Every dropshipper wishes they could have jumped on the viral shopping trends of the last five years. If only you’d known that the Amazon sunset lamp would get so big, or that Gen Z would suddenly decide to fall in love with Crocs.

Thankfully, there are ways to predict which products will be making waves with consumers. Using search data, we’ve identified eight products that are poised to be the next big dropshipping hit in November.

Want to test out a winning, profitable product line? Read on for our insider tips, and to get set up with a dropshipping supplier before your competitors can beat you to it.

1. Immunity gummies

Winter has nearly arrived, and the next ‘viral’ product that’s to hit the shelves will likely be a cough or cold. Searches for health products tend to spike this month, and there’s a specific sub-solution that is attracting sniffly consumers already: immunity supplements.

According to data company, Exploding Topics, searches for “immunity gummies” have increased by 300% in the last five years. Recent micro-trends include mushroom gummies, postbiotics, and sea moss drops. But the big winner is set to be colostrum supplements.

Colostrum is a nutrient-rich milky fluid produced by mammals after giving birth. Proponents believe it can boost immunity and promote gut health (critics are reaching for the bucket).

Whether you believe it or not, colostrum sellers are milking the trend to great success. Exploding Topics data shows that searches for Miracle Moo, a trending startup selling colostrum supplements, have grown by 2,500% over the past 24 months.

2. Anything dehumidifying

Damp and mould are two very unwelcome guests in UK homes, but they tend to make their appearance at this time of year. As the cold weather blows in, consumers will be shopping for any products that can help tackle moisture issues and warm up the house.

As proof, dehumidifying tubs are currently the second-best selling item on Amazon in the Home & Kitchen sales category. Meanwhile car dehumidifying bags (whatever they are) sit in both number one and number two in the Automotive department.

Dehumidifiers are the definition of a seasonal trend. With their popularity guaranteed to stay around until next spring, dropshippers should jump on board while they’re still in vogue.

3. Rice water shampoo

There are few ingredients beauty addicts won’t try to achieve the perfect hairstyle. But consumers have taken the bowl cut to a new level with the latest craze; rice water shampoo.

Originating in Japan around 1,400 years ago, the product has found a new audience in the Instagram generation. It apparently promotes healthy hair growth and reduces frizz.

Available in both bottled and bar format, online searches for ‘rice water shampoo’ have already risen by an astonishing 19% in the past year, according to Startups research. The big name in the shower block is Kitsch, but plenty of dupes have already cropped up.

One market tracker estimates that the rice shampoo market is today worth $450 million, and that it will grow by 7.2% between 2024 and 2032. Why not be an early rice adopter?

4. Padel balls

The UK can now be divided into two groups: those who have heard of padel tennis, and those that haven’t. Like squash, and played on a smaller version of a tennis court, it broke into the UK at the start of this year with British GQ calling it “the cooler alternative to tennis”.

Padelmania hasn’t gone away, with Google Trends data showing that searches for the term ‘padel’ have increased threefold since October last year. Dropshippers can get involved with the smash hit by selling everything from padel balls and rackets, to grips or wrist straps.

5. Refillable vapes

Next year, disposable vapes will officially be banned. It’s a win for the planet and for our nation’s youth. Brands will now have until June 2025 to sell off their unsold stock.

It’s hoped that the move will make it easier for part-time vapers to cut down consumption and switch to a pure oxygen diet. But those who have relied on vapes to curb their smoking addiction will need to buy more planet-friendly, refillable e-liquid flavours.

Google Trends data shows that, across the whole of 2024, searches for ‘refillable vapes’ peaked at the end of October. Sellers can either choose to flog niche flavours, such as bacon, or chase the trendiest tastes such as menthol or tropical fruit.

Finding the right dropshipping supplier is doubly important here. “Homemade” or unregulated vape juices can introduce unknown and potentially harmful substances into users’ lungs. E-liquid must be TPD compliant to be sold in the UK.

6. Planners and calendars

The stationary aisle is a goldmine for dropshippers. Products tend to have good profit margins, they’re easy to customise, and they’re also in high-demand among consumers. That’s especially true in November and December, when the calendars finally have their day.

For obvious reasons, monthly planners and diaries are almost exclusively sold towards the end of the year, as consumers look towards the start of the new year with optimism (or shop for a last-minute Christmas present they can throw at their work colleagues).

Planners have already made their way into Amazon’s top ten ‘Wished For’ products this month. Dropshippers ahead of the curve should start setting up their store now for a big sales run in the weeks leading up to 2025.

7. Drawing markers

Whether it’s an early Christmas present, or a consequence of the return to school, art markers are currently booming across every shopping channel.

Our research shows that internet searches for Ohuhu markers, a popular Chinese-owned brand of marker pens, have grown by 83% in the past year. It’s no surprise that they were also the number one trending product on Amazon this month.

Arts and crafts in general have seen a huge boost in the past year thanks to the influence of independent designers and those dropshipping on TikTok. Fortune predicts the market will grow to reach $30.89 billion by 2030, making this a lucrative long-term side hustle.

8. Grout revivers

Home improvement has kicked off in a big way post-COVID, as home working made more of us open up our living rooms to Zoom calls and TikTok videos. But as the cost of living continues to bite, consumers are still searching for cheaper ways to spruce up their abode.

While far from sexy, grout revivers have emerged as the clear favourite. In Amazon’s DIY category, grout revivers (essentially a way to repaint and refresh the gaps between your kitchen, garden, or bathroom tiles) are now the number one trending product.

Startups research shows that online searches for ‘cleaning grout’ have surged by 241% in the past year, and over 12,000 people now search the term each month.
