The franchise industry is growing at an exponential rate. The growth is driven by the franchising of new industries, such as cannabis and beauty. Franchisers are looking for opportunities to grow their business and are expanding into new areas. They are also looking for ways to make the process easier for consumers and entrepreneurs alike. The rise of the digital economy has created a new level of opportunity for entrepreneurs and small businesses. The internet has made it possible to start a business from anywhere in the world and reach customers on every continent. The most important trend that will shape franchising in 2022 is technology. Digital technologies have enabled more people to start their businesses, as well as find new ways to grow existing ones. Technology also enables companies to reach customers on every continent, which has led to an increase in international franchising opportunities.

In recent years, the franchise industry has been booming. The number of franchised businesses in the U.S. has increased by more than 50% since 1997, and these numbers are only expected to grow in the future. The two major trends that will shape the future of franchising are technology and a focus on sustainable business practices. As more people become aware of how important sustainability is for our planet, some franchises are already taking steps to make their business practices more eco-friendly. For example, SpaceX's Elon Musk recently announced that Tesla would be producing solar shingles for its new line of roofs so homeowners can generate and store their energy at home.

The franchising industry is a $1 trillion market globally. The growth of franchising in the United States has been steady since the 1980s, with a few dips and spikes along the way. In recent years, there has been an increase in demand for franchises with diverse offerings, such as food trucks and healthy eating options. This is because people have become more health-conscious, making it difficult for single-concept franchises to thrive.

This year's top trends are:

1) Franchisors will be looking for franchisees who can help them grow their business and expand their geographic footprint by opening new locations and markets.

2) Franchisors will be looking for franchisees who can help them reach new audiences through innovative products or services.
