- What e-commerce business can you start in 2019?
- What can I sell online and succeed?
- How can I compete with bigger, established brands?
- Is there anything else left to sell?
These are questions many dreamers are asking themselves because they assume everybody has already done everything. I get this question often. I have had this question myself. With so many businesses popping up here and there, it may seem impossible to find a market that isn't oversaturated.
E-commerce isn't just about selling fashion and has tremendously evolved in recent years. With the rise of the e-commerce dropshipping business, you can eliminate shipping products and housing inventory, which helps out those with a smaller budget and to test the market with low risk. According to Statista,
In 2019, 63 percent of global internet users are expected to purchase products online. Digital buyer penetration is expected to surpass 65 percent of internet users worldwide in 2021 (meaning the e-commerce industry is set to evolve and expand) In 2016, the number of digital buyers worldwide reached 1.5 billion. A year later, the number rose to 1.66 million and forecasters expect over 2 billion online shoppers in 2020.
At the end of the day, it's all about marketing.
We dug deep to kill that voice in your head by finding a few niche products that are on the rise but still have a minimal online presence. Sometimes when you see something is bubbling, you have to jump on early so your business is established pre-saturation. That way, once everybody gets on trend, you will be the established business you were once intimidated by.
Please note, a saturated market does not mean you cannot compete and be the best brand I know you can be. Take something that's already been done and make it better, creating your own niche. However, around here, we like to think smarter-not harder so why not start where there is little, to no competition. Think outside of the box.
Below are our top products to sell in 2019 with a few stats to back it up.
- Subscription Boxes
- Eyeshadow Stamp/Eyebrow Stamp
- Inflatable Pet Collar
- Wireless Phone Chargers
- Phone Lenses
- Wifi Repeater
Subscription Boxes
In the past 5 years, the rise of subscription boxes has risen over 100 percent. With the recent expansion of this market, your best shot is to find a niche within a niche. For example, narrow products down to who you're targeting such as kids, single parents, moms-to-be, recently divorced, wedding, etc.

Inflatable Pet Collar
Similar to neck pillows, cats and dogs can now enjoy their very own version called inflatable pet collars. They serve the same purpose as the cushioned neck pillows (protection from injuries to face or neck) we wear around our necks on airplanes or put on infants for car rides. This is a pet store necessity. The real question is, do we call our neck pillows "human collars" now?
