Megatrending 2025: opportunities ahead
For over two centuries, Pictet has embraced a long-term perspective, guiding our pioneering work on megatrends. These powerful social, economic, environmental, and technological forces shape our world beyond normal economic cycles. Our history is marked by helping investors navigate global complexities.
By understanding structural trends in both public and private markets, we tailor our investment capabilities to meet diverse needs.
Megatrending 2025 delves into key themes across three major sections:
1 - Society | 2 – Environment | 3 – Technology |
---|---|---|
Innovations in healthcare and biotech, why we should be hopeful about the state of the world, and why anti-obesity drugs matter. | The shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy, the development of sustainable aviation fuel, and new models to measure biodiversity impacts. | Advancements in AI, robotics, and semiconductor technology, and how these innovations are transforming industries. |
Featuring insights from our own investment experts, as well as renowned figures like Professor Vaclav Smil, Dr. Hannah Ritchie, and industry leaders such as Ignacio Sánchez Galán of Iberdrola, this report provides a comprehensive view of the forces shaping our future.
