Morphology
The meaning 'the process of examining data to identify patterns' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'trend' (direction of change) with 'analysis' (systematic examination). This noun–noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic logic, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Trend analysis comes from the simple image of watching a line or path over time: trend is the line's direction and analysis is the careful study of that line. So, looking at a chart or data to find a 'pattern' or 'direction' is why the phrase means studying data over time to spot consistent changes.
