What's up everybody, Anton Curley here from Drop Ship
Lifestyle and in this video, I'mgoing to be sharing the top 10
niches for high ticket drop shipping in 2025, all researched
by myself. And before we get into this and
I take you through the list and what actually makes them good, I
just want to let you know that I've been making these lists
(00:21):
since 2015. So this is actually the 11th
year in a row that I have produced one of these top 10
niches list. And if you want to go back and
see all of them 110 now with every single niche, what makes
it good and why? I'm going to post a link in the
description that'll take you to a blog post that details
everything totally for free. Again, at this point. 110
(00:43):
niches. Now I also want to say I know
over the years, a lot of people have done very well with these
niches. So if you've been following
along and looking for a niche for your next door, you're in
luck. Or if this is your first time
here at Drop Ship Lifestyle and you're trying to find something
that has the chance to actually work in 2025, you are in the
right place. And again, every niche I'm about
(01:06):
to take you through is somethingI would personally build a store
in myself. With that being said, let's talk
about what we are focusing on in2025 and that is Made in the USA
niches. So why are we focusing on Made
in the USA niches? Well, if you had a chance to
watch my video from last week where I covered how Donald
Trump's second term will affect e-commerce, then you're already
(01:28):
aware. If you haven't and you want more
information on that, I'll link to it below.
But a quick 62nd summary of it is that Donald Trump is
proposing a 60% tariff on products that have a country of
origin of China. So even if you already are
running a drop shipping store ore-commerce in general, and
you're selling products in the USA where the country of origin
(01:50):
is China, there will now be up to a 60% tariff on them, which
would then mean that you would have to pay that if you're
directly importing or your supplier will have to pay that
if they're importing from China.And of course, that fee will get
passed along to you in the sensethat your wholesale price will
go up, meaning you'll have to increase the price you sell to
customers for. Meaning most likely, at least
(02:10):
for a while, you will see lower sales if all of your products in
your niche are originated in China.
Now, I shared a screenshot, if you're watching the video of
this, of a post that actually just came out today in Reuters.
And they interviewed some top economists who think that the
60% tariff won't be a day one thing, but they actually think
(02:31):
it'll be closer to 40% and then possibly go up to 60 over time.
Now, of course, that's a 20% difference, but a 40% tariff is
still big dollars and it still can affect the sales of the
products that are already on your store or that you're
thinking of adding to a new store if you sell products that
originate in China. So I think it should be obvious
by now. But if it's not, the reason we
(02:53):
are focusing on Made in the USA products is because they do not
have tariffs, meaning the pricesare not going to increase,
meaning your customers are not going to get sticker shock when
they're looking at something that they saw a week ago and
then see if we're 40% more. Prices can stay consistent,
meaning sales can stay consistent, meaning we continue
to profit. Now, again, if this worries you
(03:15):
at all, I really would recommendyou go back and watch the last
episode I did linked below to provide more context.
But in short, we're not stoppingselling products that do
originate in China. We're still going to list them.
We're still going to sell them, but we are trying to add more
and more brands to our stores where the products are made in
the USA. So what I did in preparation for
(03:35):
this, again, 11th edition of thetop ten products for the year
was go out there, do my own research.
And specifically for this year, I looked for products that have
a higher than normal amount of brands that manufacture the
products in the USA. What that means is if you choose
any of these, you'll be able to find suppliers that have
products that originate around the world.
(03:57):
But all of these top 10 niches have a large concentration of
brands that manufacture them in the USA.
Again, that means no tariffs. That means no sticker shock to
consumers in a few months from now.
That means more profit for you and a healthier store.
So without further ado, let's get in to this year's top ten
list, starting with number one, musical instruments.
(04:20):
So this can be things like grandpianos, this can be things like
drum sets, violins, brash instruments.
It doesn't really matter. All of these niches that I
researched individually have a higher amount than average
suppliers that make them in the USA.
Now, one thing I want to point out, because you're going to
notice this in this niche, and really quite a few as we go
through these top 10, is that asyou might know, we build niche
(04:44):
specific stores. So if possible, I would want to
niche down enough where maybe I only built a grand piano store,
assuming that can meet all the criteria that we look for.
But I wanted to put it a little bit broader here just so there's
more meat on the bone for you and for all the viewers.
So maybe somebody that's watching this picks grand
pianos, maybe somebody that's watching this picks drum sets,
(05:04):
maybe somebody picks violins, maybe somebody picks brass
instruments, etcetera, etcetera,etcetera.
And by the way, if you do want more information on why we niche
down and why that's so important, type a comment below
this episode and just write niche down.
Do that now. And if I see enough demands and
enough of those comments next week, I'll do an episode all
(05:25):
about niching down, why it's important and how to do it.
So comment niche down below. OK, with that being said, let's
get into the second niche for this year.
And this is sculptures. These can be indoor, these can
be outdoor, it doesn't matter. I researched both work, but
these are items where there are a ton of artists and small shops
(05:46):
in the USA that manufacture these products.
Again, made in the USA means no tariff, so there are tons of
these. I found dozens and dozens of
them where the price point is exactly where we want it to be.
So I think sculptures is a greatniche for 2025 and beyond
because going back even to 2015 when I made our first list of
(06:08):
niches, I should mention this year, I don't give you these
because I think they're going tobe good for one year.
I think they are timely and relevant, but I also think
they're Evergreen. So just because this is a top 10
niche for 2025 doesn't mean in 2026 it's not going to work.
This is a niche that should workgreat in 2025, in 2035, in 2055,
and as long as you want to own your store, pass it down to a
(06:30):
family member, or even possibly sell it.
OK, with that being said, let's get into the next niche on this
year's list which is industrial machinery.
And this is another one that is quite broad so I would encourage
you to niche down. But 2 examples I gave you here
are laser cutters and embroiderymachines.
Tons of brands manufacture thesein the USA.
(06:51):
No tariffs, more profits for you.
No sticker shock to consumers when tariffs come into play.
Next niche on the list is motorcycle parts and
accessories. Tons of this customization
space, right? Whether it's automotive or
motorcycles. These products are made in
again, small shops in the USA with brands you can sell for.
(07:12):
So this can be things like upgraded or replacement shocks.
This can be things like upgradedor replacement fenders with
something like this. I will say if you're going to
get into a niche like this, I would recommend you have some
experience in that niche. Typically what we do is selling
niches where we really aren't connected to them at all.
But this is one I kind of hesitated to put it on the list
(07:33):
because customers probably will have some more technical
questions. O If you do choose this one, I
would recommend having at least some knowledge of motorcycles,
how they work, what the arts are, what people would need for
different types of bikes. OK, getting in to the next niche
on this list, this one is livingroom furniture.
Again, quite broad, but a niche where if you were to, for
(07:54):
example, go to the High Point furniture market in High Point,
NC, you're going to find hundreds of made in the USA
suppliers. And Speaking of niching down
here, you'll see when I say living room furniture, that can
include things like sofas and chairs and end tables and rugs
and coffee tables. The reason I didn't break this
down into those individual niches, one is because you can
(08:16):
do that yourself if you want to again, comment niche down below
if you want more info on that, but also because a lot of these
suppliers will sell items that complement each other.
So maybe you're selling this living room sofa and that
supplier also has a chair that people might want to add to the
set or a rug that they might want to add on as they're
checking out on your store. That's why I can bind these all
(08:38):
into one niche again, being living room furniture.
Also, before we get into the next niche on this year's list,
I do want to mention that these are in no particular order.
I'm not ranking them like this is number one, this is the best,
and this is number 10. This is the worst.
No, again, these are all good and these are all niches that I
would personally build stores inmyself.
(08:58):
OK, with that being said, let's move on to the next niche for
2025 and this is cookware sets, something else where I found
tons of made in the USA suppliers, whether it be cast
iron, whether it be stainless steel, there are many brands
that make these in the US. And when you sell them as sets,
the price point is exactly wherewe want it to be.
(09:18):
It appeals to the upper middle class.
It is something that doesn't require a lot of pre sale and
post sale support and it is definitely something I would do
myself in 2025. Now moving on to the next niche
for this year, we have Watercrafts.
Now I'm not talking about boats and I'm not talking about jet
skis, but I'm talking about things like fishing kayaks and
(09:38):
stand up paddle boards. Again, plenty of brands made in
the USA that you can either add to an existing store you already
have or start your watercraft store today after you watch this
video, go create a Shopify account, get to work and you
could just search for made in the USA watercraft brands.
You will find a ton of them thatyou can reach out to to become
(09:58):
an authorized retailer of that you can sell again throughout
2025 and beyond. OK, going into the next niche
for this year's list, we have horse saddles.
Again, this type of craftsmanship, this type of
artistry. I gave you the sculptures
example before, but this holds true with horse saddles as well.
There are a ton of great artistsand Craftsman in the US that
(10:21):
manufacture these things here that sell for very high price
points, that sell to people thatare obsessed with these things
that can make us a lot of money.That is why Horse Saddles
definitely is on this year's list of the top 10 high ticket
drop shipping niches for 2025. OK, moving on to the next one.
This is a new one to me. But tactical and outdoor gear,
(10:43):
these are things that are sometimes purchased by security,
sometimes even purchased by police, sometimes purchased by
people that have a interesting hobby.
But the price point is great andthese products sell well.
And again, most of these products are probably made in
the USA. So I know we went fast this
year. Guys, that was 9 already.
Let's go ahead and get into #10 for this year, which is BBQ
(11:06):
grills. Again, doing my research, doing
my due diligence, I found over adozen made in the USA brands
that produced BBQ grills. That the prices are not going to
change in a few months. The customers that are going to
have you healthy margins, of course, that are going to ship
fast to your customers. Something else I would
definitely do myself now guys, if you got value from this
(11:28):
year's top 10, do me a favor letme know below this video by
commenting value. If you have any questions, let
me know as well by posting a comment below and if you want
