Top 5 Popular Niches in Print on Demand You Should Stay Away From

When getting into print-on-demand, picking the right niche is key. Here are the top 5  popular niches in POD that people love and are making money from. However, these niches are oversaturated and you will have to spend a lot of money on adverts ad traffic to direct potential customers to your store if you choose to enter these markets and compete against more established brands and business

1. Fitness and Wellness

The fitness and wellness niche is booming. Think gym wear, yoga mats, and water bottles with motivational quotes or cool designs. People love showing off their commitment to a healthy lifestyle, so these products are always in demand. If you enter this niche, try to pick something more obscure like creations and quotes pertaining to 70's TV Shows. For example, a mug with a Tom Selleck mustache would be distinct and unique in a market place saturated with mugs that have pictures of Justin Bieber on them. This mug will appeal to the over 50 demographic which is still quite large, except now you aren't in competition with 1M other sellers.

2. Pets and Animals

Pet lovers are crazy about their furry friends and are always looking for products that celebrate them. From T-shirts and mugs with cute pet illustrations to custom pet portraits and accessories, this niche has a devoted and enthusiastic customer base. When it comes to pet owners, there isn't anything they won't buy (within reason of course), provided it is unique and speaks to them or their pet. When catering to this crowd, you might try something like Pet Quotes i.e " I peed on the carpet but it's ok because I'm cute", printed on a door mat rather than the traditional, "I love my dog"

3. Travel and Adventure

Travelers and adventure seekers adore products that remind them of their journeys. Designs featuring maps, famous landmarks, or inspirational travel quotes are a hit. Travel mugs, journals, and apparel are popular in this niche. Globe trotters are a special breed of collectors, from mugs to keychains, photos and spoons, there is a lot of room here for a print on demand specialist. Mugs with a picture of the Eiffel Tower on them are done and done, but what about The Eiffel tower and a quote that says "Been There Done That, Bought the Mug."

4. Gaming

The gaming world is huge, and gamers love to show off their favorite games, characters, and memes. Graphic tees, posters, and phone cases with gaming themes are hot sellers. This niche is especially popular among younger crowds.

5. Motivational and Inspirational Quotes

People can't get enough of motivational and inspirational quotes that uplift and inspire them. Wall art, journals, and T-shirts with positive messages are always in demand. This niche appeals to everyone from entrepreneurs to students.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right niche is super important for your print-on-demand business. By focusing on one of these popular niches, you can tap into a passionate customer base and create products that really connect with people. Stick to what you enjoy and are good at, while keeping an eye on trends to maximize your chances of success.
