Business Insider Global Trends Report for 2021‑23

 

Trends for '21 and beyond

Business Insider is proud to present its first comprehensive report on global business trends that will matter to corporate executives and entrepreneurs over the next 2-3 years.

Insider and its international editions of Business Insider, published across five continents, have identified key global business trends for the mid-term. Lead editors from around the world selected a list that was checked against market data from Insider Intelligence, Insider Inc.'s market research company. Insights from leaders of recognizable brands and disruptors who spoke at the Business Insider Global Trends Festival in October 2020 supplement the trends. We're proud of the global effort that resulted in this report of 17 trends for 2021-23.
