Editor's Notes
Finally a trend is of interest to a marketer only if it provides a return. Change that cannot be exploited for profit should be discounted. In marketing terms, a trend is
therefore best defined as “a long-term change in consumer attitudes and behaviors that offers marketing opportunities” (Higham, 2009)
Before starting with the trend analysis, here a small overview of the evolution of “trend spotting”
In the 1930 and before, trends were mainly gathered and analysed in the fashion industry
Whereas around 50 years later, leading futurologists such as John Naisbitt and Faith Popcorn brought trend hunting to the mainstream
Today we see that more companies such as XY became specialized in analysing and forseeing consumer and macro environmental trends.
Even if trends have always been of importance, they seem to provide a more vital impact today. The acceleration of changes, the blurring of boundaries, the rising
power of consumers and globalism, to name only some, are factors, which make trend
spotting a must for companies in order to remain competitive.
