This was fun a decade ago, when we made predictions for 2020. But the thing is, no matter how experienced you are or how much you think you know about speedcubing, this predictions will never be accurate, as long as you try to justify them is some way or another. Great example is Sebastiano Tronto who thought FMC Single will be 17 in 2030, but he got 16 10 years earlier.

Predictions for December 2030:
3x3: 2.42/4.09 (Done with CFOP)
2x2: 0.29/0.83
4x4: 12.70/16.90
5x5: 28.00/32.50
6x6: 0:55/0:58
7x7: 1:22/1:28
Blind: 9.90/12.80
FMC: 16/19.67
OH: 5.00/7.20 (Done with Roux)
Clock: 1.69/2.50
Mega: 22.50/25.00
Pyra: 0.75/1.25
Skewb: 0.75/1.25
Sq1: 2.20/4.00
4BLD: 45.00/49.00
5BLD: 1:30/1:40
MBLD: 85 points

Max Park will become irrevelant. All WRs lost.
CFOP and reduction will remain to be superior methods for 3x3-7x7.
OH average will get down to low-7 with Roux and low-8 with CFOP.
WCA will continue to use Speedstacks timers.
People will one-look 2x2, skewb, pyraminx, square-1 and clock.
World records will become so ridiculous, that even prodigies will lose their hope for getting one. Focus will be switched to obtaining championship titles.

It's highly unlikely that someone gets a sub-1 average in 2x2 because when they see that they're on track for it, they're bound to mess up.
Ah well, it's bound to happen sometime. Zayn already has a 1.02, (and it's a 0.99 mean), and Zayn is consistently sub-WR2.
