In This Episode, We Discuss the Most Popular Amazon Dropshipping Categories of 2022.

Know the most popular Amazon dropshipping products so your store performs at its best.

Often, entrepreneurs are encouraged to design their businesses around their passions. While this can be a great approach for custom products or service-based businesses, in the world of dropshipping, finding a niche that has enough traffic and popularity is one of the most important keys to success. The beautiful thing about the managed Amazon business seller store model is that you don’t have to be passionate about your product offerings to be successful.

Before launching a new Amazon seller store, the product categories are picked for you by a team of experts who know the fastest moving products with the highest margins that will draw in a steady stream of revenue. To demonstrate an overview of what an Amazon dropshipping specialist looks for when picking winners, below we’ve assembled a list of 5 product categories that are booming this year:

Apparel and Footwear

Since about 76% of adults in the US shop online regularly, selling apparel through a dropshipping business is a great way to reach customers. This is a great category to get started in because the product offerings are extremely broad, and designs are easy to customize. A simple line of t-shirts or funky socks can be highly profitable without requiring much work on the backend. Buying clothes online is more common than ever, so by not taking advantage of this common consumer behavior, you’re leaving money on the table.

Baby Items

Parents have more research than ever at their disposal, so selling baby products will require careful supplier selection to ensure you develop a trustworthy brand, but it’s a fast-growing market. In 2020, the estimated value of this market was $67.35 billion, but in 2022, the market is expected to capture $88.72 billion. That’s quite an uptick!

Beauty & Skincare

The beauty industry, a perennial-performing category, is expected to grow yearly at 7.7% from now until 2030, leaving plenty of space for new businesses to enter the market. Social media has made everyone more aware than ever of their appearance, leading to a surge in buying beauty-related products such as cosmetics, skincare, and haircare. An interesting niche to consider in this market is sustainable, cruelty-free products; consumers are demanding more and more to align with the values of brands they support, and this behavior is on the rise.

Pet Supplies

According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 90.5 million families in the U.S. own a pet. With a surge in pet adoption during the pandemic, doting pet owners are more common than ever. By selling great products for “man’s (or woman’s) best friend,” and other animals, dropshipping businesses can find major success.

Kitchen Supplies

We all saw air fryers and Instant Pots take over the world, and with more people working from home, kitchen supplies will continue to be an important area of investment for consumers. To be clear, “kitchen supplies” refers to more than just small appliances; sellers can also find great success selling water bottles, lunch boxes, mugs, and more

This is a Small Sample

There are many wonderful product categories to dive into as an Amazon dropshipping business owner, but these are a few you cannot go wrong with. No matter what markets you choose to enter, be sure to do research regarding your offerings to ensure you will reach the right consumers. Or partner with a leader in the setup, management, and constant optimization of your Amazon business — such as PushAMZ — and just let them do all the hard work for you.
