FWIW, vampire romance has fallen off to be replaced by multiple paranormal creatures (werewolves, zombies, human-bears, etc). Mystery cozies currently are being saturated by romance writers who do no research and can't write very good mysteries. Soon this will turn readers off the genre and they will look elsewhere. Space opera is very big in scifi right now.
Obviously, there is other stuff - this is just a microcosm that I have gleaned.

I'm waiting for the Military Cozy genre to blow-up, myself.
