[Exploding Topics Logo]( Presented by: [Exploding Topics Pro Logo]( Here’s this week’s list of rapidly trending topics, insights and analysis. Topic #1 Migraine Hat [Chart]( Migraine hats are wearable ice packs that help treat migraines and headaches. The product works by providing sustained cryotherapy to the entire head. (Many versions also cover the eyes in order to block out light). One popular migraine hat product generates around $60K/month on Amazon. What's Next Migraine hats are part of the Migraine Devices meta trend. More people reported experiencing a migraine last year than in any prior year. Notably, migraine attacks are becoming more severe. Approximately 50% of migraine problems reported now fall under the moderate to severe category (compared to only 22% in 2004). Which is why people are increasingly turning to migraine devices to help relieve some of this pain. In fact, searches for “[migraine devices]( have increased by 600% over the last 24 months. Topic #2 Quarkus [Chart]( Quarkus is an open-source Java programming language framework for Kubernetes and serverless web development. It works with nearly all popular Java libraries, standards and frameworks (like Springs and Microprofile). The framework lets developers optimize container-native applications for peak performance, resulting in faster startup times, lower memory consumption and reduced host costs. The project has over 11,000 stars on GitHub. What's Next Quarkus is part of the Kubernetes Tools meta trend. Kubernetes is an open-source platform for managing container workloads and services. 85% of organizations believe Kubernetes will be critical to future container use. Other examples of trending Kubernetes tools include: [Minikube]( enables organizations to run Kubernetes locally. [Helm]( is used to manage packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources. [Okteto]( is a tool designed to accelerate the process of developing applications on Kubernetes. Topic #3 Lychee Gummies [Chart]( Lychee gummies refer to lychee-infused gummy candy. This supplement category is gaining traction as certain studies suggest that consuming lychees can support heart and bone health. We’re also seeing a growing number of startups launching to meet demand for lychee gummy products. In fact, one popular pack of lychee gummies generates approximately $10K/month on Amazon. What's Next Lychee gummies are part of the Lychee-based Products meta trend. The topic “[lychee]( has seen a 66% increase in searches over the past 5 years. And according to the Mintel database, the number of lychee-based product launches increased by over 55% last year. [Lychee cocktails]( [lychee tea]( and [lychee soda]( are examples of trending lychee-based products. Topic #4 Synthetic Data [Chart]( Synthetic data is information that is created artificially via computer simulations rather than gathered from real-world events. Synthetic data has been traditionally used to validate mathematical models and as a stand-in for operational or production data. However, synthetic data is becoming more prevalent in AI training because it can be used without privacy restrictions, can simulate nearly any condition, and is often immune to statistical problems such as item nonresponse and other logical constraints. What's Next Synthetic data is part of the Alternative AI Training Datasets meta trend. Collecting real-life data to train AI is often expensive and time-consuming. Additionally, much of this real-world data has collection and accuracy issues. Which is why AI developers are increasingly turning to alternative AI training data (such as synthetic data). In fact, Gartner forecasts that synthetic data will become the primary data source used to train AI models by 2030.
