Our comprehensive data analysis uses sales data and customer feedback to identify which products are in high demand and meet customer needs. By analyzing sales trends, you can see which products are selling well and which ones are not. By looking at customer feedback, you can learn about their experiences with the product, what problems they faced, and whether the product met their expectations. By combining these two types of data, you can gain a better understanding of what customers are looking for and what products are likely to succeed in the market.

3. Monopoly-Free

discover monopoly-free niche by monitoring the market trends.

if you can find a product with low competition, you're immediately ahead of the game — there is no single major name brand which dominates this particular market. That means the competition is the less cutthroat. Customers don't have a “go-to” brand for this niche — for example, electronics. This is a poor choice because you'll have an immediately hindrance with Apple and Samsung dominating the market so significantly. But if you go for bone conduction headphones, there is a good chance of success or gaining a significant market share.

There are a few ways to find monopoly-free niche on Amazon:

• Research your competition: Look at the products and categories that your competitors are selling in, and see if there are any gaps or areas where they are not well-represented.
• Keep an eye on trends: Keep an eye on trends in niche markets to see if there are any new attributes or functions that are emerging.

4. Profitable

It's crucial to know the price range of your target product and calculate the potential profit to ensure that you can earn a profit on the products you sell. to do this, you can use the "3X rule" or "rule of 3's." This rule assumes that each product sale is broken down into three parts: one-third for fees, one-third for landed costs (including sourcing and shipping to Amazon), and one-third for profit. For example, if a product sells for $30, you should expect to earn a profit of $10.

By comparing prices and calculating potential profits, you can identify products with a high potential for profitability. However, it's important to note that this is just one aspect to consider when evaluating products to sell on Amazon. Other factors, such as competition, demand, and market saturation, should also be taken into account.

Market Insights

1. Track new releases or best sellers of your competitor

Unless you closely follow what your competitors are selling, you are missing a lot in terms of becoming a successful seller. To make profits pour in, you need an item that is profitably priced, easily shipped, and features a good demand.

Here are some key factors, which determine if an item meets the following criteria:

• New released/BSR product with a growth trend
• Items that aren’t sold by Amazon or other big brands.
• Leading product search terms that have 10,000 searches per month but not more.
• The related product listings have 50 reviews or even less

2. Discover which product attributes have growth potential

• Growth and Share

To determine what products to sell, one way is to analyze the market by looking into the market share distribution of different brands and the growth trends of various styles within niche markets. By doing this, you can identify niche markets with strong growth demand and low market monopolies. These are the markets with the greatest market potential, and where you should focus your efforts. The lower the market monopoly and the stronger the growth trend of a specific niche market, the greater the market potential it holds.

This approach aims to improve the accuracy and success rate of product selection.
