1. Demand
It’s no secret that modern users demand high quality. They want to get the desired result with maximum comfort and speed. This shapes trends in performance, appearance, interactions, and emotions.
New design trends appear each year, and it’s important to keep up, but don’t feel the need to redesign your software each time something new comes up. On average a design can stay relevant for 3-4 years before there comes a time for significant redesign. Until then, add some fresh design elements into your software product and show your users that you are up to date.

2. Competition
The battle for users is tough. Competition influences product development and gives rise to new development trends. More often than not, trends are driven by large companies and others pick them up. When Apple or Google significantly redesign their products, the interest for user interface and user experience audit grows for all other businesses, as new trends are set.
3. Progress
Technology does not stand still, and new devices require new methods of interaction. Folding smartphones are a prime example.
