Going down?
That is if the number of Internet users don't grow and since it is so easy to spin up an instance even for just $5 a month these days, many people are rather willing to spin up more than they would have physically to use more IPv4 addresses.
But seeing how attaching an extra IP to an instance is so cheap everywhere, it seems there's no immediate threat to lack of address spaces but I'd like to know about a proper research.

new techniques such as SNI [0] enable more websites to be hosted behind the same IP. I do not know what it means for security or if there are any major trade offs, but I am acutely aware that it is widely used.
