Is Dropshipping Saturated?

What is meant when people ask if dropshipping has become saturated is whether there are too many businesses who are operating within the space. That can be true in some respects. But in others, this is far from the truth.

For instance, if everyone reads the same blog posts about which products are going to be the best sellers in a particular month and then everyone goes and promotes those products, the market will be saturated. But that is bad business practice. You shouldn’t look at doing everything the same as your competitors. Otherwise, you will have no distinct features for your brand. Therefore, customers won’t choose you based on your values but rather on price, and this is something that you could always lose on.

Instead, you should be looking at filling in niches that aren’t there. And there are always ways that you can edge yourself into a marketplace where there is a lot of competition. Look how Amazon is one of the biggest brands in the world. Yet they are vulnerable to other brands who are making an entrance. Wish has taken some of the market shares from them.

Another example would be Netflix who use to control online TV streaming, now there are lots of competitors (including Amazon). These examples show you that established businesses or lots of businesses don’t mean that you can’t find a place in the market.
