Top 100 Business Trends in June

From Swiping Try-on Apps to AI-Powered Drive-Thrus

— June 19, 2021 — Business
From swiping try-on apps to AI-powered drive-thrus, the June 2021 business trends depict the latest retail, market, and product innovations. As technology continues to develop exponentially, we see businesses leveraging the emerging solutions in all facets of all their business, from customer service to product development.

One standout example from the roundup is from Zyler. Described as "the world's most realistic clothing try-on," the technology functions as a virtual fitting room to help online shoppers find new apparel. This is especially important at a time when many retailers remained closed amid the ongoing global pandemic. The new virtual try-on solution lets users upload their own photos to the platform and digitally try on items from brands and retailers from across the globe.
