The top 10 niches for dropshipping in 2025 have all been personally researched by me (Anton) and are all niches that I have confidence in for 2025 and beyond.
As explained in the top 10 niche video below, this is because, in 2025, we are focusing on niches that will continue to sell well (without price increases) after the proposed tariffs of up to 60% are implemented.
2025: Made in the USA Dropshipping Niches
As you will see in this list, all of these niches have a high concentration of suppliers that make their products in the USA.
One main benefit of dropshipping products made in the USA in 2025 is avoiding the upcoming tariffs on products made in China.
These tariffs are expected to be up to 60%, which will increase wholesale prices and, in turn, retail prices.
This will lead to "sticker shock" from consumers, who will see prices inflate in a matter of months. I expect this to translate to lower sales.
Made-in-the-USA products have no tariffs, which means no price increases and more sales for those who sell in these niches and work with these suppliers in 2025 and beyond.
Here are my Top 10 Made-in-the-USA Dropshipping Niches for 2025:
- Musical Instruments (Grand Pianos, Drum Sets, Violins, Brass Instruments, etc)
- Sculptures (Indoor and Outdoor)
- Industrial Machinery (Laser Engraving Machines, Embroidery Machines, etc)
- Motorcycle Parts/Accessories (Replacement Parts, Aftermarket Upgrades, etc)
- Living Room Furniture (Sofas, Chairs, Tables, Rugs)
- Cookware Sets (Stainless Steel and Cast Iron)
- Watercrafts (Fishing Kayaks, Stand Up Paddleboards, etc)
- Horse Saddles (Many Options From USA Craftsman)
- Tactical & Outdoor Gear (Helmets, Full Body Tactical Suits, etc)
- Barbecue Grills (Great Price Points and Many Made in the USA)

2024: AI Generated Dropshipping Niches
The top 10 niches for dropshipping in 2024 have all been personally researched by me. However, all of the product ideas have been generated by AI!
As explained in the top 10 niche video below, this is because, in 2024, I'm trying to "think outside the box" and brainstorm niche ideas that I haven't brainstormed myself in the past 10 years...
With AI, we can now "dig deeper" when brainstorming niches, providing opportunities in previously under-severed markets.
Here are my Top 10 Best Dropshipping Niches in 2024:
As you will see in this list, leveraging AI for niche selection has enabled us to brainstorm unique product ideas and what I would consider previously "hidden" product ideas.
- 1Pedicure Chairs: Not something I have personal experience with (hence why I didn't think of it myself). AI gave me this niche idea when I asked for expensive products similar to massage tables. My research shows this niche has an average price point of $2,500, plenty of demand with 22,000 average monthly searches, low competition, and they sell year-round, making it a perfect niche for 2024!
- 2Manicure Tables: I asked AI to provide a list of expensive products similar to pedicure chairs, and it gave me manicure tables. I researched this niche to find an average price point of $500 (not bad on a product that typically receives bulk orders), average monthly demand of 14,800, and low competition.
- 3Ice Baths: I found this niche when looking for "expensive products people buy for their backyards". I wasn't sure of how popular they are but my research found a whopping 201,000 average monthly searches, and an average price point of $3,100, making this a great niche for 2024.
- 4Sensory Tables: The first time I heard of these was when AI gave me a list of expensive products purchased for classrooms. I researched this niche to find an average price point of $250, an average monthly demand of 18,100, low competition, and 0 seasonality, making this niche easily earn its place in the top 10.
- 5Optics & Scopes: Gun safes have always been a great dropshipping niche, but I wanted to find more high-ticket products that would appeal to the same market. When researching this niche, I found an average price point of $760 (well above what I would have guessed) and an average monthly demand of 135,000.
- 6Steam Tables: Yet another niche I wasn't aware of until asking AI to provide me with a "list of expensive products purchased by restaurants". I first Googled them to see what they were, then went on with the research to find a high average price point of $1,700 and a substantial monthly demand of 40,500.
- 7Murphy Beds: Bedframes and bedroom furniture are niches that typically come to mind when brainstorming, but remember, we're thinking outside the box in 2024. I asked AI for more examples of expensive items people purchase for their bedrooms, and it came back with murphy beds. Research shows an impressive average price point at $2,850 and a MASSIVE monthly demand of 450,000! Who knew? (not me :p)
- 8Lecterns & Podiums: This niche came from an AI prompt asking for a list of expensive items purchased for offices. My initial thought was, "there's no way these things are expensive," but my research proved me wrong. Average price point of $2,850, and average monthly demand of almost 500,000.
- 9Steam Showers: Saunas have been on my niche list for a while, but I wanted to see if there were any similar "hidden" products that are related. AI gave me steam showers, and I'm happy it did! I found an average price point of $4,800 and an average monthly demand of 40,500.
- 10Carports: These are examples of products I never saw growing up in Nassau County on Long Island and would have never thought of myself, but according to my research, I'm in the minority! Research shows an average sale price of $3,900 and an average monthly demand of almost half a million people, making this a great niche to close out the top 10 niches for dropshipping in 2024.
2023: Recession Proof Drop Ship Niches
The top products to dropship in 2023 did not change as drastically as it did a few years ago, but there are some notable changes that I'm going to discuss in last year's top 10 dropshipping niches of 2023.
The market and economy may be changing, but these profitable drop shipping niche ideas will absolutely still work far into the future.
Let’s get 2023 with Recession-Proof Niches. These are products that will sell regardless of what happens with the economy. We’re focusing on these because of these changes:
Here are my Top 10 Best Dropshipping Niches in 2023:
- 1Nursery Room Furniture: Parents never skip on baby supplies. Drop ship in-demand cribs, dressers, art, shelving, and more supplies that babies will need. Parents will always spend money on their children.
- 2Camping Gear: Families may choose to spend their vacations camping instead of going to expensive theme parks and vacation places. With this, you can sell camping equipment like tents, sleeping bags, pots and pans, and everything one would need when camping.
- 3Automotive Parts: People have been recently spending money on cars, especially used cars. To attract this target market to your store, sell car replacement parts like springs, brake pads, carburetors, etc. They’re more likely to save money by buying replacements instead of buying new cars.
- 4Power Washers: There are many instances of people losing jobs, getting pay cuts, no bonuses, etc. during a recession. To handle this, they will look for side hustles, like providing local cleaning services. You can help them by dropshipping high-quality power washers and gaining profit at the same time!
- 5Alternative Energy: More people want to save energy to cut bills. You can drop ship portable and big solar panels and other energy-saving products that they can use to do so.
- 6Hydroponics: There are less grocery bills and more fun when you invest in growing your own food. These products are good sells nowadays, especially since people are looking for things to do at home as well.
- 7Pizza Ovens: Recession results in less dine outs. The upper middle class, our target, will look for ways to have fun with their family and have meal nights with them. Because of this, they will be inclined to cook meals and snacks more often. Try dropshipping ovens used for cooking one of the family favorites - pizza!
- 8Bounce Houses: Making your home more fun is even more possible with these products! People, especially parents, are buying more of these inflatables to have fun with their families at home.
- 9Telescopes: People with hobbies are willing to spend. At the same time, children love telescopes as well and so, parents tend to purchase them as gifts for their kids.
- 10Adjustable Beds: Health is wealth and so, people will buy products that can help them with their health problems, like these adjustable beds.
2022: We Are Focusing on High Demand Niches!
Moving into 2022, we’re going for High Demand Niches. This is after finding out that customers with the ability to spend will continue buying products at higher prices but the total addressable market (TAM) may shrink.
If you’re a member of Drop Ship Lifestyle, you know that we perform a ‘Demand Test' where we aim to find at least 10,000 monthly searches for the niches we’re considering. But due to changes, we’ll now look for niches with an average monthly search (AKA Demand) of over 30,000.
With this new extreme criteria, you’ll still be able to sell to customers who’re resistant to the possibility of increasing prices. Just remember that for this niche, always follow what I’ve always mentioned, to have at least 20 suppliers for your product niches.
Here are my Top 10 Best Dropshipping Niches in 2022:
- Bedroom Furniture Sets: (Demand = 74,000, Supplier = >100)
- Persian Rugs: (Demand = 40,500, Supplier = >100)
- Chicken Coops: (Demand = 246,000, Supplier = >30)
- Bathtubs: (Demand = 165,000, Supplier = >200)
- Fire Pits: (Demand = 368,000, Supplier = >100)
- Bar Carts: (Demand = 165,000, Supplier = >100)
- Porch Swings: (Demand = 110,000, Supplier = >100)
- Gazebos: (Demand = 301,000, Supplier = >100)
- Home Saunas: (Demand = 33,100, Supplier = 50)
- Chandeliers: (Demand = 246,000, Supplier = >400)
2021: Best Dropshipping Niches for "The New Normal"
In 2021 we are focusing on "The New Normal".
Here is what has changed:
- Increased amount of people working from home.
- Increased amount of people concerned about health.
- Increase in "free" time.
- Decrease in travel
The upper middle-class has more disposable income AND has more time to fill.
If you're a member of Drop Ship Lifestyle, my coaching program, you know that we specifically market to the upper middle-class.
Right now more than ever they have extra cash, the ones who kept their jobs, that are working from home.
They aren't dealing with the usual day to day expenses. The costs associated with commuting, with going into an office. They are not traveling, so they're not spending money on that.
They have more time to fill because they are simply at home more.
This is why the best dropshipping niches for 2021 all focus on their "new lifestyle" and where they are currently spending their disposable income.
These specific niches are in no particular order, but they target the above information.
Here are my Top 10 Best Dropshipping Niches in 2021:
- Pet Supplies: Pet ownership is at an all time high. You can be the business that sells the new owners the high-ticket supplies they need, and will continue to need.
- Kitchen Supplies: With more and more people cooking at home, selling high-ticket supplies like Japanese knives or pizza ovens is more profitable than ever.
- Alternative Bicycles: Dropshipping electric bikes or adult tricycles is a great way to capitalize on the fact that more people are enjoying the outdoors.
- Home Game Room Equipment: Home sales are at record highs and so are home improvement projects. You can drop ship air hockey tables, popcorn machines, and more to everyone looking to build out their game rooms.
- Kids Workspace Equipment: Children and learning remotely and parents want them have to have a dedicated space. Drop ship children's desks and chairs to catch this growing trend.
- Water Recreation Equipment: This niche also takes advantage of the fact that so many people are enjoying their free time while staying local. Sell products like standup paddle boards and towable floats to help people enjoy the water!
- Outdoor Furniture: This is a great evergreen niche that is having a breakout year do to home owners investing their disposable income into where they're spending their time.
- Home Bar Equipment: Another area where homeowners are putting their money is into home bars. Drop ship bars, bar stools, and even kegerators and watch the sales roll in.
- Wine Refrigerators: Not everyone is into beers and cocktails. Build a store dropshipping wine refrigerators to make sure everyone over 21 is covered.
- Home Gym Equipment: This evergreen niche is booming in 2021. Drop ship home gyms, kettle bells, free weights, treadmills, elliptical trainers or pretty much anything that falls into the fitness category and you will be positioned for success!
2020: Best Dropshipping Niches for Custom Products
In 2020 we are focusing on "Custom Product Niches". Why custom products?
- Less competition
- Relationships matter
- High price points
- High profits
Here are my Top 10 Custom Product Dropshipping Niches for 2020:
- Workbenches (Customization = Shelving, Power-Strips, Drawers)

2019: Brandable Niches
Moving into 2019, we were heavily focusing on brandable drop shipping stores. That means we needed niches that give us multiple opportunities for monetization.
While it's still very possible to make a lot of money with niches that only provide the opportunity for one-off sales, I do believe that as we move into the future, the more opportunities for monetization, the better.
Here are my Top Ten Brandable Dropshipping Niches:
- Minimalist Luggage: Build a brand around travel where you can drop ship minimalist luggage. Add in another revenue stream by doing brand deals with travel companies and promoting flights as an affiliate.
- Home Gaming Setups: Build a brand around gaming where you drop ship desks, mounts, and gaming chairs. Add in another revenue stream promoting PC parts as an affiliate to earn you extra commissions.
- High-Performance Workstation: Similar to home gaming setups, you can drop ship desks, mounts, chairs, and even treadmill desks. Build a brand around productivity and add in additional revenue streams by promoting project management software.
- Home Gym Equipment: Drop ship weights, bars, stationary bikes, and kettlebells. Then build a brand around getting fit in the comfort of your own home.

- Custom Window Treatments: Shutters, blinds, shades, curtains, drapery… you can drop ship all of these products while making a great profit margin! Add in another stream of revenue by partnering with interior designers and sending them referrals!
- Recreational Boating: Build a brand around recreational boating where you drop ship replacement parts and upgrade options for boater owners. Add in another stream of revenue by doing brand deals with boat manufacturers, promoting boat shows, and promoting boat insurance as an affiliate!
- Home Theater Equipment: Build a brand around home theaters and drop ship the projector screens, the mounts, the seating, the shelving, and the popcorn machines! Increase your brand reach by showcasing different home theater setups for different size rooms. Add in an additional stream of revenue by referring clients to home theater installation companies and also by promoting the electronic components as an affiliate.
- Indoor Grow Rooms: Cash in on the growing cannabis industry by drop shipping indoor grow rooms, lighting, and related accessories. Increase your brand reach by sharing “how-to” videos. Add in another stream of revenue by doing brand deals with industry events.
- Kiteboarding Gear: This is a niche that is continuing to grow with no signs of slowing down. Drop ship the kiteboarding gear and start creating content to build your brand now. Kiteboarding will be in the Paris Olympics in 2024 which should cause a huge boom in sales. Do the work now and be positioned for even more success in the future.
2018: Best Dropshipping Niches for Repeat Purchases
Keeping long-term strategies in mind will not only help bring in a consistent cash flow but will increase the value of your store over time. Meaning, if you decide to sell your store, it will be worth more.
That’s why 2018 was the year of the Repeat Purchases Niche. With these dropshipping niches, you’ll be able to acquire customers that will buy from your dropshipping store for years to come. This means you’ll have a much higher customer lifetime value and a higher ROAS (return on ad spend).
Here are Ten of the Best Dropshipping Niches for Repeat Purchases:

2017: Community Niches
In 2017, we focused on passion-based niches that you can create Facebook groups around and become a leader in. If you build a thriving community around your products you’ll get a ton of organic and referral traffic, which means you’ll be able to sell more to your customers!
These ten niches are broad while still being specific. Meaning there are a lot of associated products you can sell with/after they purchase your main offer. Which means you’ll have huge upsells on the main offer AND be able to continually sell to them after!
So what niches are perfect for building Facebook groups?
Here are the Best Dropshipping Niches for Building a Community:
- MMA Training Equipment: Take advantage of the buzz created around fights
- Spelunking: It’s a competitive hobby, think photo bragging rights of “who climbed into that really really small hole”. Plus it’s usually a group activity.
- Survival Prepping: Think “Doomsday” preppers.
- Exotic Pet Supplies: People, LOVE their pets, and they also LOVE talking about their pets.
- RC Cars & Planes: Not just for kids. Adults pay some serious bucks for this niche.
- Rock Climbing Equipment: Also a group activity. Many rock climbers join local climbing Facebook groups to meet fellow climbers & talk “rock”!
- Lawn Care: These are the type of people who win “Lawn of the Month”.
- Robot Building: Another expensive “toy” for adults. There are even robot competitions!
- Bio-Hacking: Huge trend that has grown in popularity over the past few years.
- Amateur Photography: So many accessories to talk shop about: light boxes, stands, green screens, filters, etc.
With these ten niches, you can build up an active Facebook group that your customer will love to interact with.
More importantly, you’ll have a brand that they’ll love to buy from!
2016: Upsell Niches
2016 was the year of the upsell. We chose niches that make you more money through selling add-ons with your main product.
That means you make even more money per transaction.
Here are Ten Upsell Niches That Will Make You More Money:
- Power Tools (Value Added Upsell = Woodworking Plans)
- Drum Sets (Value Added Upsell = Drum Lessons)
- Gun Safes (Value Added Upsell = NRA Membership)
- Wall Paper (Value Added Upsell = Interior Design Consultation)
- Snowboards (Value Added Upsell = Snowboard Bags)
- Trampolines (Value Added Upsell = Safety Net)
- Fireplaces (Value Added Upsell = Fireplace Screens)
- Desks (Value Added Upsell = Office Chairs)
- Home Bars (Value Added Upsell = Bar Stools)
- Above Ground Pools (Value Added Upsell = Pool Covers)
2015: Hobby Niches
2015’s top ten dropshipping niches were all about hobby niches. People are passionate about their hobbies and will gladly spend top dollar to support that passion!
The best part? These passionate people can be targeted over and over again with new content that can be loaded into your email autoresponder. You can target the same customers repeatedly by delivering real value that they’ll love and want to share with their communities.
For you, this means less advertising costs, more qualified traffic, and more loyal customers.
Out of all the hobbies that are popular, we found that these ten dropship niches (in no particular order) were the winners:
- Aquariums
- Backpacking
- Deep Sea Fishing
- Home Brewing
- Bowhunting
- Model Trains
- Arts & Crafts
- Gardening
- Doll Houses
- Scuba-diving
These dropshipping niches have a lot of opportunities to use smaller offers for building trust with your customers. That way they’re comfortable buying your main offer.
Also, you can make some great free content with these niches to attract potential customers. You can find some additional tips on finding products in our Ultimate Drop Shipping Guide.
Conclusion
Now you have 110 of the best and most profitable drop shipping niches from the last 11 years! With these ideas, you can get started creating your own eCommerce store. And finally, live the lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

Free Training From Drop Ship Lifestyle
Hello,
I was in your free training and took lots of great notes. Thank you. May I ask how you feel about custom car wraps as a dropshipping product?
Happy to hear that Leanne! I’ve never researched that niche before, but if it meets all of the criteria I share in Modules 2 and 4 of the Drop Ship Blueprint then I’d say you’re good to go 🙂
Can you share how to find your supplier list for porch swings?

You can learn more and get a special enrollment by registering for a free training I’m hosting at this link: Free Training From Drop Ship Lifestyle
Hi Anton, if I were to drop ship something big like pool tables, how would that work with shipping? Would it dramatically cut my margins? Also do people tend to buy pool tables online or do they go to showrooms?
Hi Bruno,
You would ship them via a white glove delivery service. The majority of the time this is arranged by the supplier(s) that you work with.
Regarding showrooms, the beauty of a niche like pool tables is that are so many styles and variations that many people turn to the internet to order exactly what they want.
Hope that helps!
Anton

I have learned a lot today. Great teaching!
You’re welcome, Liliane! Always happy to share 🙂
Hi Anton!
First of all, Thanks for content!
I really liked 2020 top10 3th about CNC machines.
It is great opportunity, I’ve had that idea while ago. But is there a possibility for big success? I think it’s quite small demand for that.
100%! The beauty of this business model and with a niche like that is that you only need a few sales per day to equal huge revenue (and profit).
Been researching and note taking for a while now. Considering a Niche store with multiple products related to coffee and coffee lovers (brewers, reuseable kcups, etc), with a thought to eventually brand and possibly start own line of coffee. Seem legit?
Hi Shannon,
At first glance, I don’t think the price point would meet my criteria.

Do you think selling commerical restaurant equipment online, with the shipping cost, is a good idea?
Hi JR,
I’ve never researched that niche, but I can say that the shipping cost isn’t a concern. We sell very large and heavy items all day with no issues.
If you’d like to learn more, I’d recommend you check out my next free training class.

How can you have a semi- hands off business if you have a custom business? Seems a customized business would be 24/7 as for as customer service. Thank you for all you do.
Hi Richard,
We use different Shopify apps that allow our customers to customize products (when applicable), and then we use custom automations to forward these orders to our suppliers.
The reason I say “semi-automated” is because this is not always possible so human interaction is needed 🙂
Do you think selling lighting and chandeliers is still a good idea? What would be great side sales with these? Thanks for all you do.
Definitely! That’s a massive niche with hundreds (if not thousands) of quality suppliers.
Hi, Anton! Great post again, some food for new ideas. Anyway, I would like yo ask you as a dropshipper with huge experience, which niches are with the most profit margins? I am thinking of getting into the specialty home furniture niche, but not sure whether enough margins… Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Valeri
hi! Anton

Thanks for the tips. I want to ask will cat tower niche work? and stuffs based on this niche like cat merchandises?
Hi Nodya,
I’ve never researched that niche… but if it meets my niche selection criteria you should be good to go!
Hello Anton would you say that is a good idea to have a variety store products like in my case i have pet products, jewelry and accessories, electronics and hime improvement products or is it better to just focus on one niche i have only made teo sales in one week
Once niche only! It leads to much higher conversion rates.
Here’s an article I wrote about it:
Why We Build Niche Specific Stores When Dropshipping
Hope that helps 🙂
Thank you, that was brilliant.
You’re welcome, Doris!
Hey Anton, thanks so much for sending me the information. Please keep sending the material.. I am enjoying the length of all of the videos. I am working and saving my cash so I can join The class.
Will do, Curtis. Looking forward to working together!
How about Pets niche?
If the products are expensive enough I would so go for it! I’ve seen people do very well with things like chicken coops and bird cages 😉
Hey Anton I was just in your live webinar today would you say home spa products like home saunas could be a good niche or would the market be to small?
Hi Patrick,
I hope you enjoyed the webinar!
I have never researched dropshpping home saunas or home spa products, but if you put them through the tests I share in my free training and they pass, you should be good to go!
Really helpful Anton! Thank you.
When you say on average, you will make 20% profit margin on drop shipping products, is that including all expenses considered (ads, shipping, cost of good, website domain and shop etc..)?
You’re welcome! And yes, that is after all expenses are deducted.

It’s worth researching, but I’d assume there are a few brands that dominate the tire industry. However, they may be opportunity within the other niches you mentioned.

Thank you very helpful for. I am planning to start a store on clothing niche. Can you give me any suggestion for that?
Thanks in advance.
hey Anton, thanks for all the value you share. is music instruments niche good in 2019?
Hey Miguel,
Like with almost any niche, competition occurs at the product level.
I’m sure there is a ton of opportunity in specific brands and products within the music instruments space.
Be sure to register for my next webinar to see how we gauge competition:

Thanks!
Hi Anton, first of all, I would like to thank you for this great article.
I’m looking forward to starting my first Shopify store and I’m doing so much research to find a good niche. I have been thinking of Coffee and Tea niche as I’m assuming this will have return customers monthly. What is your advice on this Niche?
You’re welcome, Raffi! If you’re going to get into that niche, just be sure to sell the more expensive items as well!
And if you’re serious about this, you should definitely check out my webinar! Here’s the link:

Good luck!
Thank you for a great article, Anton
I think “wireless devices” or “smarthome” are interesting niches too, you guys should try it.
Hi Tinh,
I’m not a fan of selling most electronics. Too much customer service for a lifestyle businesses 🙂
Wow, what a Great Advice
Hi Anton,
Love you content and I am big fan of your podcasts. I listen to them everyday while I commute to work (makes the train journey a learning time which is great).
I had a question around seasonality, you meantion not to choose a niche that is seasonal yet you picked Kite & Boating as a nich for 2019. Aren’t those considered seasonal? I liked at Google trends and would say 50% is up and 50% of the year to drops.
Again thank you for all the value you have given us. All the best with the new move and house!
I appreciate that, Alexandros!
Regarding seasonality and the niches listed, you’re correct there is variance on how they trend based on the time of year. However, I give examples of what seasonal charts look like in the Drop Ship Blueprint and the niches that are truly seasonal have much more extreme peaks and valleys than what you’ll see for kiteboarding and boating.
If you’re a member of Drop Ship Lifestyle you can checkout the Evergreen Test lesson in Module 2 of the Blueprint to see what I mean 🙂
Hope that helps!

Great article. I’m thinking of dropshipping Curley hair products – any thoughts? Also any thoughts on how to go about locating those suppliers. Any advice from you would mean the world to me as I am just starting out . Many thanks. All the best to you.
Thanks, Mo!
Regarding dropshipping those products, it really depends on how expensive they are and if shoppers in that industry have any brand loyalty.
My advice to you is to check out my next webinar where I dive deep into niche selection and how we validate our ideas:

Just let me know if you have any questions!
I like the idea of minimalist luggage, but would that be hard to find priducts that fit the price range you recommend? Also do you think home decor is oversaturated?
Hi Anton!
I have always been into aviation and want to become an aviator some day so I was wondering if there are some good aviation related niches you could suggest?
Hi Megan,
I don’t know that industry so I really can’t think of anything off of the top of my head besides RC planes and/or replacement parts/upgrades for small aircrafts.
My advice would be to go through Modules 1 and 2 of my Drop Ship Blueprint and then use your industry knowledge to find something great 🙂
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hi! What do you think about glitter trend? I’ve found that niche with glittering products can be profitable. But I still can’t choose what to sell…
Hi Ann,
That may be a niche that is trending… however, the price point is just too low.
To make any real money you would need thousands or tens of thousands of orders per month.
That’s just too much work for too little money.
I would recommend you keep searching 🙂

What do you think about essential oils as a niche?
I think they’re not expensive enough 🙂
Too hard to acquire customers profitably at that price point. Espeicallly when drop shipping.
If you’d like to learn more about how I pick products you should check out my webinar here:

I am thinking of a Dolls niche shop. all type of dolls, dolls clothes, dolls accessories… what do you think ?
The price sounds like it would be too low… however, I’ve never researched the niche before so I can’t say for certain. Are there products/bundles that sell for over $200?
Amazing
Hi Anton,
Why is the focus regional. Why arent you encouraging your students to sell worldwide…why focus in the US if you reside in the US?
Hi Ali,
That is because most of the items we sell are large and heavy.
The cost of shipping them overseas is often greater than the cost of the products themselves so it just doesn’t make sense.
What are your thoughts on 3D printing supplies?
Hey Travis,
I like them!

it’s just an awesome post regarding finding a profitable niche for blogging and affiliate marketing because find a niche is a very difficult task for the new blogger
I’m a little confused. I see pottery/ceramics as being a top niche but when I search “pottery” on google trends it seems to be a seasonable niche, which would be a no go for a first time store, correct?
Great question, Bill!
If you check trends for the past 5 years you will see that there are small spikes around the holiday season. However, I would not consider this seasonal. A trends report for a seasonal niche will show huge peaks and valleys each year (meaning next to no sales in the offseason).
You can search hammocks and check that chart for reference of a niche that is truly seasonal.
Hope that helps!
Hi Anton,
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and research with us! It’s really very helpful for newbies to get the right niche idea from your niche list given.
Hi Sir,
Very nice article.
Nowadays I am stuck between 2 niches.
1. Men/Women (accessories, dresses, tops, belts, bags)
2. Problem solution tools (kitchen problem solutions, bathroom problems, vehicle washing tools, gardening tools) etc.
Can you help me out?
Thanks!
Glad you got value from the post! My advice is to stay away from apparel. It has a very high return rate and it’s not worth your time when just starting out.
Low margins on belts plus a struggle on finding reliable suppliers.. I drop ship belts very slow sales on ebay not sure why
Hi David,
Without knowing much about your business, my advice would be to get off eBay on bringing your store and sales onto Shopify.

Wow, thanks for creating this! Can I ask, what type of restocking is there in restaurant equipment? I would think that equipment is ordered once and lasts years
Hi Rox,
Few ideas off the top of my head…
If you sold commercial deep fryers you could sell oil.
If you sold commercial blenders & drink machines you could sell glassware.
If you sold buffets you could sell food trays.
Hope that helps!
Awesome list but what is bio-hacking
Basically everything that Dave Asprey talks about. Things like float tanks and blue blocker glasses 🙂
Anton your a genius
Nice research Anton Kraly. The top 10 Niches from 2015 to 2018 are here now. These are 100% genuine list. I will begin to keep following your blog.
Good job. Please keep sharing.
Thanks, Vivek! And keep checking back to the blog every week! We release a new eCommerce / drop shipping post every Tuesday 🙂
Love this idea, it’s limitless and tests ones creativity in order to make a sustainable business. My whole life I feel as if I’ve been in the wrong job. I started as a carpenter, then I learnt the knowledge of London, becoming a black cab driver, which I’ve done for the past 15 years. I detest driving in London now days but can’t help feeling it’s a great way to get feedback. Anyhow always been a practical person and my computer skills are limited. I’m adaptable and very ambitious
Hey Danny,
We have many successful students in London and it’s never too late to learn something new!

Hello, looking to see if Shopify is the best platform to use for drop shipping. What your opinion?
?% it’s the easiest to use, the most secure, the easiest to customize, and they have the best support.
Anton,
do you have any smaller package deals?
Honestly, I really think your Done For You package is a great deal….
I just cannot afford it… 🙁
Hi Michael,
We do have our premium courses available outside of our Done For You package 🙂

Hi Anton, is orthopedic braces i.e neck, back, knee, wrist a good niche to get into? Would like to know your opinion
Hi Honish,
I’ve never researched these niches so I cannot give you a concrete answer… a good first step would be to make sure they meet my niche selection criteria.
Hope that helps!
is there any specific niche categories for Indian eCommerce bussiness.
Hi Rajendra,
My advice would be to use this list of niche and to do business in the U.S.
We have many students from all around the world (including India) who are doing that:

Thanks!
Hi Anton!
I am currently folling your free Drop Ship Lifestyle mini-course and am excited every day to get the next module?
I’m assuming at the conclusion of the free mini-course will be an option to become a student of yours by “purchasing” your more in depth courses. Will you offer an option to make 2-3 pymts or will the pymt be due in full only?
Hi Joy,
I’m glad to hear you’re loving the mini-course 🙂

Hi Anton
Good info, is it possible to dropship from kenya?
Hi Oula,
Yes, it is possible!
Here’s a blog post I wrote about: drop shipping outside of the US.
Hope that helps!
How to add product photos to our website?
When order is placed in our store How to transfer order to supplier?
Hi Sukhpreet,
Add photos to Shopify is extremely easy… we show you how to do this in our Shopify Video Course but this part is also very simple to figure out on your own.
Regarding sending orders to suppliers, you could do this manually (via email) but if you’re a member of the Drop Ship Lifestyle Coaching Program then you have access to the Drop Ship Lifestyle Shopify app which will automate this for you 🙂
Hope that helps!
Anton
Many thanks for sharing this article, Anton!

Thanks for sharing these great niches with me.
You’re welcome! And be sure to also get my PDF report that shares 237 drop ship friendly niches!
Anton, What do you think of Wine fridges for a good niche. Either that or Ecigs
eCigs would be a no go because it will be next to impossible to get (and keep) a merchant account in good standing.
Fridges could be good, but you’d have to do the research to confirm! I teach this in Module 2 of the Drop Ship Blueprint.
Thanks for sharing, well come to Viet Nam Anton!
pls is possible to dropship from Nigeria in Africa? Thanks in advance
Hi Nonso,
Your only problem would be getting a merchant account. However, you can use Stripe Atlas and that would work. Hope that helps!
Great information! Thanks for sharing 🙂
You’re welcome Kris! Glad to hear the niches are helpful to you!
Great niche ideas! Definitely worth analyzing and give a try.
Yeah buddy! On to the Market Research Phase 🙂
I would still like to come and apprentice with you, if you’re not overwhelmed and overstocked with prospects. I have some skills and knowledge, and I believe my biggest enemy is Fear !! Reason being is I’ve given some valiant efforts, with virtually no return. I owned my own website at one time and I currently have an ebay and amazon store. I was considering selling the MCA road service packages, so that is why I own most of the whymca domains. They want too much for the .com site. So if you’re interested, please contact me. I am a Round Rock Resident. Thanks, Chris
Hey Everyone,
As many of you already know I created Drop Ship Lifestyle after selling a network of eCommerce stores and then trying to find a community of other store owners to network with… What I found was a bunch of scammers who promised newbies they would get rich quick by following their push-button systems!
This led me to create a new community along with online training that shares how to build a REAL online business.
I’d love to hear what you think… it’s a 2.5 hour dropshipping webinar designed to help you drop ship profitably… all for free.
Be sure to click here to check it out and send me your feedback!
