Amazon Trends: What Products to Sell in Q1-Q2 of 2022
Amazon Trends: What Products to Sell in Q1-Q2 of 2022
When you start selling on Amazon it’s important to research historical Amazon trends so that your business is built around a product likely to be successful. If your products don’t sell, you’ll be stuck with inventory that no one wants. This means the money you invested into your business will be inaccessible while you have to take the time to research more products.
By understanding current product trends you can know what to look for when choosing a niche. In this article, we will examine what you should look for when choosing an Amazon Niche going into early 2022.
Niche ideas
Finding a good niche comes from data. The data doesn’t lie, which is why we emphasize the following to understand consumer preferences:
Analysis of Amazon reviews using an AI system.
Usage of “big data” to determine product qualities customers focus on.
Focus on customer reviews to understand how products must be improved.
A holistic approach to data gathering to make these improved features stand out.
So if you are looking for new niche ideas, here is what our data says are some of the best niches for Amazon:
iPhone 13 Cases
Cell phone cases are traditionally high-selling and the new editions for the iPhone 13 ProMax are no exception. These products make for a great Amazon niche as they are small and easy to ship. They are also simple to make and can be sourced from a variety of suppliers.
While demand spikes when new models are first released (fall 2021 for this particular model), it maintains a solid level throughout the year.
Key niche metrics:
Average monthly revenue: $280,000
Average monthly sales: 12,974
Average net margin: 78%
Sea Grapes
Sea Grapes, also known as green caviar, a seaweed used to replace a salad or vegetable. This is another Amazon niche with a small item that is easy to ship meaning you can enjoy low FBA fees. The margins are solid meaning you are set to profit if your products sell.
The overall number of sales for this niche is a little lower than others on this list. However, with extremely low competition, this niche should continue to see positive sales trends.
Key niche metrics:
Average monthly revenue: $16,466
Average monthly sales: 1,013
Average net margin: 65%
Kale Chips
Kale Chips are another food product with promise in early 2022. The market has very low top brand competition and there is growing demand as the niche is still relatively young.
Items in this niche have slightly lower average margins. This will limit how much you can profit but without saturation of sellers and many very low-quality listings, you should gain quick entry into the market.
Key niche metrics:
Average monthly revenue: $27,217
Average monthly sales: 1,376
Average net margin: 54%
Dancing Cactus
Dancing cactus toys are a popular choice for people buying something fun for their kids to play with. These items have high margins and there is low competition.
The Niche Score report available through the AMZScout PRO extension scores this niche a 9 out of 10 as it has almost every success factor in its favor. The average sales have some room to grow but expect this to be a popular shopping choice in 2022.
Key niche metrics:
Average monthly revenue: $15,114
Average monthly sales: 528
Average net margin: 78%
Spy Camera Pen
The spy camera pen is a clever item that you can use to both write and record hidden videos. The niche is new and unsaturated with very few top brands and AMZ sellers.
The average sales price is in the ideal range to encourage frequent sales. The niche is newer so the average sales per month are on the lower side. But, like other strong Amazon trends, this item is steadily growing in demand.
Key niche metrics:
Average monthly revenue: $15,114
Average monthly sales: 528
Average net margin: 78%
How Can You Find High-Potential Products by Yourself?
The markets are constantly changing, and it is important to establish products based on historical data and in-depth analytics. Relying on products with short-term appeal will leave you with high levels of inventory based on seasonal needs. While you might eventually sell those products, good Amazon sellers have primary products that last beyond social and seasonal trends. A seller should validate the potential of products not only by checking the sales and price history, but also by analyzing demand and competition, estimating the costs and possible revenue, and more.
