Trend #1: Cozey - Modular Comfort Built for Real Life

Cozey is a Canadian DTC furniture brand that's built a name on its modular, sofa-in-a-box model. Each piece ships separately and can be reconfigured or expanded later making it ideal for renters, apartment dwellers, and families who want flexible comfort. Customers love the 10-minute tool-free assembly, and TikTok loves the aesthetic. The company has over 32 million views tagged with #cozey, and it just opened its first store in Toronto with plans for a NYC pop-up soon.

What’s next is the broader rise of modular couches, a category that has seen search interest grow by more than 160 percent in the last two years. Once a 1970s staple, these buildable, changeable pieces are now back in fashion, thanks to social media and a wave of low-cost dupes. Expect brands like Anabei, Belffin, and even big-box retailers like West Elm to keep feeding the trend with washable fabrics, smart storage, and better shipping logistics.

Trend #2: ScrapingBee - Unlocking the Web with Smarter APIs

ScrapingBee offers a no-code web scraping API that pulls data from websites without getting blocked. It automates all the hard stuff like rotating IPs, managing headless browsers, solving CAPTCHAs, so users can gather insights at scale with minimal hassle. Built for developers but usable by anyone, the platform supports Python, Java, and other languages and has been bootstrapped since its launch in 2019.

What’s next is the explosion of web scraping APIs as core tools for retail, finance, sentiment analysis, and e-commerce. Over 80 percent of ecommerce data leaders already use web scraping, and bots now make up over 40 percent of all web traffic. The ability to extract, clean, and structure data at scale is becoming a strategic advantage. Keep an eye on Scrapfly, ScraperAPI, and Apify as this space accelerates.

Trend #3: OLED Gaming Monitors - High Performance Meets Hyper Realism

OLED gaming monitors are gaining serious momentum for their sharp contrast, vivid colour, and ultra-fast refresh rates. Unlike LED screens, OLEDs illuminate each pixel independently, delivering richer blacks and smoother gameplay. Some models are hitting refresh rates up to 480Hz, a major upgrade from the standard 144Hz range.

The MSI OLED is one standout model, with search interest climbing more than 500 percent over the past two years. Gamers are flocking to OLED for the immersive visual experience it offers in both casual and competitive play.

What’s next is that OLED Gaming Monitors are part of the Specialty Gaming Devices meta trend. As the accessory market pushes past 13 billion dollars, gamers are spending more to upgrade everything from keyboards to displays. Interest in magnetic switch keyboards, hall-effect joysticks, and AI-enhanced monitors reflects the hunger for tech that maximizes both performance and experience.

Trend #4: Creatine Gummies - Strength in a Sweet Format

Creatine has long been a staple for athletes, but the gummy format is making it easier and tastier for new demographics to join in. Each chew delivers 3 to 5 grams of creatine and appeals to everyone from gym newbies to wellness-curious TikTokers. Create, one of the leading brands, has already raised $5 million and brought in $15 million in revenue since 2022. Other brands like Wellah and Ekkovision are expanding with flavour-first and audience-specific blends.

What’s next is the mainstreaming of creatine across age groups and use cases. The global market just crossed $500 million and is welcoming women, seniors, and even kids as new users. Search volume for creatine chews has quadrupled in two years. Like collagen before it, creatine is shifting from niche supplement to daily ritual and gummies are leading the way.
