Top 100 Business Trends for 2020

From Sustainable Corporate Initiatives to Gen Z Experiences

— February 8, 2020 — Business
Those looking for tomorrow's emerging innovations should look no further than this list of 2020 Business trends, as it offers the top industry insights from this year in an effort to pave the way for the new decade.

This year saw an influx in corporate sustainability initiatives, with brands from all industries adhering to consumer demands for eco-friendly alternatives and practices. Examples of this include McCormick's plan to use only recyclable plastic by 2025, and the Better McDonald's initiative, in which the fast food brand opts to use wooden materials.

Other standouts from this list include the MAC Cosmetics' Experience Center, which blurred the lines between the physical and digital world in an effort to entice the experience-driven Generation Z demographic.

For more business innovations in the year ahead, check out Trend Hunter’s 2020 Trend Report.
