Niche

What is niche?

An e-commerce niche is a segment of a market that sells a specific type of product with a unique differentiator. 

A niche product is a product targeting a specific section of a larger market. 

Examples of niche products:

• Customizable products
• Specialty foods (for example, coffee of the highest quality)
• Clothes in sizes rarely presented in mass-market stores 
• Eco-friendly products

Benefits of selling niche products:

• Fewer competitors and more chances to become the industry expert
• It’s easier to sell the product that a specific audience is looking for rather than try to serve a mass audience.
