Top 100 Business Trends in May

The May 2022 business trends consist of a variety of exciting innovations and developments, which arrive from a notably diverse range of industries, including tech, healthcare, media, agriculture, finance, food production, and more. For instance, this month alone, the business world bared witness to the launch of a major Gen Z-targeted commerce app, numerous new NFT marketplaces, and a variety of sustainability-focused initiatives across multiple sectors.

In terms of stand-out themes, a significant number of e-commerce companies introduced eco-friendly packaging solutions this month. Undoubtedly, these updates come as a response to the well-known fact that the e-commerce industry is a major producer of waste and CO2 emissions.

For example, Chinese e-commerce platform Tmall launched all-new shipping labels designed to track the exact amount of carbon emissions produced by their parcels. Similarly, Living Packets released a sustainable and re-usable alternative to traditional cardboard shipping boxes called The Box.
