You’re stitching scattered insights across tools or agencies. It’s slow to consolidate, integrate market-specific insights, and impossible to retrace the reasoning later.
Sounds familiar
Multiple tools and agency reports, zero shared view
Duplicates and stale items in spreadsheets
No consistent way to rank what matters now vs. later
Hard to separate noise from signals, making prioritization unreliable.

Popular Trend Radars
Get inspired by the radars other strategists use to track change.
The Future of Defense & Military
Defense and military organizations are navigating a new era of rapid change: AI-driven warfare, drone and autonomous systems, cyber resilience, energy security, and industrial realignment are all moving fast. At the same time, shifting alliances and geopolitical pressure are forcing leaders to rethink readiness and long-term investment.
A radar view brings this complexity together—helping foresight and strategy teams see how technologies, risks, and policies cluster, track their momentum, and test scenarios with evidence. It’s not about reacting to the latest headline, but about building a forward-looking picture that supports resilience, preparedness, and strategic advantage.

The Future of Work
Work is being reshaped by converging forces: digital transformation, demographic change, and shifting expectations around equity, sustainability, and well-being. From AI-driven automation and remote collaboration tools to new workforce demographics like Gen Z and Gen Alpha, organizations are rethinking how and where work gets done. At the same time, resilience and sustainability pressures are influencing workplace culture, talent management, and employee value propositions.
A radar view helps leaders connect these diverse drivers—technology, people, and policy—into one picture. Instead of reacting to each new HR trend or tech announcement in isolation, you can track how shifts cluster, understand their maturity, and prepare strategies that attract talent, boost productivity, and align with social and environmental expectations.

The Future of Beauty & Personal care
he beauty and personal care industry is evolving rapidly as consumers demand sustainability, inclusivity, and science-backed solutions. Wellness is blurring into beauty, with rising interest in mental health, longevity, and ingestible supplements. At the same time, innovation in biotech, personalized skincare, and digital beauty experiences is reshaping how products are developed, marketed, and consumed. Sustainability—through recyclable packaging, cruelty-free practices, and carbon reduction—remains a non-negotiable expectation.
A radar view helps brands and retailers connect these forces—science, sustainability, and self-expression—into one forward-looking perspective. Instead of chasing each new trend, leaders can understand how consumer values, regulatory shifts, and technological breakthroughs converge to define the future of beauty.

Geopolitical Radar
Geopolitics is entering a period of heightened uncertainty, where energy security, climate policy, trade disputes, and regional conflicts intersect with cyber threats and new power dynamics. Globalization is being redefined by protectionism, sanctions, and the reshaping of alliances, while humanitarian crises and corruption risks add further complexity.
The geopolitical radar gives strategy and foresight teams a structured way to make sense of this turbulence. By clustering risks and opportunities—whether in trade, energy, security, or diplomacy—it highlights where pressures are intensifying and where cooperation or conflict is likely to emerge. The result is a forward-looking perspective that supports resilience, scenario planning, and informed decision-making in volatile global markets.

The Future of Circular Economy
The shift to a circular economy is accelerating as industries and governments face mounting pressure to reduce waste, rethink resource use, and deliver on sustainability commitments. From sustainable design and materials recovery to digital platforms for sharing and reuse, new business models are emerging that replace “take–make–dispose” with closed-loop systems. Regulation—from the EU Green Deal to extended producer responsibility laws—is pushing organizations to adapt faster, while consumer demand for sustainable living continues to grow.
A radar view helps strategy and innovation teams see how policies, technologies, and consumer expectations intersect. By tracking clusters such as sustainable materials, digital marketplaces, and regulatory frameworks, leaders can spot where disruption is moving quickest and identify opportunities for value creation in a resource-constrained world.

The Future of Energy Transition
The energy transition is no longer optional—it is reshaping markets, investment flows, and industrial strategies worldwide. Renewables, hydrogen, and energy storage are scaling, while carbon capture, nuclear innovation, and grid modernization seek to balance supply security with decarbonization goals. At the same time, climate policy, ESG requirements, and net-zero commitments are redefining how energy companies, governments, and investors set priorities.
An energy radar brings these dynamics into one coherent picture. It helps foresight and risk teams track how technologies mature, how regulations shift, and how supply chains adapt—showing not just where disruption may arise, but where competitive advantage can be built in the race toward clean, reliable, and affordable energy.

The Future of Urban Transport & Mobility
Cities are rethinking mobility in response to climate goals, congestion, and shifting consumer expectations. From electrification and autonomous vehicles to shared mobility, micromobility, and AI-driven traffic systems, the transport landscape is undergoing profound change. At the same time, infrastructure investment, regulatory frameworks, and supply chain pressures are shaping how quickly new solutions scale.
A radar view helps urban planners, policymakers, and mobility leaders see how technologies, regulations, and consumer behavior cluster together. By tracking emerging signals—from EV infrastructure to smart logistics—teams can move beyond reactive transport planning and prepare strategies that balance sustainability, accessibility, and efficiency.

What sources does Trendtracker monitor for continuous trend tracking?
Trendtracker combines open-source signals with curated datasets across industries and regions.
We continuously monitor a wide range of sources, including:
- News and industry publications
- Company announcements
- Policy and regulatory updates
- Research outlets and think tanks
Every trend includes a transparent evidence trail, so strategy, foresight, and innovation teams can easily verify the source and understand why it was flagged.
How does Trendtracker’s Trend Radar fit into horizon scanning and corporate foresight?
Think of the Trend Radar as your always-on intelligence layer for horizon scanning. It consolidates weak signals into one transparent view, helping you distinguish noise from what really matters. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, you get a living radar — continuously updated by AI and backed with evidence — that supports confident decisions in scenario planning, roadmaps, and risk registers.
How do innovation and R&D teams use automated monitoring?
With automated monitoring, your team can keep track of technologies, emerging needs, and adjacent markets without extra manual effort.
It helps you spot opportunities faster and share evidence-backed trend boards with colleagues. On top of that, ranked trends and PESTLE views make it easier to prioritize discovery projects and portfolio reviews.
How is automated monitoring different from manual scanning?
With manual scanning, you’re the one collecting and sorting through signals—finding, de-duping, classifying, and ranking them yourself. Automated monitoring does all of that for you, continuously.
Instead of juggling fragmented tabs, you get one unified radar with explainable scores and shareable custom watchlists (your own tailored sets of trends or technologies to keep an eye on).
How fast can we implement Trendtracker’s Trend Radar for our sector?
Setup is quick. Once we define your lenses and custom watchlists (the trend or technology areas you want to track) and calibrate the view, you’ll be reviewing a live, updating radar within days.
The walkthrough is tailored to your industry, with clear scoring, evidence, and ready-to-use example watchlists.
Is Trend Radar useful for risk teams as well as strategy and innovation?
Yes. The same radar that supports strategy and innovation also helps risk teams monitor emerging risks—such as policy changes, supply chain issues, or geopolitical shifts—and spot new opportunities like tech developments or market openings.
You can easily switch perspectives by exploring different clusters, so each team sees what matters most to them.
Can you show a sample radar before a call?
Absolutely. You can browse Popular Trend Radars to see ranked trends with sources and horizons, then request a live walkthrough tailored to your context. Samples cut out the guesswork, and during the session you’ll see your sector view end-to-end.
