Organized into three categories—Keyword‑Driven, Product‑Driven, and Category‑Driven—these models come with suggested filters for reference. Please adjust the exact thresholds to fit your own situation.
1. Keyword‑Driven Big‑Data Sourcing
Every Amazon search reveals real buyer demand. Keyword‑Driven sourcing uses those searches to uncover emerging niches and then find products to meet that demand.
1. Trend‑Based Sourcing
Focus less on saturated head‑keywords and more on surging trends. Weekly rank movements capture real‑time shifts in interest.
Filter: In any category, select keywords whose rank improvement over the past 4 weeks > 10,000 and rank growth rate > 10%.
2. Demand‑Based Sourcing
Keywords ranking in the Top 10,000 represent the highest‑demand niches. These have large traffic but stiff competition—best for well‑capitalized sellers.
Filter: In a category, limit max keyword rank to 10,000; results sort ascending by rank.
3. Potential‑Based Sourcing
Keywords with solid ranks that are growing—but not yet head keywords—indicate mid‑tier niches with room for newcomers.
Filter: Rank between 20,000–100,000 and 1‑week rank growth > 20%.
4. Surge‑Based Sourcing
Keywords whose rank jumps sharply signal urgent, often seasonal or nascent opportunities. Use Trends or Google Trends to confirm.
Filter: In a category, 1‑week rank growth > 50%.
5. Capacity‑Based Sourcing
Search volume reflects market demand size. Big sellers prefer markets with monthly searches >100,000. Smaller sellers may start with lower-volume markets.
Deep-dive into a familiar niche to build brand and product line—e.g. phone stands → phone stands with storage, floor stands, etc.
Filter: In 'Related Products', enter an ASIN and click 'CSI' (Compare with similar items).
14. Bundle Opportunities
Expand into complementary items (e.g., yoga mats → yoga blocks) using frequently bought together data.
Filter: In 'Related Products', enter an ASIN and click 'FBT' (frequently bought together).
3. Category‑Driven Big‑Data Sourcing
Each Amazon category is its own micro‑market. By comparing multiple markets’ metrics, find the niche that best matches your strengths.
1. Market Monopoly-Based Selection
Analyze product/brand/seller concentration to find distributed markets with lower entry barriers.
Filter: In 'Market Research', set max Product/Brand/Seller concentration to 80%, or sort ascending.
2. Market Volatility-Based Selection
A higher market volatility means faster product updates and more chances for new products to enter. But it can also mean the market is unstable—products may not last long if they don’t perform well. Categories like fashion often have lots of new listings, but short product lifecycles. By checking the number of new products in a subcategory, sellers can gauge how competitive or risky that market is.
Filter: In 'Market Research', sort by new product count (descending) to spot high-opportunity markets.
