9. Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is concerned with building materials on the scale of atoms and molecules.

Nanotechnology is expected to revolutionize the medicine, aerospace, body armor, solar panel, and food industries.

According to Grand View Research, the global Nanomedicine market will grow to $351 billion in 2025. But the global nanomaterials market is still in its infant stage and is only expected to grow from $10 billion in 2021 to $23 billion in 2027.

10. Augmented Reality

Augmented reality is an experience where designers enhance parts of users' physical world with computer-generated input. Smartphones, smart glasses, and other handheld and wearable devices will provide the bulk of these experiences.

Augmented reality is expected to take off in the manufacturing, healthcare, and education industries.

According to Grand View Research, the augmented reality market will grow from $27 billion in 2021 to $340 billion in 2028.

11. Robotics

Robots are widely used in the automobile industry and manufacturing processes of other industries. It’s also being increasingly used to perform surgery in the healthcare industry.

According to Statista, the global robotics market will grow from $132 billion in 2021 to $209 billion in 2025.

12. Virtual Reality

As you know, virtual reality simulates lifelike situations. Real life use cases include gaming, social networking, education, and on-the-job training.

According to Grand View Research, the global virtual reality market will grow form $22 billion in 2021 to $67 billion in 2028.

13. 3D Printing

3D printing is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a digital 3D model.

Most industries that involve manufacturing are expected to be affected by 3d printing.

According to Grand View Research, the global 3D printing market will grow from $17 billion in 2021 to $63 billion in 2028.

14. Genomics

Genomics is an interdisciplinary field of biology focusing on the structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes. A genome is an organism's complete set of DNA, including all of its genes.

The most common application of genomics is to understand and find cures for diseases.

According to Global News Wire, the global Genomics market will grow from $24 billion in 2021 to $63 billion in 2028.

15. Data Science

All organizations generate huge amounts of data in the form of documents, text, audio, video, images, and so forth. Data Science involves using prediction algorithms to help those organizations make better decisions faster.

And more and more companies are buying data science software and platforms to automate all of this.

According to Grand View Research, the global data science platform market will grow from $5 billion in 2020 to $26 billion in 2027.
