Identifying opportunities in the economic and regulatory trends


Economic
1.
a. https://www.theptdc.com/how-to-make-100000-year-personal-trainer
b. This article shows how the personal training industry has over 100,000 per person in it and has shown huge growth in the past few years.
c. This is a service based industry so a customer will be someone who wants to get trained or someone who is referred.
d. I think this opportunity is easy to exploit because of how easy it is to enter the market. Furthermore, there are a lot of different avenues to differentiate yourself in the market.
Why?
The reason I saw this opportunity is that I am emersed in this industry and have seen so many people come up the rankings to be the best personal trainer of a region with ease.
2.
a.https://www.wsj.com/articles/consumers-love-food-delivery-restaurants-and-grocers-hate-it-11552107610
b. This article shows how the market for food delivery has grown in the past 10 years, consumers have started to like the idea of instant food especially with the introduction of computer generated software for applications such as Uber Eats. 
c. This is a service based industry so a customer will be someone who wants to have easily accessible food or delicious fast food. Most customers will be prior food enthusiasts.
d. This opportunity is hard to exploit since it is run by a few bigger named apps making the barrier to entry tough.
Why?
With the growing popularity of on the go e-marketplaces such as e-commerce clothes and such, food is the next "on the go" e market place.
Regulatory-
1.
a. http://www.nutritionaloutlook.com/regulatory/supplement-industry-fda-cbd-regulations-we-cant-wait-years
b. This article shows how the market for CBD is being closely looked at by the FDA in order to determine claims made by companies.
c. Since this is a new market the companies that actually do have CBD and those who are fraudulent with their products will fall off once the FDA deems a substantial dosage for CBD induced formulas.
d. This is an easier market to get into because of regulations, once there is a set amount of dosages that FDA deems as a minimum CBD products' with higher dosages or more effective dosages will do better.
Why?
With the new market of CBD regulations will set the standard of which is good and bad products bringing back a correction of establishment in the market of market shares.
2.
a.https://www.prohormone-expert.com/prohormones-legal-usa-2019-update/
b. I found in this article the changing market of prohormones which are derivatives of PED, each year the FDA comes out with new regulations and is changing the way prohormone formulas can be dosed and which compounds are deemed acceptable.
c. This is a product based industry because of the product benefit analysis being the highest yield of consumer importance. Gym goers and bodybuilders love prohormones because they are not considered anabolic steroids but mimic the results.
d. This is an easier market to hit because the regulations are always changing and companies have to reformulate the product to fit FDA approved lists.
Why?
Many supplement companies have switched from traditional protein powders and fat burners to invest in new compounds and herbal supplements to help benefit their product line.

  1. Hello Matthew.

    I found your blog post to be very interesting. As I went on to read the articles, I thought for a second that you may have had a foot topic pattern going. But after completing my last article, I notice the only patterns were great articles that could provide a great example of finding an opportunity. I enjoyed reading all your “why” categories. You made your stance very clear and gave it great supporting details from the article,

  2. Hello Matthew
    Your post is excellent and super detailed. The articles you choose were unique. The one that I like the most was about the changing market in prohormones that is changing the way prohormone formulas can do. Excellent post.

  3. Hey Matthew,

    Great analysis of both economic and regulatory trends. These trends definitely show great potential for opportunity exploitation. The food industry and CBD industry are two that are very hard to truly ground yourself into without proper guidance but the articles you provided show it is certainly possible. Even the recognition of the growing fitness industry that demands new and better things is a great way to sum up this assignment.
