Amazon Research: Home and Kitchen Best Sellers
This research analysis will focus on a broad category on Amazon: Home & Kitchen. With over 86 million products and counting, it’s considered one of the most profitable categories for brands and sellers. We focus on the top-selling products for the period from 11/26/18 to 11/26/19, so a full year.
Brands Dominating the Best Seller Ranking
In this first part, we look at the best selling products that dominated the BSR on Amazon. To do so, we looked at the brands that had the longest presence in Best Seller Rank with at least one product that entered the top 10.
We did Amazon Product Research at DataHawk and came up with an indicator that would represent this: the Presence Rate. This indicator measures the time spent by one or more products of a brand in the top 10 of a given category. We calculate it this way:
And this is what we got for the Home & Kitchen category:
Ten brands are represented: Instant Pot, Mellanni, SafeRest, Simplehuman, Liba, Brita, Bedsure, Poo-Pourri, GreaterGoods, and Amazon Basics. Instant Pot, a brand of kitchen appliance, is leading the ranking with seven products and a Presence Rate of 78%, followed by Mellanni, a bed sheets brand with two products and 70%, and finally, SafeRest, a mattress brand, complete the podium with two products and 69% of PR. Amazon Basics ends in the top 10 with three products.
Takeaways:
– At least one InstantPot product has been present in the top 10 78% of the time.
– Liba and GreaterGoods have managed to be 59% and 22% of the time in the top 10 with ONLY one product.
– Three products in the top 10 are related to beds and sleeping comfort, and people are willing to pay to sleep better.
Instant Pot is dominating the ranking with 7 products that ranked in the top 10, followed by iRobot, the vacuum robot brand with 4 products and Ninja with 4 products also.
