Trends

Patterns or trends that emerge within a certain industry are referred to as industry trends. Price, cost, consumer purchasing, marketing, manufacturing, sales methodology, and a variety of other factors may all be factors in these patterns. Trends can be found in any industry and can offer businesses with valuable information to help them stay competitive. While industry trends can change quickly, the phrase is more commonly used to represent ongoing industrial activity rather than unexpected, transient deviations from the norm. Over example, if a certain item's customer buying pattern has increased by around 2% per year for the past five years, an analyst would conclude that the industry is showing signs of minor expansion. If, on the other hand, sales of the item stay reasonably stable for the first two years, increased dramatically in the third year, and then revert to previous levels for the next two years, there is no discernible trend. Instead, the sales surge would be regarded as an outlier.
