What is a niche?
Are you new to dropshipping? Do not know what a “niche” is. Don’t worry, we’ve got you.
Dropshipping niches are a more focused section within a larger category. Pet products are a specific niche in the Home and Garden category. Necklaces are a particular niche within Jewelry.
By focusing on a niche, you will be able to get to know the people who are most likely going for your product or service – your market niche. You may even be able to tap into a market niche that is currently underserved. This could give you many opportunities. This list will help you to choose the right place for your smaller audience.
Home & Garden
Dropshipping merchants made the most money between September 1 and November 18. Home & Garden generated almost 54 percent more revenue for merchants than the next category, Jewelry & Accessories.
Home & Garden doesn’t have the most orders – that honor belongs to Jewelry & Accessories – but it does show that the products sold in this category tend to be more expensive than those of other categories.
Pet Products
Pet Products topped the list and made more money than all other niches. No surprise people are spending more money on pets. This trend does not seem to be going away. The global pet market will reach almost 270 billion dollars by 2025. There’s a whole lot of kibbles to be won.
Kitchen, Dining & Bar
The next niche targeted in 2020 is the Kitchen, Dining, and bar. It can be used to sell kitchen equipment online and make a monthly profit. This niche’s most popular products include knives and food storage solutions. However, novelty items like a self-stirring mug are also trendy. It’s worth keeping in mind when we start the holiday season.
The winner in this category is a multi-function can opener.
Home Textile
Sofa covers were not on my list of expected bestsellers in the Home Textile niche. There is an excellent demand for chair and sofa covers, and they have generated a lot of money for dropshipping retailers over the past few months. Also on the list were memory foam pillows, cushions, and an amusing-looking travel pillow.
Festive & Party Supplies
Halloween products dominated the niche. The most popular item in this niche was the giant decorative spider, but many other things, such as foil-plated flowers, also generated significant revenue.
Housekeeping & Organization
Microwave cleaners, brooms, and gloves were popular from September to November. These items may not look super stylish, but they are efficient. That’s what makes them popular.
Jewelry & Accessories
Jewelry & Accessories is a category that you will always find in the Jewelry & Accessories section. One of the highest earning categories Between September 1 and November 18, it was the second-highest revenue generator for dropshipping retailers.
This category is less profitable than Home & Garden but sells more products, indicating it’s trendy.
Necklaces & Pendants
The fact that many products are available and can be purchased reasonably from suppliers is likely to explain why this niche has performed well for so long.
Some of the most popular necklaces had pendants with obvious unique selling points, such as star signs or name necklaces. Others featured sweet messages and were perfect gifts for friends or partners.
Bracelets and Bangles
Bracelets and Bangles are the next most popular niche after necklaces. The last few months have seen many popular items, such as those with colorful charms and stones or bracelets in pairs, perfect for couples.
