Top 100 Business Trends in October

From Live Broadcast NFTs to Smart Food Lockers

— October 29, 2022 — Business
The October 2022 business trends consist of a number of noteworthy launches, partnerships, and innovations, all of which come from a varied range of industries, including IT, healthcare, media, agriculture, finance, food production, retail, and more. For example, within the last month, the corporate sector has bared witness to the launch of new blockchain-based supply chain solutions, Gen-Z-targeted metaverses, immersive back-to-school pop-ups, and numerous new NFT products and services.

Some of the most notable launches this month come from major tech companies. For example, music streaming giant Spotify announced the launch of its new audiobook feature in the United States. For the first time, nearly 300,000 audiobooks will be available to Spotify users. Naturally, the new audiobook service from Spotify arrives as direct competition for Audible, a popular audiobook app.
