I feel that there are places that could use more, but at the same time, I have heard many people complain about how there is no (Paraphrasing here) "REal way for anyone new to enter into trading or industry" I have found a couple profitable things but as of yet I am not making billions with it (Not really focusing 100% either though) But I can see how new traders feel overwhelmed when they look at the big hubs, and then try to sell somewhere else, they get messed up by the 'numbers game' seeing millions of one item being sold in one region and only hundreds or thousands in another.
Many many years ago, when I was some months old, I met a guy while I was mining. We started talking (his eve age was even younger than mine) and I ended up donating him few millions out of goodwill. No expectations, I just said take this money it will help you making a good start. A month later I found 400 million in my wallet and a letter saying he gave this game a shot but it's not for him and he was leaving for good, since I was kind and generous to him, I could inherit all this net worth. Now this was before the time of Plex, but there were ISK traders around so he probably bought that ISK.
Eve is a difficult place and selfishness is always promoted, but beginning of my story points out, good deeds may pay off (sometimes). I took that 400M and used it for trading eventually. I made billions out of it, and I was a newcomer. If the market is impossible to enter now, it was impossible to enter back then too. If you think that 400 million was the key, No... you can invest few dollars today, buy a single plex to sell and still enter the market in case thats the issue. Reality is, options were more limited in the past.
Here is the Key: I roamed a lot and memorized all the prices. It's not only about security levels. You gotta travel the universe and have a clear understanding in your mind what the price differences are, what the current issues, and needs. When you have a clear picture, you can make very handsome profits, more than anybody ever believed newcomers can do so. You gotta know the universe you live in though, you need to invest in this knowledge.
Answer the other part of your question: There may be new hubs to emerge, but yes the historic hubs will always be the main ones unless something changes and Jita's surrounding becomes low sec and invaded. Just as NY Stock Exchange will always be NYSE. If trading there is difficult, creating a new major stock exchange (hub) is even more to do so. That doesn't mean Null sec hubs don't work but they have their own nature, the rules of trading are very different than secure major hubs there. You can't create a new Jita in null sec. Null sec won't have a "healthy" market, but it can bring you a good profit if you can satisfy the nature of null sec business.
