Pinterest is a go-to for many people when they need inspiration or want to learn a new hobby. With a wide range of topics from gardening to painting and interior decoration, there is something for everyone on the app.
But Pinterest isn’t just a place for inspiration; it’s also a place for trends. The app’s trends increase by around 56% every six months, compared to 38% elsewhere.
Every year, the app makers predict topics that will trend across social media apps based on searches, and they are often correct.
For content creators and marketing experts, this is a cheat code. They can grow their page with the right Pinterest metrics by staying ahead of the trends.
This article will share how vital Pinterest trend predictions are and the top ten Pinterest Trends of 2022.
Pinterest has about 89.9 million American users, 60% of whom are women.
Unlike other social apps like Facebook, where many want to message their networks, Pinners are on the app for products and inspiration. For example, 4 in 10 Pinterest users research brands and products using the platform.
Interestingly, 97% of the products on the app are unbranded. So, small business owners flock to Pinterest.
Besides, Pinterest trends grow fast and last 20% longer than any other app. Some of the top trends on the app are home decor, recipes, style and beauty, fitness, and travel inspiration. More importantly, 85% of the users also use the mobile app, which means they can access and engage with your content on the go.
