The Trend Compendium 2030

What will the world look like in 20 years? The Trend Compendium 2030 by Roland Berger Strategy Consultants supports corporate strategists and top executives as they try to answer this question. We have conducted global research, analyzed data and interpreted the results.

We found seven megatrends that will shape the business world of tomorrow. What makes a megatrend? They change the world, slowly but steadily and irrevocably. They encompass economic factors just as much as social and environmental shifts.

What areas of the economy will they affect? We describe the individual megatrends and how they will unfold over the next 20 years. We then define specific recommendations for how companies can respond in order to stay competitive in a changing world.

To make our megatrends tangible for managers, we have broken them down into 21 subtrends. Read an overview of how companies can prepare themselves for the world of tomorrow.

Trends are significantly different from forecasts and other estimates about the future. To demonstrate this, we will take you on a brief trip to the past. Compare the world today with yesterday's predictions.
