In this article, I will be summarizing the top sales products for each month and providing insights into why these products were game-changers. So, let's dive in and discover the hottest products of 2020!

January and February: Top Sales Champion

In the months of January and February, the top-selling product was the Champion Vintage Cuff Arrow Knotted Bracelet for women. This bracelet, with its vintage style and knotted design, quickly gained popularity. With 2,591 styles sold in January and a staggering 7,688 styles sold in February, this accessory became a must-have for fashion-conscious individuals. Made of alloy material and featuring an adjustable opening, this bracelet is suitable for all waist sizes. It can be easily paired with other accessories or worn on its own. In the first and second quarters of 2020, it had an average of 4,000 sales per month, making it a profitable choice for jewelry or general stores. However, it experienced a decline in June due to many dropshippers temporarily closing their stores for vacation.

March and April: Top Sales Champion

The months of March and April brought about an unexpected change in the top-selling product. With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for medical masks skyrocketed. The Pandemic Covey Knighting Medical Mask became the sales champion with 76,000 sales in March and 127,000 sales in April. This emergency product played a crucial role in protecting individuals from the spread of the virus. However, as the situation improved and countries stocked up on medical masks, sales started to decline. In May, sales dropped to 21,000, and then to just a few hundred in the following months. Nevertheless, with the second wave of the pandemic, medical mask sales saw a slight increase but not as significant as in March and April.

April: USB Control Music Player

In April, the Champion USB Control Music Player took the spotlight. This unique product combines a galaxy projector with a music player, creating a mesmerizing aurora stairy sky effect. With the ability to adjust light colors, speeds, brightness, and even control the music, this USB-chargeable device became a perfect gift for kids and a must-have for creating a festive atmosphere. The USB Control Music Player sold 5,768 units in April 2020. It gained popularity quickly, reaching a peak of 11,089 sales in May. Even in the off-season months, it maintained decent sales records. This product proved to be a hit, especially during the period when people were forced to stay at home due to the pandemic.

May and June: Tea Tree Acne Patch

The Tea Tree Acne Patch emerged as the top sales champion in May and June. With 16,813 units sold in May and 1,068 units sold in June, this product became a favorite among skincare enthusiasts. Acne patches are an all-year-round product that is perfect for niche stores. Priced at only 60 cents for 36 pieces, it is an affordable solution for acne-prone individuals. The anti-inflammatory patch helps diminish inflammation and prevent acne deterioration. It can be used both during the day and at night, with each patch lasting up to 12 hours. Whether you have a skincare store, niche store, or general store, this product is an excellent addition to your inventory.

July and August: Novel Stick Slim Patch

In July and August, the Novel Stick Slim Patch took the spotlight. Made with Chinese herbs, this slimming patch is applied to the belly button area to help with fat burning, increased blood circulation, and toxin removal. It is available in different combinations and starts from 10 pieces. The Slim Patch saw sales of around 6,000 in July and 5,000 in August, with an average of 6,000 sales from June to August. While slimming products tend to have a strong seasonal factor, these months proved to be the golden season for this particular product. The demand dwindled in the remaining months, with sales records around 1,000 units.

September: Standard Dock Shaver

The Standard Dock Shaver became the top-selling product in September. This shaver comes with one shaving head, four different cutting heads, and a USB charger. It offers five grades of micro-adjustment, making it suitable for all kinds of hair types. With 2,797 units sold in September and 2,946 units sold in August, this newly launched product surpassed expectations for the off-season. Even though the summer is usually considered off-season for dropshipping, the Standard Dock Shaver performed remarkably well. With its low-noise design and long-lasting power, it became a popular choice for personal grooming.

October and November: Christmas Tree

As the holiday season approached, the Christmas Tree climbed its way to become the top-selling product in October and November. While real Christmas trees can be expensive and occupy a lot of space, this compact Christmas Tree decoration provided the perfect solution. Made of non-woven material and adorned with festive decorations and lights, it brings the intense Christmas atmosphere to any home. Although this product was newly launched in September, it quickly gained popularity with 6,000 sales in October and 8,000 sales in November. For dropshippers selling in America and Europe, this product is a must-have for the upcoming holiday season.

January - June: Hemorrhoid Cream

Surprisingly, one evergreen product that stood out throughout the year was Hemorrhoid Cream. Although it may seem like a niche product, it had 5,900 sales in January, 4,200 sales in May, and 5,900 sales in June. It remained consistent with a few hundred sales in the other months. This cream, made of Chinese herbs, helps with anti-inflammatory and pain relief for hemorrhoids. It is an all-year-round product suitable for niche stores or house product stores. However, it is essential to clarify local regulations before selling as different countries may have different rules for selling hemorrhoid creams.

Trending Product: Portable Fitness

Last but not least, another product that made waves this year was portable fitness equipment. With the pandemic situation keeping people indoors, the fitness niche gained traction. These products provided individuals with the means to exercise from the comfort of their homes. However, it is important to note that the quality of some portable fitness products was not up to par. In March, when fitness was trending, one particular product had 6,195 sales, but the subsequent months saw decreasing sales. The quality issue affected the reputation of this product, so it is advisable to remove low-quality fitness products from your store and consider alternative options that have better quality and potential for long-term success.
