59% of individuals believe that big brands will monopolize the legal cannabis industry

These past couple of years have proven challenging for many companies to prevail in an uncertain and trepidatious world. War, climate crises, economic challenges, and an ever-faster development of technologies and rapid shifts in industry attitudes have given a platform for companies to set themselves apart from their competitors. But to do this, understanding the social and cultural climate needs to be at the heart of business strategy and market understanding.

Savanta wanted to uncover insights on the very climate that businesses hope to learn from when formulating plans for their upcoming fiscal year, not to mention what individuals expect from industry leaders across tech, lifestyle, fashion, sports, and entertainment.

This Savanta study was conducted by surveying 1,000 consumers with demographic cuts based off of the most recent US Census data. 

Below is a list of sectors specific trend predictions to take a look at for 2023, whether it be activity that Americans believe will continue to progress or making a comeback.
