1.
Healthcare
The US department of labor
recently stated that 10 out of the 20 fastest-growing occupations in the US are
related to healthcare, and this industry will generate more than 3 million jobs
by the year 2018. This growth is due to the aging population (graying boomers),
which will increase the demand for home healthcare delivery services (expected
to increase by a whopping 50% over the next decade).
2.
Home care for the elderly
Due to the ever-aging population
in the United States and other developing countries, there is an increasing
demand for independent living by the elderly. And any businesses that can cater
to this need by offering personal home care products and services to the
elderly; with respect to physical therapy, grocery shopping, cooking, etc will
be of great relevance for years to come.
3.
Services for retirees
Everyone wants to live a good life
even after retirement. And it is expected that by the year 2020, 80% of workers
born in North America will be older than 50; a statistic revealed by
Entrepreneur magazine. This trend will open huge opportunities for businesses
targeting adults that are over 50, who are looking to enjoy a blissful
retirement. Such businesses include retirement real estate, retirement
recreational services, nutritional counseling to help seniors look better, etc.
4.
Wellness and natural health
The wellness and natural health
industry will most likely exceed the mainstream healthcare industry in the
nearest future. So, natural health experts and products will be in great
demand.
5.
Care for the elderly with special needs
As there is an increase in the
number of elderly people with temporary or permanent disabilities and ailments,
there will be an increasing demand for services that help such people — such as
skilled nursing and medical care for the elderly.
6.
Mobile marketing consulting
Due to the ever-increasing number
of people who surf the web using mobile devices like Smartphones and tablets,
businesses are now realizing the need to adopt mobile marketing as a way of
targeting prospects that use mobile devices. This has led to an increase in the
demand for mobile marketing consultants.
Since indicators are suggesting
that mobile devices will continue to dominate for a long time (just as the need
for mobile marketing), there’s a huge opportunity for mobile marketing
consultants.
7.
Home improvement services
Because there’s no end in sight to
the current global economic crisis, people are resorting to self-created,
home-based businesses; a development that confines them to their homes most of
the time. This means there will be a big demand for home improvement services.
8.
Social media consulting
With the dramatic increase in the
popularity of social networks like Facebook and Twitter, businesses are deeming
it more necessary than ever to start using these platforms for reaching out to
prospects. This has led to a huge demand for marketing consultants who advise
businesses on how to promote and market their products and services on social
networks; and this demand will keep increasing for as long as social media
continues to remain relevant.
9.
Children’s educational services
The current economic crisis has
led to a major cutback in school budgets. And this will increase the demand for
tutoring and related academic services and programs.
10. Outsourcing
Due to the current state of the
economy, businesses are looking for ways to cut down cost and streamline their
operations. One way businesses are trying to achieve this is by outsourcing to
freelance contractors what used to be in-house functions; such as human
resources, accounting, and IT related tasks. If you can setup an outsourcing
agency, you are in for huge profit potential
