📈 Products on the Rise

Product #1 - Racing Simulators (+259%)

Revving up the fun! As the pandemic limited outdoor activities, more people are turning to racing sims (simulators) to fulfill their need for speed!

Racing simulators are video games or software programs designed to simulate real-life racing experiences, complete with a steering wheel, pedals, and realistic driving physics.

These simulators offer more than just entertainment value.

They also provide a safe and cost-effective way for aspiring racers to practice their skills and improve their driving techniques without risking injury or costly equipment.

The trend gained momentum as creators on TikTok showcased their racing sim setups and live-streamed themselves using them in real time.

Check out this video of an incredibly realistic racing simulator in action!

The hashtag #racingsim has 230M views on TikTok along with #racingsimulator which has 201M views.

Who’s Doing It?

• Next Level Racing - Offers a range of simulators priced from $500-$1,000 just for the cockpit. It is estimated that the company is doing roughly $8M per year in sales, although, it’s likely to be much higher.

Product #2 - Skin Tag Removers (+488%)

Removing the unwanted! Skin tag removers are becoming a solution for people who want a simple and painless solution to get rid of skin tags at home.

A skin tag is a harmless skin growth that appears on many different parts of the body.

Skin tag removers are products designed to remove these pieces of skin without the need for surgery or medical intervention.

One of the most common and effective ways to remove a skin tag at home is to use a tag band. These are small elastic bands that cut off their blood supply causing it to fall off naturally.

Other over-the-counter products include ointments, creams, and cryotherapy (freezing).

Who’s Doing It?

• Tag Band - A massively popular product that uses tag bands to cut off the blood supply to skin tags. This company had 100s of thousands of Amazon sales but has mysteriously been delisted from the platform. It is unknown why.

• Dr. Scholls - This company offers a clinically proven cryotherapy product to remove skin tags in as little as one use. Dr. Scholls was sold to a private equity firm in 2019 for $585M.

📰 Industry Shift

Putting Down The Vape (+350%)

Breaking free! With the health risks associated with vaping becoming widely recognized, people are searching for ways to quit the habit.

Vaping has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly among younger generations.

According to Gallup, 8% of Americans reported that they vaped in the last week. That’s over 26M people!

As reports of lung injuries and other health issues related to vaping have emerged, many individuals are seeking information on how to quit this addictive behavior.

From nicotine replacement therapies to counseling and support groups, there are a variety of resources available to help individuals quit vaping for good.

However, there are also products that are designed to help kick the habit.

These include:

• Nicotine Alternatives - Gums, patches, and inhalers allow users to slowly discontinue a high usage of nicotine without quitting completely. This is a good first step.

• Zero Nicotine Vapes - This product allows users to satisfy the hand-to-mouth habit that is associated with vaping without consuming nicotine. These products oftentimes still contain harmful chemicals.

• Breathing Devices - Companies are offering devices such as necklaces that have a breathing apparatus attached. This allows someone to inhale through it whenever they get a craving.

🚨 Business Radar

Hello Kitty (+259%)

Kitty-craze! Hello Kitty merchandise has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent months as the aesthetic and “cutesy” apparel has come into style.

Hello Kitty, created by Sanrio, has been a beloved character since her introduction in 1974.

The recent spike in popularity of Hello Kitty merchandise can be attributed to several factors, including nostalgia, the current trend of cute and colorful outfits, and collaborations with popular brands such as Forever 21, Nike, and Hot Topic.

There has been a growing demand for ’90s fashion styles like cargo pants, claw clips, and low-rise jeans. This is a contributing factor to Hello Kitty’s comeback.

From clothing to accessories to home decor to profile pictures, Hello Kitty is appearing on a wide range of products, and fans can't seem to get enough.
