7 trending dropshipping products to look out for in September 2025

1. Portable cold tubs

Even as summer winds down, a dip in cold water isn’t completely off the cards. 

Specifically, the practice of “cold plunge”, in which someone submerges their body in cold water for a short period of time, has become a widely popular wellness therapy.

It might sound daft at first, but this practice is actually reported to have several health benefits, such as reducing muscle pain, improving sleep, and helping to manage stress.

And shoppers are jumping into this trend with portable cold plunges — a self-contained unit specifically designed for cold water immersion therapy. The term “portable cold plunge” was reported to have a 1.3K search volume on Exploding Topics and a +99% increase in search interest, which refers to the number of searches and interactions related to the product.

Good search engine optimisation (SEO) practices can come in handy for dropshippers, particularly by incorporating keywords like “cold plunge”, “cold plunge tub”, and “cold plunge pool” into product titles, descriptions, and metadata.

2. Fruit fly traps

Fruit flies are a huge nuisance, especially in the kitchen, where they’re inevitably drawn to the smell of food or sugary liquids like soda, wine, or vinegar. 

Venus flytraps were a trending product in August, and it seems people are still looking for ways to tackle the pesky creatures. 

This time, however, fruit fly traps are the latest necessity. Through a strong-smelling bait, fruit fly traps lure the flies into a container from which they can’t escape. Once inside, they typically drown in the liquid bait or get stuck to the sticky surface.

Startups’ research found that the term “fruit fly trap” had a search volume of 18,100 on Google, and a +22% increase in search interest. Amazon and eBay yielded similar results, with a search volume of 23,900 and 12,400, respectively.

3. Monitor memo boards

A typical “back to school” goal is improving organisation. A messy desk full of notebooks, sticky notes or memos is never a good look, and as the new season looms, people are looking for ways to better organise their workspace.

This is where monitor memo boards come in handy. These small, often transparent boards are designed to attach to the side of a computer monitor, offering a convenient and visible space for notes, reminders, and to-do lists.

According to Exploding Topics, the “monitor memo board” keyword has a 2.4K search volume and an increased search interest of +99%.

This is a great opportunity for dropshippers to leverage their content marketing skills, such as creating a video tutorial on how to attach the memo board to the monitor or short-form clips showcasing creative ways to use it for productivity hacks.

4. Barrel fit jeans

As the weather starts to cool down, shoppers are already looking to update their wardrobe for the autumn season. As they swap out sandals and shorts for sweaters and warm boots, barrel fit jeans have become a seasonal must-have for the colder months.

Also known as “barrel-leg”, “horseshoe”, or “balloon” jeans, barrel fit jeans are a popular garment for their unique, curved shape that resembles a barrel. Unlike regular jeans, these jeans have a wide (and sometimes baggy) fit from the hip or thigh down to the knee. They are also tapered at the ankle, creating the “barrel” effect at the end.

Exploding Topics found that the search volume for barrel fit jeans was at 2.9K, with a surge in interest of +99%.

Social media marketing is a great way to showcase clothing products, especially on platforms like Instagram or TikTok. These platforms are built for visuals, letting you market the product through outfit inspos, hopping on trending sounds, or through influencer partnerships.

5. Vacuum seal bags

With shoppers now looking for warmer garments, it’s time to put away the summer clothes until next year. However, if you have a lot of clothing and limited wardrobe space, it’s easy for your space to become cluttered and disorganised.

That’s why vacuum storage bags are a saving grace, as they are used to compress soft items (such as clothing) by removing the air from within through a vacuum cleaner hose or a hand pump.

We found that the search volume for “vacuum seal bags” on Google was 5,400 and is trending by +22%. Similarly, Amazon had a search volume of 7,100 and an increased search interest of 23%, while eBay was reported to have a 3,700 search volume and a +22% trend.

6. Car number plates

A new season finds some consumers looking to spruce up their car with a personalised number plate.

With car number plates making the rounds on eBay’s trending deals page, drivers are seeing them as an affordable way to give their vehicle a fresh, standout look without a full upgrade.

Through our research, we found that the “car number plates” keyword had a 14,800 search volume on Google, plus an increased interest of 50%. Meanwhile, search interest was +49% on both Amazon and eBay, while search volume was 19,600 and 10,2000, respectively.

Dropshippers must be aware of the legal requirements when selling car number plates. When choosing a supplier, ensure that they are DVLA-registered. Moreover, you must ensure that the products they provide are MOT-compliant and follow the requirements for font and spacing, so that customers won’t run into fines or fail their vehicle inspections.

7. Electrolyte tablets

People are becoming increasingly health-conscious, with the UK’s health and fitness market seeing a surge in growth, with annual revenue now exceeding £5.7 billion.

This includes the use of electrolyte tablets, which are dissolvable tablets that are dropped into water to create a drink rich in essential minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, to support hydration, blood pressure, and muscle function.

Amazon had the highest search volume for electrolyte tablets, which was at 23,900. This was followed by an 18,100 search volume on Google and a 12,400 search volume on eBay. Search interest was at +50% for all three platforms.

As with any consumable health product, dropshippers must comply with the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA), plus nutrition and health claims regulations. For marketing, only approved health claims can be used. For example, you can’t say “cures dehydration”, but you can say “helps replenish electrolytes lost through sweat”.

Additionally, make sure your supplier is compliant with these standards and only sells products that are lab-tested, properly labelled, and manufactured in facilities with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification. Packaging must also clearly state the ingredients list, recommended daily dose, relevant warnings, food supplement warning (so it’s not confused with medicine), and importer/distributor contact details.
