Top 100 Business Trends for 2022

From Experiential Beauty Stores to Live E-Commerce Platforms

— January 8, 2022 — Business
From experiential beauty stores to live e-commerce platforms, the 2022 business trends underscore how brands are meeting consumer needs with cutting-edge innovations and leading solutions.

One notable example comes from McDonald's. The brand recently announced the launch of solar-powered restaurants, helping to mitigate the environmental impacts of the facilities. Increasingly, as consumers become more aware of the potential consequences of climate change, they are turning to brands more than themselves in order to make positive changes.

Another intriguing example from the 2022 business trends is from Voo Store. The Berlin-based retailer recently took to the controversial content platform, OnlyFans to post its marketing content since its attempts on Instagram were getting reported for showing too much skin exposure, pubic hair, and so on.

For more business inovations in the year ahead, check out Trend Hunter’s 2022 Trend Report.
