One of the things I love about starting a business as a Hispanic entrepreneur is that there are many easier ways to get started, such as dropshipping, for example.
Dropshipping is an e-commerce business model where you only have to set up a website, source great products from suppliers on it, and market them. Once customers purchase products, it’s the supplier’s job to get them to the customer.
And the best part, you can handle it all with a website through Shopify, and a fast and reliable internet connection. I’d recommend Cox for its speed and reliability, and if you’re looking to get started, you can reach out to the Cox servicio al cliente en Español.
That being said, it all depends on choosing and selling the right products, and this is where I come in to help you.
In this article, I will share the top trending dropshipping products you might want to consider, in case you decide to start a dropshipping business.
Let’s ship away!
Apparel and Footwear
I reckon everybody needs clothes and shoes, don’t they? I mean, the current 1.8 trillion-dollar market makes that pretty clear. Plus, it’s only going to grow more, with projections reaching up to $2 trillion within the next 3 years.
You can branch out into different categories here, like men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, or even accessories like handbags, for example. A lot of major suppliers, such as Trendsi, My Online Fashion Store, and AliExpress, to name a few, offer clothing items at decent rates.
It would help you to add a personalized touch using customization here, especially with T-shirts. People love customized T-shirts, and with a lot of print-on-demand companies to handle this for you, tapping into this niche is no rocket science. I’ve thrown in some products you might want to consider starting with:
| Short-Sleeved T-shirts
Sweatshirts Single Piece Swimsuits Vintage T-Shirts Pajamas Tank Tops Crop Tops Yoga Pants Beanies |
Flannel Shirts
Single Piece Swimsuits Loungewear Sweatsuits Kimonos with Floral-Print Fast-Dry Running Shorts Wireless Bras Cargo Shorts Golfing Polos |
Swimming Shorts
Sundresses Leggings Clogs Loafers Sandals Water Shoes |
Beauty and Personal Care
I don’t know about you, but I can name at least 50 people I know who bring a whole army of beauty and personal care products with them anywhere they go. That might help explain why this niche is expected to be worth over 758 billion dollars by this year.
The options you can focus on here are many, but natural skin care and hair care products are particularly booming. In fact, the natural skin care product market crossed $9.3 billion back in 2023. Other than these two, you might also want to consider any of the product options below to start:
| Pimple Patches with Hydrocolloid
Face Masks with Hydrogel Makeup Removing Facial Wipes Animal Cruelty-Free Mascara Sunscreen Skin Care Oils Pencil Eyeliners Face Moisturizer Lotion |
Eye Hydrating Gels
Body wash Press-on Manicure Nail Kits Loofah sponges Travelling Bottles Supplements and Vitamins Foundation Brush Hair Curlers and Nets |
Facial Towels and Wipes
Dermaplaning Tools Hair Growth Shampoos, Oils, and Supplements Snail Mucin products Satin Bonnets Face Rollers Reusable Silicone Masks |
Baby Care Products
We’d do anything for our Niños, wouldn’t we? Why not bring the same energy for babies everywhere?
Baby care products are a rapidly growing market to become a part of. It’s worth $250 billion right now and is expected to grow to more than $419 billion in the next 7 years.
There are two very important aspects you’ll have to brand yourself with here: innovation and safety.
People want more and more innovative and easier solutions, and are also willing to spend more when they find one. Naturally, they also want a high level of safety and credibility when it comes to these products, I mean, wouldn’t we all?
There are many options to target here, and I’ve mentioned some of the most potentially rewarding options below:
| Organic Clothing
Teething Tools Hypoallergenic Baby Diaper Wipes Water-Based Baby Wipes Diapers Stroller Fans |
Touch-Free Forehead Thermometers
Sponge Bottle Brushes Chewing Toys Breast Milk Storing Bags White Noise Machinery Healing Ointments |
Booster Seats
Baby Bottles Nasal Aspirators Bottle Warmers Baby Monitor |
Pet Products
Yes, there’s also a booming market for all our furry friends.
Just last year, the pet product market saw over $150 billion in sales, and I’m betting that it might be higher this year. You might also find this niche one of the most rewarding ones since pet product customers are more likely to be one of those, rather than long-term ones.
There are many product options to focus on in the category, and when starting out, a strategy you might want to consider is product bundling. You can bundle dog treats with a collar or even pet clothing products to build your rep early on.
Below is a list of all the products you can target this niche with:
| Rope Leashes
No Leak Stool Bags Urine Pads Cat litter Rawhide Kebobs Stain Removers Pet Supplements |
Dog Treats
Odor Removers Dog Crates Dog Toys Fur Removers Harnesses Slow-Feeding Dog Bowls |
Probiotic chews
Nose Work Toys Single-Ingredient Freeze-Dried Treats Pill Wraps Dental Care Treats Hypoallergenic Wipes Water Bottles |
