The world is ever in flux, but it seems like it’s changing a little more frequently these days. The rise of the internet, as well as changing demographics and global needs, means that even those industries that have long been a core of the business world are not guaranteed to be successful (or even needed) in the future. If you’re going to set up a business, then, it’s recommended that you avoid looking to the past for inspiration, and instead focus on the future. So what industries are going to be successful in the future? Whose prospects are bright? We take a look at a few options below. While there’s no such thing as a guaranteed success, these have more of a chance than others. 

Personal Healthcare

It’s the people in the world that drives the economy, not some unseen force of nature. As such, it’s always a good idea to look at the needs of the world when it comes to setting up a business. In the coming decades, we’re going to see something that has never happened before: there will soon be more people in retirement age than there are young people. How about that? And since those retirees are going to need looking after, healthcare — in all forms: hospitals, at-home care, and so on — is projected to be one of the most profitable industries in the near future.
