Cosmetics is so 80s. Gone are the days companies like AVON can milk the working women for cash with their make-ups.
Healthcare I feel is gone with the 90s. Too saturated with too many products. Unless another blue pill emerges, it's pretty boring. Fountain of youth pill sounds about right.
Basically I think healthcare will stagnate. As the world tighten it's belts, more importance will be to have cheaper healthcare. So the big money gained from these will be affected. Generic drugs which are cheap, mass produced in 3rd world countries are the way to go.
I share the view that water and natural gas will be the next frontier.
Simply because the world has an excess of cheap clean gasses but the only difficult part is the structures needed to contain and transport them is expensive. The prices are more stable and a lot cheaper and efficient that petrol.
Water is the basic element we need to survive and will be the next focus. As more lakes dry up around the world and underground water being depleted, the need for more cheap and efficient way of salination and filtration will be needed to sustain the worlds population. Who knows, maybe the technology of harnessing the water from air will be mass produced. But currently most will be concentrated on filtration of sewage for the recycled water, and filtering contaminated water reserves for consumption.

Healthcare - while we're waiting for the miracle cancer curing drugs... but the drugs to remove nicotine addiction is already here.
So, as millions of people are trying to kick the cigarettes habit..in the next decades .these are sure sell for now.
As for energy/natural resources.. I'm betting on Solar and Wind energy and other renewable energy source to be the alternative to help to drive our next step forward, while we reduce our consumption on fossil fuel.
