February 2024, Microsoft Windows remains the leading desktop operating system worldwide, holding approximately 72% market share. Over the years, Apple’s macOS has steadily gained ground though, now accounting for about 20% of the market. Meanwhile, Linux and Google’s Chrome OS maintain small yet stable shares.

Ever since the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, AI tools have been all the rage. While there have been AI-powered tools before OpenAI released ChatGPT to the public, none of them gained as much public attention and hype. Word of ChatGPT’s capabilities spread like wildfire online and within days,?more than a million people?had registered to use it. ChatGPT was the first generative AI tool to reach mass adoption, giving millions of people around the world a taste of what large language models are capable of. Ever since then, other tools have popped up left and right, as more and more companies brought their own AI-powered tools to market. Whether it's image generation and enhancing tools such as Adobe Firefly or AI-powered productivity suites such as Microsoft's Copilot - there are many ways in which companies try to leverage the capabilities of AI, but so far none has come as close to mainstream adoption as?ChatGPT?has. According to surveys conducted by?Statista Consumer Insights?in 2022, 2023 and 2024, ChatGPT has always been ahead of the pack. While the landscape around it is constantly changing as more and more companies bring their tools to life, ChatGPT has retained its first-mover advantage, although Meta AI has caught up with the market leader in the 2024 survey. With Apple having entered the market in late 2024, it will be interesting to see how the adoption curve of Apple AI will look like. With its huge installed base of devices and its loyal customer base, Apple has the potential to shake things up.

According to?International Energy Agency?Critical Minerals Policy Tracker, the last two years save seen many new policies created across the world in relation to critical minerals and their recycling. Developed countries in Europe, North America and Asia have introduced policies that have covered the most different issues, from defining what clean energy minerals are, developing a strategic plan and regulating trade and stockpiling to investing. Policies are also quite common in South America. While most countries start out with definitions and a strategic plan, richer nations typically also cover investments (even though Bolivia and Mexico also have this in place). India and China both have made a critical minerals strategic plan. While India has also defined minerals, China has a policy for public investment. The IEA points out that matching cross-border definitions can make organized trade in critical mineral recyclables much easier. At the same time, international coordination mechanisms can make the exchange, but also the protection of a country's interest in critical minerals better. Stockpiling meanwhile also protects the energy independence of a country.?The United States have policies?in four different subsectors in place, only matched by the European Union.

Despite inflation cooling to the lowest level in more than three years in recent months, there's no way around the fact that?consumer prices in the United States?have risen sharply over the past three years, as several factors came together to form a perfect storm of inflationary pressures. Since February 2020, the last month before the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the global economy, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) has increased 21.7 percent. Assuming the Fed’s targeted 2-percent inflation rate, prices would only have increased by 9.7 percent during that period, illustrating how severe the recent inflation surge has been. More importantly though,?prices are going to remain elevated?even if inflation returns to its target level of 2 percent, meaning that the effects of the inflation crisis will linger. Not all prices are created equal, however, and while some expenditure categories have seen prices rise even more steeply than 21.7 percent since February 2020, others have barely budged. As our chart shows, the Consumer Price Index for Transportation, which includes new and used vehicles, airline fares, gasoline and others transportation-related goods and services, has risen most quickly since February 2020. At the other end of the scale, prices for education and communication, including for example tuition, postage and telephone services, increased by just 4.9 percent over the same period. Other expenditure categories with above-average price increases since the start of the pandemic are food and beverages as well as housing, which are up 26 and 24.9 percent since February 2020, respectively. Prices in recreation, apparel and medical care have seen more modest increases over the past four and a half years.

In the last century, autocratic regimes dominated the world and democracies were in the minority. It was only after the Second World War that autocracies began to decline, a trend that accelerated with the collapse of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. Since then, both forms of government have been close to each other in quantitative terms, as the Statista animation with data from Our World in Data shows. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the downward trend of autocracies has stopped, which could be due to the rise of populism and dwindling trust in established democratic parties. The source distinguishes between four types of regime: closed autocracies such as Saudi Arabia, in which no free elections are held, and electoral autocracies such as Egypt, in which elections are manipulated. The animation summarizes both regime forms under “autocracies”. In the case of democracies, it distinguishes between liberal democracies such as Germany and electoral democracies such as Poland, which have come under pressure in recent years. While liberal democracies guarantee comprehensive rights of freedom and separation of powers, electoral democracies only partially fulfill these.

Every year since 2019, we have surveyed more than 100,000 employees across the European continent to create the FT-Statista ranking of companies that may be considered Europe’s Diversity Leaders.
