2020 marked the start of a brand-new decade with greater opportunities personally and professionally. The financial markets since 2020 have been on a roller coaster ride, with the pandemic hitting, economies falling, recovering, and now the Russia Ukraine crisis hitting the markets and affecting several economies once again. Let us discuss the major trends that are going to shape the upcoming investment trends in the 2020-2030 decade.
AR and VR takeover
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality have already started taking over everything possible. From showcasing real estate properties to launching the Meta Verse, the AR and VR space is here to change how the world will function in the coming years.
AR, VR, and the upgrading network systems for internet services will transform the everyday lives of every person. It is going to impact every industry one by one, from retail, education, advertising to entertainment. There is a brand new, intelligent and virtually powerful world that awaits individuals to learn, play and shop all from one single place.
Seamless Global Connectivity
Global connectivity is becoming super-fast, seamless, effective and efficient as the years’ pass and technology is always one of the more significant investment trends. This is going to connect every person from everything, everywhere at all times at a low cost. 5G network deployment and a multitude of global satellite network launching allow extremely low-cost communication from one corner of the place to another. It connects trillions of decisions at one point in time to each other through the Internet of Things. Eight billion people are already connected globally 24 hours a day, every single day.
Whether a pandemic or a crisis, the global connectivity remains until the authorities put forward an order to take it down. It has bought people from different countries, traditions, cultures and heritages closer to each other by letting them communicate, see and understand the feelings of each other through the internet itself.
AI and its human-level intelligence
More like AR and VR, Artificial Intelligence is capturing all possible industries one by one. From entering the automobile space to understanding human speech – there is hardly anything AI cannot do. AI is capable of doing many things that humans cannot, like understanding multiple languages at once. However, AI now matches human intelligence and slowly becomes capable of everything that humans do.
So, it seems humans cannot match AI, but the coming decade will surely witness AI matching humans in at least some aspects. And rightly so, because Artificial Intelligence has now started replacing humans in the creative industry, so what is there in the human mind left that AI cannot possibly mirror? AI is certainly one of another core investment trends as people seek to invest in technologies that will allow seamless integration of our digital and daily lives.
Cheap renewable energy present in abundance
Perhaps the most prevalent of investment trends at the moment. The coming decade is going to witness major advancements in the world, solar, geothermal and fusion energy. This will assist humankind in utilising renewable energy in a universal, cheap and plentiful manner. It is estimated that the price per kilowatt-hour will only be 1 cent at max for renewables. This will result in a major displacement of fossil fuels in the whole world. Even the world’s poorest and hottest nations will be able to become net energy exporters and strengthen their earnings and economic condition.
Technologically advanced sensors
By the end of this decade, about 100 billion sensors through the Internet of Things will be able to monitor and sense every single element of our environment at all points in time. This will enhance the ability to sense, know and understand anything and everything at any point in time at any particular location. The sensing will consist of listening, measuring and imaging different environmental facets and responding to the same accordingly.
Worldwide imaging satellites, drones, AR headsets, cameras and LIDARs will show humans everything going on in and out of space and know anything they want within minutes.
Gene therapies and CRISPR minimising diseases
Infectious diseases like AIDS and Ebola are now curable diseases. Additionally, the gene-editing technologies introduced are still advancing in different aspects to become as precise as possible. Things are being worked on the ease the usage, make the therapies more cost-effective and allow families to treat and cure several inheritable genetic diseases before they are passed on to further generations.
Gene therapy is here to change the future of inherited diseases, which will result in a significant fall in the number of diseased patients worldwide. CRISPR technology will be used to edit genes and change how the world treats genetic disorders and diseases. In this process, a specific DNA bit inside a cell will be traced and will be altered to ensure that the inheritance is eliminated.
Conclusion
Several investment trends are emerging that are here to change how the world functions. From the introduction of flying cars to AI taking over everything and everyone, the coming decade is full of new innovations and inventions that will make a living in this world like a new version altogether!
