What that leaves out
Built for retail
Trendalytics is made for fashion, beauty and lifestyle: over 25,000 consumer trends, read for buyers, merchandisers and marketers. TrendIntel files every trend under a subject, from technology and science to politics, health, sport and culture, and measures them all the same way.
Search and social, not research, code or government
Its forecasts combine Google Search, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube with product data. TrendIntel also reads arXiv and Semantic Scholar, GitHub and package registries, job postings, patents, SEC filings, and government contracts and grants, and shows which of those a trend has reached.
Weekly and monthly data
Trendalytics updates its social data weekly and its search data monthly. TrendIntel scores every trend hourly against its own usual week, and emails you when a trend you watch changes label.
