The Bestselling Amazon Products of 2019

For those trying to up their online selling game, Amazon is a great place to begin with. You can employ multichannel listing tools, use a multichannel selling software, and make use of order management tools and real-time inventory sync tools to create your seller account on Amazon in addition to other multichannel ecommerce platforms and increase the reach of your brand and products.

Possessing the knowledge of which products are the bestselling ones on Amazon is important for every seller, for it helps you gain an idea of the market and your target audience and the way you’re supposed to structure your business so as to drive the maximum traffic to it. It can seem like a pretty tricky task to discover the trending products on Amazon, and therefore it’s necessary to conduct your research well. Unlike other online selling platforms, Amazon exactly knows the power of ecommerce and therefore offers the sellers a fantastic resource, which is an hourly updated list of the bestsellers on Amazon.

If you wish to know the top-selling categories and products on Amazon for the year of 2019, read on to see the list below.

1. Toys and Games

The three bestselling items in this category are:

• Surprise Confetti Pop Collectible Dolls
• Kids Car and Toy Carpet
• Anti-Chafe Balm

Although the Anti-Chafe Balm isn’t technically a toy, it’s listed so on Amazon. This is a great example of how products belonging to the medical field will always be popular as customers tend to purchase a lot of products related to their health and wellbeing.

Toys and games will always be a trending category as buyers love to shop from this bit for their own children or even kids they know. Therefore, the online sellers who sell toys should always keep their eyes open for the latest fads and trends.

2. Electronics

The bestselling electronics on Amazon as of now in 2019 are:

• Alexa TV Remote
• Alexa Echo Dot Smart Speaker
• Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Film

Electronics have always been and will remain to be one of the most viewed and loved categories. However, there’s a catch to this as well, which is that the favourites in it are always changing. Whereas one minute it’s Alexa, the next minute it’s the Apple Watch. A thing to spot from this is that goods belonging to AI or Artificial Intelligence usually sell out the most.

3. Camera and Photo

The two most brought products under ‘Camera and Photo’ are:

• Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Film
• Fujifilm Instax Camera

The Fulifilm INSTAX holds not just a spot in the Electronics category, but also all the three spots in the Camera and Photo category. It’s the only product from the list that takes up four spots, including itself and its complementary add-ons. Needless to say, this well-selling item is extremely loved.

One of the main reasons these have gone on to become bestsellers is due to the insane selfie culture that has been taking the world by storm. Looking at this trend, we can almost predict that items such as selfie drones might just feature as the trending ones on Amazon in the future.

4. Video Games

Two of the most popular video games on Amazon have been:

• $10 and $20 Playstation Store Gift Card
• Donkey Kong Nintendo Switch Game

Games such as Donkey Kong for Nintendo or the retro ones like Mario Brothers will always be popular among kids and adults alike. The interesting thing to notice here is that a gift card made it to the list. This proves the ever-growing millennial trend to gift people something that they can utilise to purchase an item of their liking. This is probably why gift cards in general have been getting more and more popular. Customisation and personal taste really have been affecting and influencing the world of ecommerce now more than ever.

5. Books

Here are the three bestselling books of 2019 and reasons as to why they’ve been trending:

• ‘Magnolia Table: A Collection of Recipes for Gathering’: A book about cooking as well as brining your loved ones together? That’s surely a win-win situation. With social media taking over our lives and alienating people in general, this book helps those who want to cook for their families and dear ones.
• ‘A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership’: Amazon started as a book-selling platform back in 1994 and to this date books about political affairs and intrigue tend to dominate the charts, and this is no different. Written by former director of the FBI, James Comey, this book sheds light on the Trump-Russia affair, the Hillary Clinton email investigation, and several other current events and scandals.
• ‘I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer’: Mystery and thrillers have always been hot selling genres in the book world. Add in a true crime story, and you’ve got a gem. Based on the true events of a serial rapist and murderer in California in the 70s and 80s, this book has been selling like hot cakes. Safe to say that violence and crime will always be gripping topics no matter what the era is.

6. Clothing, Shoes, and Jewellery

The bestselling items from these popular categories are as follows:

• ODODOS High Waist Yoga Pants
• Native Jefferson Slip-On Sneakers
• I Play Baby Boy’s Flap Sun Protection Swim Hat

Yoga has overtaken as one of the most popular forms of exercise, hence, it’s natural people want to buy items such as yoga mats, goji berries, and the like. As far as shoes are concerned, stylish and comfortable models such as ‘Crocs’ and now ‘Native Jeffersons’ are never going away. The bright colors, comfort, and perceived stylishness associated with these pairs are universally loved features.
