Frost & Sullivan anticipates 2024 to be a year of convergence of novelty and necessity, with a paradigm shift to the mainstream adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). The retail experience will be completely transformed by social commerce and metaverse developments, which will drive eCommerce. In addition, a more individualized and decentralized digital ecosystem is becoming possible with the implementation of Web 3.0.
Prescriptive analytics and behavioral digital intelligence will enable advanced data analytics for businesses, while AI-powered cyber resilience will prove to be a critical instrument to safeguard digital assets and expedite decision-making while traversing unprecedented challenges. In terms of sustainability, carbon accounting will see strong adoption as a data source for the transparency movement that guides value-based purchasing. It will drive tangible accountability that will ultimately be seen as a source of awareness for conscious investors.
In battery technology, Frost & Sullivan anticipates the development of new chemistries that will be cheaper, denser, lighter, and offer better thermal stability than lithium-ion batteries.
One of the major challenges in adopting digital trends is data privacy and security risks leading to a lack of user trust. Businesses can establish ethical data-sourcing approaches and enforce and promote regulations by offering relevant training programs for operators.
