The time is not too far when people will begin making all their searchers using voice-activated UI.
More privacy factors

However, the laws are not applicable in the Indian subcontinent till yet, but still, we can safeguard the customer data and stay on the safer side. We can easily become GDPR compliant without many efforts or making any such changes in our existing architecture.
Simpler authentication
Users generally face password related problems while they are setting a new password. Users wish to set a password which is easy to remember but hard to crack. Isn't it? And the real problem arises when the user forgets the password, requests a new password, receives a link in his inbox, and then resets a new password. To overcome this problem, we will promptly experience new password methods with less-login steps like biometric authentication, magic link, or even temporary passwords.
Inclusive designs
As the technology widens, it will make it easy for users with certain disabilities like haptic conditions, color blindness or any other similar conditions to reap benefits of various products and services easily. New and smarter designs will offer a more unique and user-friendly experience to use products in various environments.
Multi-device experience
The rising number of smart devices usage is simply unbelievable and this has transformed the way people access data. The older approach of 'mobile-friendly' concept will now be replaced by the 'multi-device' experience where smoother user experience over new devices will become the prime priority.

Wearables will not be limited to this, rather this year we will experience wearables in the health industry as well to manage multiple tasks.
From flat design to material design
The main focus of flat design revolved around usability and open, clean, crisp edges, and bright colors through 2D illustrations. But the material design has plans beyond this. It will include better grid-based layouts, transitions, padding, and responsive animations. Moreover, it will bring designs into 3D technology.
