So, you want to become a dropshipper, but not quite sure where to start? While dropshipping might not be the most profitable business model, you can succeed with the right mix of products and marketing.
We’ve got you covered with some of the best dropshipping products to sell.
We’ll cover some dropshipping basics with info about how to choose the products and what to look for, then give you a list of the top dropshipping products to sell.
Dropshipping is an ecommerce business model that uses third-party suppliers to provide products to customers. You don’t have to carry any kind of inventory. You choose the products you want to sell, find the suppliers that provide them, then market your website to your target audience.
It sounds pretty simple, right? If it were easy, everyone could create a dropshipping store and become rich. How successful you are with your dropshipping business depends on a few factors:
- The product niche you choose
- The customer demand
- Product quality
- Your marketing efforts
Let’s get down to the real reason you’re here – a list of products to help you start your dropshipping business. This list covers many product ideas across a variety of niches, so there’s something for everyone.
Health and Beauty Products
Health and beauty products are great for dropshipping because they require repeat purchases. Plus, because there are so many options to choose from, you can find a niche and roll with it.
The global beauty industry was worth $511 billion and the year prior $483 billion! By 2027, it’s expected to reach $784.6 billion.
Skincare Products
You can’t go wrong with skincare products because it’s easy to find an area to focus on – like sensitive skin, natural skincare, or retinol skincare products. From cleansers, toners, and moisturizers, to clay masks, sheet masks, and vitamin C serum, you can offer a variety of products for all skin types.
Vitamin C serum, for instance, has had a 290% growth in search volume over the past five years, according to Exploding Topics.
Sleep Gummies
Also known as melatonin gummies, these contain a natural hormone the body releases to promote sleep. Using these gummies within a few hours of bedtime can help regulate your sleep cycle. They can be useful when battling jet lag.
Exploding Topics shows a 1,925% growth in search volume over the past five years. They get an average of 85K monthly searches on Google, and 23K monthly searches on Amazon.
Vegan Protein Powder
Vegan protein powder uses plant-based proteins to help vegans reach their daily protein requirements. Common sources include pea, brown rice, hemp, and soy. Seed-based proteins are also available, like pumpkin, sunflower, or chia.
With 60.5K monthly searches and 38% growth over the last 5 years, it’s not one of the most popular options. But, there’s room in the market if you carve out a unique segment.
Massage Guns
Massage guns are specialized tools designed to help increase blood flow and relax tight muscles. Though they’re marketed more toward athletes as a recovery tool, anyone with joint pain and muscle tightness can benefit from them.
Globally, the massage gun market in 2027, is expected to reach $651.37 million, for a CAGR of 9.8%.
Electric Toothbrushes
Even though these have been around for many years, we’ve seen a steady increase in sales and searches over the last five years. They’re a great product for dropshipping because everyone needs a toothbrush, and electric models provide a better clean. The investment in an electric model is more cost-effective for the consumer, and they’re easy to ship.
Teeth Whitening Kits
With rising dental care costs, it’s no surprise people want to do more to improve their smile at home. Teeth whitening kits first became popular in 2015, and there is no sign of it slowing down yet. The global teeth whitening market is expected to reach $7.4 billion by 2024.
Smoothie Blenders
Smoothie blenders, also known as portable blenders, are wildly popular because it’s easy to throw in a few ingredients for a quick breakfast or snack. There are major brands on the market, but plenty of people look for more affordable options you can offer. USB rechargeable versions are also great to use on the go when you need to make a smoothie in a hotel room or car.
Beard Oil
As far back as 2013, most people didn’t even know what beard oil was. Now, it’s a crazy popular product (thanks, hipsters!). And beard oil set up a surge in beard care products. The worldwide beard oil market is projected to grow over 3% by 2027.
Yoga Mats
Yoga isn’t just for the enlightened. It’s a wonderful form of gentle exercise that offers a slew of health benefits. And as yoga practice grows more popular, so does the need for yoga mats.
There may already be a ton of places selling yoga mats, but that doesn’t mean there’s no money to be made. If you can make yours stand out from the rest of the competition, you can build a steady stream of revenue. The market for yoga mats alone (not all yoga accessories) is projected to grow 6% by 2026.
Face Rollers
Face rollers are a tool to improve skin health. They stimulate blood flow to improve circulation, help to decrease puffiness, and can more evenly distribute skin care products across the face. Face rollers are available in many stones. Jade, rose quartz, and amethyst are among the most popular options.
Lip Masks
Lip masks are a part of skincare that has grown popular in the United States because of celebrity influencers like Kim Kardashian. These help to improve lip color, exfoliate dead skin, fade lip lines, and moisturize some of the thinnest skin on your body.
Dumbbells
As more people look for ways to stay fit at home, fitness equipment like water-filled dumbbells has become more popular. The global at-home fitness equipment market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7.8%, valuing it at $11.459 billion in 2027.
Posture Correctors
Few people have naturally correct posture these days. Thanks to the increased use of technology, many people slouch and keep their necks downward to stare at a screen. As the work shifted to remote work, posture correctors soared in popularity. These are worn over your clothes to help keep your back and shoulders straight while you go about your daily activities. Even as things return to somewhat normal, we don’t see the posture corrector trend going away anytime soon.
Sleep Masks
Sleep masks are great for third shift workers who need to sleep during the day. They block out all sources of light to make it easier to sleep. Even those of us who sleep at night can use them to block out light that shines through the window, even when the blinds are closed.
Searches for sleep masks have been increasing every year. They’re an inexpensive way to improve sleep quality and make for great self-care gifts.
Fasting Tea
If you want to take advantage of the intermittent fasting trend, consider fasting tea. You can make any tea fasting tea, but typically, green teas, ginger teas, and hibiscus teas are the most common varieties marketed for use while fasting. What matters is the tea is free of creams and sweeteners.
While not specifically the “fasting tea” market, the green tea industry is expected to reach $8.1 billion globally by 2025.
Fitness Trackers
Fitness trackers are an early iteration of the smartwatch. They keep track of your steps during the day, the time you workout, calories burned, etc. Higher-end models can also track sleep, heart rate, floors climbed, and even your oxygen saturation during sleep. Many come with pre-programmed workout modes, too – so you can start and stop the watch at the beginning and end of your workout.
The global fitness tracker market was worth $34.6 billion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.9% into 2028.
Clothing and Accessories
Into fashion? Then clothing and accessories could be the right dropshipping niche for you. The U.S. apparel and footwear market was worth $1.9 trillion and is projected to hit $3 trillion by 2030. Globally, the industry has a lot of growth, specifically in Europe and the Asia-Pacific.
Athleisure Apparel
Thanks to the surge in people working from home, even as business returns to normal, comfort is a priority. Comfortable leggings, sweat pants, yoga pants, sports bras, etc. are all hot – and easy to brand yourself with a print-on-demand company.
Seamless Underwear
Seamless underwear is growing popular because they prevent obnoxious panty lines under clothing. Because of the lack of seams, most people report they are more comfortable than traditional underwear, too.
If you’re in the women’s clothing market or selling underwear then seamless underwear can make an excellent addition to your product offerings.
Mom Jeans
Better known as high-waisted jeans, these were popular in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. The “mom jeans” term came about in ‘03 when they resurfaced and popularity soared.
Many consider them more comfortable than other styles, and while their popularity is peaking, they’ll still be in demand for a while. If you’re already selling clothes, adding mom jeans to your catalog could boost your revenue.
Silk Pajamas
Silk pajamas are where comfort meets class. They’re great for hot sleepers since the fabric is flexible and breathable. Since they’re lightweight, they’re also easy to ship. Though popularity has grown over the years, it’s clear that purchases are seasonal – increasing in late September and peaking around the time the holiday shopping season ends. You can expect high returns year over year if you add them to your store at the right time.
Novelty Socks
Socks with crazy designs and colors are growing popular because they offer people the chance to show a bit of personality. They’re not plain and boring like traditional tube socks, and add a bit of flair to your outfit.
This is an area where there’s a decent amount of competition, but if you can make unique designs and partner with a print-on-demand company, you can make more money.
Boho Clothes
Boho fashion is trending because it embraces natural beauty, freedom, and comfort. It’s great for all seasons, making it an excellent niche or addition to your current clothing store.
Though according to Exploding Topics, boho clothes have peaked, they’ve still seen 37% growth in search volume over the past five years.
Temporary Tattoos
Temporary tattoos aren’t just for prizes in the quarter machines at retail stores. Today, there are several companies out there that offer tattoos that last for days or weeks. It’s great for people who want to test an idea before they will commit to a permanent tattoo.
The global temporary tattoo market is worth $757 million. It’s expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.32% until 2027. If you have unique designs and a marketing strategy that will help you stand out, you can earn a piece of the pie.
Jewelry

Home Decor
A few years ago the worldwide home decor market was worth $663.1 billion. Increasing demand for furniture and items to decorate homes will fuel growth in the industry. Textiles, in particular, are expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% through 2025. Those who are interested in entering the home decor market may be interested in knowing that eco-friendly products are the trend.
Wax Melts
Wax melts are a flameless candle alternative. They come in a variety of scents and are heated with a decorative wax warmer to release the scent throughout the room.
The wax melts market is expected to reach $6.13 billion by 2025, in part because they offer an eco-friendly alternative to emissions of open flames and aerosols.
Blankets
You can never have enough blankets. Small soft ones are great for curling up on the couch for a nap. Larger weighted ones can help improve sleep. They make great gifts, and since you can find a ton of options in terms of design, size, and material, you can find something to cater to any audience.
Orthopedic Pillows
As we’ve shown with posture correctors, more people are concerned about overall health and maintaining correct posture. Orthopedic pillows are ergonomically designed to maintain a healthy posture while sleeping. This can help mitigate and sometimes even eliminate neck, back, and shoulder pain by keeping the body in a natural position during rest.
Just the cervical (neck) pillow market is expected to grow at 4.6% CAGR by 2027.
Throw Pillows
Throw pillows are a decorative accent usually found on your sofa, love seat, and sometimes in the bedroom. They’re great for dropshipping since they are small and lightweight. Decorative pillows can often add the finishing touch to any decor style. They’re a great niche product, but you can also use them as upsells for various other home items like sheets, blankets, curtains, and more.
Blackout Curtains
These curtains are opaque pieces of fabric designed to block out all light. Like sleep masks, they’re great for those who need to sleep during the day. They’re also great for energy efficiency. Exploding Topics shows there are 246K monthly searches and a 59% growth in search volume over the last five years.
Welcome Mats
Your home’s welcome mat may seem like such a minor detail, but they offer the first impression. They’re far from innovative, or new, but trends have shown that people are searching for doormats more every year over the past decade.
Since this is a place to wipe your feet before you walk in the door, it’s more about appearance than function. If you can create unique designs with print on demand, you’ll definitely have a niche product customers will love.
Rugs
Rugs may not seem like a big purchase, but they can make all the difference in the way a room looks and feels. If you want a quick and cost-effective way to redecorate, add a rug. Research shows this niche will reach $300 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% until then.
Electric Kettles
Want to keep hot tea near you all the time, without having to go into the kitchen and boil water? An electric kettle is your solution. As we stay tethered to our desks, keeping a kettle full of warm water makes it easy to keep hot drinks near us at all times.
As you can see from the Google Trends screenshot, this is more of a seasonal item, peaking around the holidays. But, it has continued to do so for the last five years. It’s a great item to add to your kitchen gadgets dropshipping store.
Wine Refrigerators
These are a special type of temperature-controlled refrigerator, meant specifically for storing wine. They can sometimes also be used to store other beverages. Larger units have been common in restaurants for decades, but smaller versions meant for home use are a recent trend.
Air Fryers
With more of us cooking meals at home, there has been a surge in demand for kitchen appliances and tools. Air fryers are popular because they allow us to enjoy the fried foods we love without all the extra fat associated with deep frying. You can get the crispy touch on your popcorn chicken with just a few drops of oil. Exploding Topics data shows there are 1 million searches per month and a 555% increase in popularity over the last five years.
Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans are a popular part of interior design since they help keep rooms cool and improve overall energy efficiency. They’re most popular in the summer, but as climates continue to get warmer, we can expect their popularity to continue. Since installation can be a bit nerve-wracking for many, offer lots of direction and installation guides. Consider affiliating with Handy or a similar service to offer installation for your customers.
Duvet Covers
Duvets are warm, thick blankets, typically filled with wool or feathers. They’re often placed into thin covers, which make it easy to keep the blanket clean and to redecorate your bedroom on the fly.
Duvet covers are a great niche market since you can provide them with a variety of sizes, colors, and styles to suit any taste.
Bedside Lamps
Bedside lamps are essential for every bedroom. Who wants to get out of bed just to turn the lights on? Since all you have to do is plug them in and set them on your nightstand, there’s no extensive installation required, making them easy to use and easy to gift. Add a smart light bulb or a smart plug, and you can turn them on and off with your smartphone.
Foldable Picnic Tables
Foldable picnic tables are a popular item during the summer, but they can be useful any time in climates that are warm year-round. They’re lightweight and easy to take on the go, no matter where the day may take you.
Air Purifiers
Air purifiers became popular because of the increase in home improvement projects during the pandemic. If you have to spend more time inside your home, you may as well make it as pleasant as possible, right? Air purifiers can make the indoor air healthier since they remove harmful particles.
Office Products and Electronics
As more people continue to work from home even after offices reopen and we return to business as usual, office and electronics goods are still in high demand.
Bluetooth Speakers
Major brands like Beats, Bose, and JBL have made the Bluetooth speaker market popular. And even though many other brands have joined in the party, that doesn’t mean you can’t find a spot in the market, too. One study found that the portable speaker market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 29% until 2024.
Bluetooth Headphones
As Samsung and Apple have removed the traditional headphone jack from their most popular devices, Bluetooth headphones are the obvious solution. That’s fostered growth in their popularity, with customers becoming increasingly reliant on wireless products. The earbud and headphone market is expected to reach over $25 billion by 2025, and we have Bluetooth technology to thank for that.
Smartwatches
Like fitness trackers, smartwatches have become a recent trend that’s rapidly growing. Globally, wearables are expected to be worth $29 billion. With a variety of models to choose from, you can offer products to suit every budget.
USB Charging Docks
USB charging docks are highly popular, although interest has fluctuated over time, according to Google Trends. USB charging docks allow people to charge multiple USB devices with a single power outlet. As we invest in more tablets, smartphones, watches, and other electronics, these are quickly becoming a household necessity. They’re projected to become a $37.89 billion market by 2025.
Phone Cases
Phone cases are always in demand as people upgrade to the latest devices. And they’re incredibly easy to source. You can even design them yourself with a print-on-demand service. Those who are into fashion often have multiple phone cases so they can accessorize with whichever one matches their outfit on any day.
Air Purifying Plants
If you like the idea of an air purifier, but want to go with something more natural, try adding a few air-purifying plants around your home. They help reduce carbon dioxide levels in your home, while also increasing relative humidity. They also help prevent allergens.
That said, any plant is air purifying. However, the label is usually given to plants that are larger, leafier, and found in moist climates.
Overall, search volume has increased over the past few years, with searches peaking in the summer.
Pencil Cases
These are great dropshipping products for the back-to-school season. Every student needs something to hold their pens, pencils, crayons, and markers. They’re lightweight, and easy to find in a variety of styles and colors, so you’ll have something that appeals to everyone. Though these are seasonal items, the number of searches increases every year, meaning that these can be more lucrative in the future.
Bluelight Glasses
Bluelight glasses help protect the eyes from the effects of blue light, emitted by electronic devices. The blue light can disrupt our sleep cycles, especially if we’re up late at night on our laptops. The market was worth $19 million and is expected to reach $28 million by 2024.
Podcasting Microphones
Podcasting has been a wildly popular trend for a while now but surged during the pandemic as people looked to connect and entertain during the lockdown. There are a variety of options to choose from, so you can choose a specific type to market, such as USB microphones.
Mechanical Keycaps
These are decorative plastic pieces that snap to the top of mechanic keyboard keys. You can sell them individually or in sets. You can find them in a variety of colors and styles, featuring logos, movies, characters, and more.
As more people look to keyboard customization, we can expect searches for mechanic keycaps to continue to grow.
Exploding Topics shows this keyword has seen a 186% growth in search volume over the past five years – and it is trending upward.
Ring Lights
When Zoom meetings became the social norm, so did the need to look good on camera. Lighting is everything – and if your office is lacking in terms of natural light, a ring light could be the solution. According to Exploding Topics, these have 301K searches per month and have seen a 59% growth over the last five years.
Portable Green Screens
Green screen technology is nothing new, but over the years, it’s become much better quality and is easier for anyone to use.

These are available in a variety of sizes and styles. Some attach to your desk chair, while others also serve as reflectors.
Home Improvement and Tools
The home improvement market is worth more than $763 billion and is expected to grow at 4.3% into 2027. It includes a variety of products, so you can niche down into something specific and have the potential to earn a lot of revenue.

As security systems have become more affordable, it’s now possible to monitor your home while you’re away from home, thanks to wifi connections and apps.
Smart Lights
Smart lights are made with LEDs that connect to an app on your phone or tablet. They can also connect with smart assistants like Google, Alexa, and Siri to give you voice control. These lights can change color and be made to match any schedule you choose.
Smart Plugs
These are like smart lights but plug directly into your electrical outlet. Then, whatever device you plug into the outlet can be controlled by an app on your smartphone. It’s great for people who sleep with fans on but don’t want to get out of bed to turn the fan on and off. Like with lights, these can be programmed to turn on or off on a schedule. Many smart plugs also function as surge protectors.
Smart Locks
Smart locks give you a hands-free way to lock and unlock your door. You can also lock your door while you’re away from home – in case you forgot on your way out. They’re a great way to increase home security because you can monitor your lock status remotely.
The U.S. smart locks market was estimated to be worth $544.3 million and is forecast to reach $730.4 million by 2027, with a CAGR of 11.9%.
Smart Thermostats
Like smart lights, plugs, and locks, smart thermostats make it easy to control your home’s heating and cooling costs. You can control the temperature from your phone and keep things on a schedule. You can turn your thermostat up so your air conditioning isn’t running non-stop while no one is home, and schedule it to cool down so it’s bearable when you walk in the door.
Automatic Soap Dispensers
Also known as touchless soap dispensers, these have been popular in public restrooms for years. They’re a great dropshipping product because they’re light, easy to ship, and cater to the increased demand for cleanliness and preventing the spread of germs.

Socket Wrenches
All drivers should have a set of socket wrenches on hand in case they break down. They’re useful for tightening nuts and bolts when changing a tire or conducting a variety of auto maintenance tasks.
Digital Tire-Pressure Gauges
A digital tire pressure gauge is another must-have item for any driver, to ensure road safety. Traditional gauges aren’t always accurate, but the digital one helps you get a more precise reading of tire pressure.
This is a product that tends to see more interest during holiday shopping seasons, but as the trend catches on, we can expect to maintain steady search volume year-round.

Headsets
Gaming headsets are an essential item for many gamers who play multiplayer online and want to chat with their fellow players. Exploding Topics shows that gaming headsets have had a 7% growth over the last five years.
Monitors
Gaming is incredibly popular, but if you’ve got a lagging monitor, that may as well be a death sentence. Gaming monitors aren’t your average computer monitor. They’re designed to reduce lad and optimize quality. You can find them in a variety of different sizes. One thing that sets them apart is the slight curve that shows the edge elements.
Mousepads
How are gaming mouse pads different from the standard options? They’re much wider and feature a friction-resistant surface to make it easier to move the mouse in smooth, broad, strokes. They’re useful in first-person shooter games where lower mouse sensitivity is necessary for accurate aim.
A Successful Dropshipping Business Starts with Products
That can be said for any ecommerce business, but it’s especially true for dropshipping businesses. If you don’t nail the product choice, you will struggle to make sales. The key is to narrow down your audience to a specific niche. You may have a smaller pool of potential customers to work with, but those people are more likely to purchase.
You can easiliy add these products to your online store by using an app like Spocket.
