2. Marketing with Psychographics will dominate: Marketing that would earn customer loyalty and relationship must comply with Psychographics rather than demographics or geographics.. Geographic marketing saw a demise recently as the internet has dismantled and  eliminated local boundaries....

3. Renewable energy products will increase: In consumer electronic space, renewable energy products would be mass produced attuned to growth in consumer demands.

4. Expansion of Space convergence: the growth of technology at this time has open ways for electronics to interact such that a particular consumer electronic gadgets would have to communicate and interact with others in a different category. This would expand the convergence of industries.

5.  Subcategory Marketing: One way to win with customers going forward  isto create must-have that represent a space where consumers have choices. 

6. Growth of digital finance: The use of mobile apps on gadgets to run banking and  manage finance would increase. Micro-product-market-fit will increase in 2024.

7. Clash of Civilizations would reduce: As most cultures around the have experience the pains of war, crisis and violences in this post-modern world, most people would resolve to peace in relating with one another, and this would result in rapid decline in clash between and among civilizations.But political decay would rise incremental in the global south.
