The Guide is an aid for entrepreneurs to plan their actions adapted to the new realities. Divided into two large blocks: one addresses behavior and consumption, with themes such as connected life, celebrations, home and life in order and “compensating for chaos”. The other major theme, focused on market and management, presents new positioning, digital world, new business models, sustainability economics and inclusion to expand the market.
Within each block, the macro and micro trends for the coming years were listed, according to consumer behavior. Information was sought from trend reports made by several technology companies and studies around the world.
