them.
