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.
1
Pedicure 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!
2
Manicure 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.
3
Ice 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.
4
Sensory 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.
5
Optics & 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.
6
Steam 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.
7
Murphy 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)
8
Lecterns & 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.
9
Steam 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.
10
Carports: 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:
1
Nursery 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.
2
Camping 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.
3
Automotive 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.
4
Power 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!
5
Alternative 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.
6
Hydroponics: 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.
7
Pizza 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!
8
Bounce 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.
9
Telescopes: 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.
10
Adjustable 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:

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.
