5 eCommerce Opportunities You Need To Explore In 2021

Listen in! Pick up some expert advice to a reader's question that we selected from CyberSchmooz.

The world of eCommerce is often a fickle place, with popular trends changing at an alarming pace. If you want to succeed in this industry, you need to stay up to date with what people love most. Alternatively, you can sell staple products that pretty much everyone wants and needs.

In this guide, we will be taking you through some of the most popular products on the market that are guaranteed to start making you some money,

Phone Accessories

One thing that isn't going out of style anytime soon is smartphones. Almost everyone has one. What do people want after a smartphone? Accessories.

From Casely iPhone cases to wireless chargers, phone accessories have been a hugely popular item for the past few years, and that shows no signs of slowing down. Phones need protection, so chip into this market.

Home Decor

The home is where the heart is. It reflects the owner, and thus decor is essential, which means it’s something people will always want to buy.

From new furniture to novelty items, homeowners constantly change their minds on how they want their space to look. As home decor encompasses such a wide range of trends, starting an eCommerce store in this niche will set you off on a good foot.

Household Storage

The same crowd that wants to redecorate their home every couple of years may also find that they aren't using their space effectively. From simple plastic boxes to vacuum-packed clothing storage, people are looking for new ways to organize their lives. You could be the one to solve that problem for them.

Creating a niche in this market is relatively simple. Consider what material and type of product you want to champion. Bags? Boxes? Food containers? By focusing on one area, you can carve out a lovely corner of the market for yourself. You could also look to interior design trends for further inspiration, as this could tell you which materials are popular right now.

Car Accessories

This might seem a little out of left-field, but car accessories have to be big business. What makes this even stranger is that car upholstery has seen a significant increase in profit. You don't need to go into the upholstery business to benefit from this. All that matters is that the new focus is cars, and customers are interested.

Cars, much like homes and phones, are like an extension of the person. They want it to have a few personal touches. Individuals wish to customize what they have.

Fun tip: If you want to tie two niches together, flexible phone-holders could be a great way to make some profit.

Bookcases and Shelving

Last on our list of trends, bookcases, and shelving have seen a recent boom in popularity. This can probably be explained in the same way as storage containers: people are looking for ways to improve their space management.

This can also tie in with the interior design too. The sale of shelving through Amazon, Shopify, or similar outlets could be an excellent way to turn a profit in the coming years.

Don't Miss Out!

Any one of these products could be the break you have been waiting for with your eCommerce brand.

Sticking to trends is great but tricky to keep on top of. If you are looking for an easy in are far more likely to get an audience selling some of these staple products.

Whatever you choose for your eCommerce site, remember it won’t be a success overnight but you can absolutely give yourself an advantage from the get-go with products that will sell.
