Drinkware and tumblers are very popular on social media. This year, one cup, in particular, has been the subject of social media hype – The Stanley tumbler.
Although the Stanley tumbler is very popular among influencers, it’s also very expensive, so many people are looking for similar items that look and function just like the Stanley tumbler but for a lower price.

As you can see from the graph, interest in Stanley Tumblers peaked in January of this year, and has remained quite high since.
26. Wireless iPhone chargers
Many new iPhones can now be charged wirelessly, but Apple doesn’t include the wireless chargers with the phones when they are purchased. This is great news for independent sellers, as it means the demand for wireless iPhone chargers online is high.

27. Health drinks
Another popular product online right now is health drinks. Drinks like super green powder drinks and ginger wellness shots are extremely trendy and they sell for a pretty high price too.

29. Vapes
As more and more people try to give up smoking, vaping has become a popular replacement. A lot of people find it convenient to buy their vapes online, making it a good trending product for sellers.

35. Teeth whitening products
Teeth whitening has long been an online fad, but recently, influencers have been jumping on the hype to advertise the so-called miracle whitening product Hi Smile. As such this product is a bestseller on sites like Amazon and searches have also been trending upward according to Google Trends.
Hi Smile is not the only whitening product on the market though, and it is quite expensive, so it could provide sellers with an opportunity to sell cheaper products that have similar active ingredients.
36. AI prompts
One of the most talked about topics this year is AI, thanks to the popularity of the revolutionary ChatGPT. Although this sent shockwaves through the digital marketing industry, it also opened up a unique opportunity for digital product creators.

According to Google Trends, searches for AI prompts have peaked dramatically, and sellers on marketplaces like Etsy have already seen a huge influx of sales on their AI prompt digital products.
37. Pokémon cards
If you thought Pokémon had already had its heydey, think again. Pokémon has somewhat of a cult-like following, and while the trading cards have been around for a long time, Google Trends data shows that they had a huge resurgence in popularity towards the end of 2020, and demand has been through the roof ever since.
This demand is largely driven by a small but loyal base of hardcore collectors, many of whom are willing to pay big bucks to get their hands on rare cards. You could capitalize on this demand by purchasing rare cards on eBay or other channels and then flipping them for a higher price.
38. Pimple patches
Pimple patches are a relatively new kind of acne reliever that’s been growing in popularity steadily for the last few years:
Initially popularized by Korean skincare influencers, pimple patches are essentially small stickers that use a wound-healing gel called hydrocolloid. Users stick them on their zits to make them disappear overnight.
Not only are they super popular, but they’re also relatively cheap to produce, so you can get consistently high profit margins.
39. Fabric shaver
Fabric shavers are a fancy kind of electric lint roller that helps to get rid of unwanted pilling from your clothes.
At the time of writing, they’re listed amongst Amazon’s best-sellers, and Google Trends analysis shows that demand has been steadily increasing for the last 5 years (albeit with clear seasonal peaks and troughs).
Demand seems to peak every year around the holiday period and then drop off mid-year, but the overall trajectory is clearly pointing upward. These trends are common with high demand products.
40. Apple AirTags
AirTag is a hot new product from Amazon. It basically functions as a Bluetooth tracker to help you to find your car keys and other valuables when you misplace them. And as the Google Trends data shows, it’s been trending heavily since its release.
But you don’t have to sell AirTags to capitalize on the trend either. You could sell related products, like AirTag keyrings or wristbands. These sorts of accessories are super cheap to make so again, they can bring in excellent profit margins.
41. Scalp brushes
Scalp brushes are brushes you can use to work in your shampoo, massage your scalp and stimulate hair growth. Recently, they’ve become a popular self care product that is used by influencers on social media.
As you can see from the Google Trends graph, searches for scalp brushes have risen steadily over the past year or so and are currently higher than ever before. These inexpensive and easy-to-ship products would make a great starting product for an ecommerce seller.
42. Carplay devices
Apple recently released CarPlay, a product that allows you to use your iPhone functions in your car, as well as complete tasks like unlocking your car and more. However, not all cars support CarPlay, so there has been a recent surge in devices that can be plugged into older cars to support CarPlay.
CarPlay is extremely popular, and everyone seems to want to install it in their cars, so these devices are likely to be trending for a while to come. According to Google Trends, searches for CarPlay are continuing to trend upward this year.

Frequently asked questions
Want to learn more about selling trending products online? Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions on the topic.
How can I sell my products online?
There are a few different options for selling products online. You can sell products on online marketplace sites like Amazon, Etsy, and eBay.
You can also sell products from your own ecommerce store, by building an online store and an ecommerce tool like Sellfy.
Selling on marketplaces is usually easier to get started with, but you will be charged significant fees for selling and will therefore receive less profits.
You’ll also have less flexibility and autonomy when it comes to managing your online business. For these reasons, it’s usually more lucrative to sell trending products through your own ecommerce store.
What is the easiest way to sell products online?
If you want to sell products that are easy for you as a seller, then the best option is probably print-on-demand merchandise.
You can be quite hands-off with POD and focus more on managing your store and marketing than you can with other products. This is because the POD service will handle all of the physical side of the sale, including printing, shipping, and returns.
You can either start your own store using a platform like Sellfy which includes POD natively. Alternatively, you can use a platform like Gelato that will connect with third-party platforms like Amazon. So, you can sell products on Amazon with your own branding.
Another easy option is selling digital products, as once they are created, your customer can simply download them, and no physical product needs to change hands.
How do I find more trending products to sell online?
If you haven’t found what you’re looking for in this list, then you too can use Google Trends to search for items that are trending.
You can also use marketplaces like Amazon and Etsy to find best-selling products by filtering your search to bestsellers, and even narrowing down specific product categories. It’s also a good idea to keep a close eye on social media too, to see what products influencers are currently reviewing and promoting.
During your research, be sure to make notes on how other store owners are promoting these products on social media. You’ll need to create your own social media strategy later.
What are the most sold items online?
Overall, fashion items sell the most online, though the online fashion industry is quite saturated with large brands, so it’s not always the best option for smaller ecommerce ventures. Other items that sell well online are pet products, homeware, and large items that are more convenient to buy online, such as furniture.
How do I build an online store?
There are tons of different ways to build online stores, but one of the easiest and most beginner-friendly tools to use is Sellfy. Sellfy will allow you to create an ecommerce ready storefront in just a few clicks.
For an affordable monthly price, you can manage and host your online store and sell a range of products, from digital products to physical items and even print-on-demand merchandise.
