The 5 Hottest Industries for Startups in 2019

If you have a passion for something and are looking to turn it into a business then you’re already on the right track to business success. 

However, if you’re ready to start a business but aren’t sure which industry you should be joining, then you may find it beneficial to know the 5 hottest startup industries at the moment.  

It is important to point out that starting any business involves risk, especially if you’re a foreigner starting a US business. Be sure you know what the risks are and how to deal with them before you start trading.

This shouldn’t put you off starting your business; just make sure you have a plan first. This should include knowing which industries are doing particularly well at the moment:

1.Mobility

We’re not talking about your standard mobility solutions. As technology is dramatically improving the options for personal transport, there has been increased interest in electric bikes, scooters, and even electric skateboards. 

More and more people are likely to be living in urban areas, making mobility, without the conventional car, an important issue.

2. Digital Therapy

The digital world used to consist of computer games and software. However, now it is being recognized as a great way to give access to medicine and treatment for many people. This is one industry that is likely to grow at an impressive rate.

However, this industry is also heavily regulated, you’ll need to be aware of all the relevant rules and abide by them in order to provide a genuine service to your customers. 

3. Cannabis Products

The debate continues to rage regarding the legalization of cannabis. However, there are already a number of cannabis-based products, known as CBD’s which are legal.

They don’t contain the compound that will allow you to get high but they will provide effective pain relief and are known to be anti-inflammatory, as well as anti-anxiety. 

You’ll need to know all about the cannabis plant and there will be plenty of competition when launching your product. But, the market is likely to be huge.

4. Nutrition & Fitness

It won’t be surprising to learn that this $85 billion industry continues to grow strongly. People are becoming increasingly aware of the need to look after their own health. This has translated into an abundance of fad diets and nutritional supplements.

Of course, the level of competition can make it a difficult market to break into. But, if you have a high-quality product, you should be able to build a reputation which will help your business grow and flourish.

5. Baby Tech

You may already have a fitness watch strapped to your arm that monitors your vital signs throughout the day. This technology is now moving into the baby sector, allowing parents to monitor the health of their baby even when they are not in the same room.

It should be noted that there are limited funds available at this stage for these types of startups, but it is definitely one to watch.
