I think steampunk will replace the urban fantasy market within the next year or two. Urban fantasy is collapsing under a dearth of too similar,second rate product and that inevitably forces a collapse.
Personally I'd like to see more "body horror" ala David Cronenbergs films and I think "bio-horror" will be a big genre i.e. ecological catastrophe or the merging of flesh and machine.
At the end of the day though, the kid in me wants to see some giant bugs or dinosaur/demon based survival horror lol.
