How to Find the Top-Selling Items on Amazon

The objective of an Amazon seller is to align with existing demand by learning from the platform’s most popular items to analyze what may work and perform well as you bring a product to market.

Analyzing the top-selling products on Amazon, coupled with understanding the factors contributing to their popularity, equips you to make judicious selections that yield robust sales. Note: What excels in one country may not replicate the same success in another.

For instance, a best-seller in the US marketplace might not necessarily thrive in the Japan, Germany, or UAE markets. Therefore, though the information below on the “Best Sellers” list and information inside of Black Box originates from the US marketplace, you should do your research according to where you plan to sell.

Of course, Helium 10 users can always click onXrayon our freeChrome Extensionto learn even more information about these products such as historical sales, associated FBA fees, corresponding sellers rank for the listed products, and more.

Alternatively, Amazon sellers can navigate to Helium 10’s Black Box and utilize the Products tab while inputting a high minimum monthly revenue, selecting their category of interest be it Health & Household, Personal Care, Electronics, or something else, and clicking Search.

Doing so will return similar results which you can then sort in descending order of monthly sales to find the most popular items in each category. You can sort simply by clicking on the column headers.

Conclusion

While referencing the Amazon Best Seller rankings can be an excellent tactic for conducting product research in a truly effective way, this is only one of the possible methods to understand the highly competitive landscape on the site.
