JPEG XL is a strong contender.

If it's well integrated with HTTP2 and browsers then progressive loading is a second "killer app" it provides and again that alone could probably justify its rollout as the subjective improvement in partial loading display would be dramatic even if the objective improvements were equal or even negative.
