For most entrepreneurs going Tuke, product selection and category positioning are regarded as the “life-or-death line.” Choosing the right track allows you to break through even with limited operational resources; choosing the wrong direction makes it difficult to reverse sluggish sales, no matter how refined your operations are.
Currently,the global consumer market is iterating rapidly, with significant differences in demand preferences across countries. The best-selling trends on mainstream platforms such as Amazon and Tuke are alsoconstantly changing, leaving many Tuke entrepreneurs confused about “what to choose and where to sell.”
In fact, quality product selection is not about blindly following trends, but about precise judgment based on market demand, regional characteristics, and platform trends. By combining the latest industry data and practical logic, you can find your own gold-mining direction.

Precisely Targeting the Market: Best-Selling Categories and Data Insights in Mainstream Countries
The core premise of product selection is to lock in the target market. The consumption habits, policy environment, and economic level of different countries directly determine the development of categories.
Based on the latest data from Amazon and Tuke Shop, mature markets such as the US and Europe and emerging markets like Southeast Asia show differentiated best-selling trends, and each has clear high-potential categories for layout.
US Market
As the world’s largest cross-border consumer market, the US is seeing strong demand for healthy living and smart convenience products, which have become the core drivers of market growth.
In the healthy living sector,AI smart sleep products have shown particularly rapid growth in recent years. Categories such as temperature-controlled mattresses and sleep monitoring devices precisely target the insomnia pain points of high-pressure professionals, quickly becoming dark horses in growth.
On the US iOS health chart, a sleep product called Hatch Sleep has consistently ranked in the Top 15 for revenue,with monthly global revenue staying steadily between1 million and 3 million USD over the past year;while the Huckleberry app, ranked Top 2 in the medical chart for revenue, has also maintained monthly global revenue at the million-dollar level thanks to its core sleep monitoring function.

Smart convenience products are also favored by US consumers, with electric cat litter boxes, hot air brushes, fitness equipment, and other products making strong appearances on best-seller lists.
Petlibro’s automatic feeder with a camera topped Amazon’s BS list last year, with monthly sales exceeding 9,000 units and a total of 9,900 user reviews;DIY hair tool brand wavytalkalso performed impressively, withsales onTuke US Shopreaching$98,172,300in the past six months, making it a must-have item for young people seeking beauty.

It’s worth noting that the $40-100 price range is the golden profit zone in the US market. This price point ensures sufficient brand gross margin while effectively lowering the consumer decision threshold. Products such as the $59.99 smart pet feeder and the $89.99 home projector have all performed well in the market.
European Market
As a core consumer market in Europe, the UK’s main trends focus on sustainability and health, with consumers willing to pay a premium for eco-friendly concepts. Demand for sustainable bath products such as organic formula shower gels and plant fiber bath brushes has surged, and degradable packaging has become standard in this category.
For example, UK local brand Faith in Nature is favored for its natural vegan formula and eco-friendly packaging;Molton Brown further consolidated its market position by using 50% recycled PET packaging and partnering with zero-waste brand Loop.

In addition, autumn and winter clothing and electronics have become new growth drivers in the UK market. Topshop’s high-waisted jeans and Superdry’s short down jackets met surging demand during global Black Friday, while electronic products such as Android tablets also saw rising sales.

Southeast Asia Market
Emerging markets in Southeast Asia are unleashing consumer potential thanks to demographic dividends, with beauty, digital, and food products performing strongly,becoming the main drivers of market growth.
In the Indonesian market,Glad2Glow’scleansing water topped the charts with an estimatedGMV of $1-1.3 million, followed closely by digital products such as POCO tablets and food items such as Royal Coffee, jointly leading the local best-seller lists.

Competition in the Thai market is equally fierce,NISA ginseng creamled the pack with an impressiveGMV of $52.4-64.1 million, while health categories such as Rich Secret nutritional supplements and fashion items like hair clips and cosmetics also performed well, occupying the top spots on the charts.
It’s worth noting that the Southeast Asian market has relatively diverse consumer tiers, and high cost-performance products are more likely to break through, making them a quality choice for new sellers to test the waters.
Core Logic of Product Selection: From Trend to Implementation
Popular categories are just for reference; true product selection ability lies in mastering a replicable judgment logic.
Demand-first is the underlying principle of product selection—avoid being a market creator. Real blockbusters must precisely solve the real pain points of consumers, rather than simply pursuing novel concepts.
For example, a seller found that noise from pet feeders was a frequent negative review point, and quickly entered the top 10 in the subcategory after developing a silent version; while another seller blindly launched a smart flowerpot watering robot, which failed due to complex operation and lack of real demand.

The key to validating demand is whether users are willing to pay to solve the problem. You can mine demand trends through Amazon’s best-seller lists and Tuke’s hot-selling charts, then use keyword tools to check search volume. Categories with core keywords searched more than 10,000 times per month have sufficient market foundation.
Secondly,building differentiated advantages is key to long-term competitiveness. In the highly homogeneous cross-border market, products with a single outstanding advantage have a survival rate three times higher than “all-round” products.
Differentiation can be approached in three ways: cost leadership—leveraging supply chain advantages to reduce costs and enhance pricing competitiveness; functional innovation—upgrading products to meet unmet user needs, such as portable tableware with UV sterilization to solve hygiene pain points; and focusing on niche groups—avoiding the mass market, such as large-font voice remote controls designed for seniors, precisely matching the needs of the silver-haired demographic.
Conclusion
There is no absolute formula for blockbuster products when going Tuke, but there is a clear logic for success. The core is to use data to precisely match target market demand, leverage your own supply chain advantages to create differentiated products, and then use platform features to achieve traffic conversion.
With global consumption upgrading and technological iteration, trending categories such as health, intelligence, and environmental protection will continue to release dividends. Tuke entrepreneurs only need to dig deep into user pain points and control regional differences to find their own gold-mining track in the global market.
