What to Sell on Amazon FBA? Best Products for Q2 2023
The hardest part about selling on Amazon is, well, figuring out what to sell on Amazon. You may have what you think is a great idea for a product, but smart sellers rely on data, not always their gut, on which products to invest in.
This is true during Q2, when customers start shopping for products for the spring and summer months.
How do you decide what to sell? How do you know what consumers are buying during this time of year? How much inventory should you purchase?
In this article, we’ll answer all of those questions and more, so keep on reading:

What to sell on Amazon FBA in Q2 2023
As we move away from the cold winter months and into spring, what types of products will consumers now spend their money on?
While most categories on Amazon will sell well during this time of year, a few products stand out as the weather warms up and people make plans for the summer.
Let’s go over a few products we see as potential winners for Q2 in 2023.
1. Summer apparel
Consumers love buying new clothes for the spring and summer months! At least that’s what the data is telling us. Products rising in popularity during Q2 are in the women’s clothing category — more specifically, sundresses.
While this can be a competitive product category to sell in, there is undoubtedly high demand for summer fashion. If you are an experienced Amazon seller who isn’t afraid of competition (or selling clothes), this may be a fantastic opportunity.
Take a look at the 30-day and 90-day trend columns in Keyword Scout for keywords related to sundresses.
The search term “summer dresses” is up 27% in the past 30 days, and up 726% in the past 90 days!
Sundresses and other summer apparel would be excellent products for any business model you follow on Amazon. Maybe you’re a fashion designer who can create a brand new summer style using private label; or perhaps you’re simply a retail arbitrage, online arbitrage, or wholesale reseller looking for trending products to sell. Either way, there is a strong customer base looking to shop for the season.
2. Bathing suits and beach accessories
This may be another obvious one, but if you are approved to sell within the clothing category on Amazon, stocking up on both men’s and women’s swimwear can be a great way to cash in.
If you’re not approved to sell clothing or are not comfortable selling in this category, there are plenty of other subcategories related to swimwear. That includes beach accessories such as towels, tanning lotion, beach bags, vacation essentials, and beach toys—the list is quite endless.
There are plenty of arbitrage and wholesale opportunities for these categories to resell other brands of swimwear or beach accessories without creating private label brands. Though you certainly can — check out our article on How to Buy on Alibaba and Sell on Amazon.
Let’s look at the numbers.

Bathing suits for men:
Beach accessories:
Nearly every keyword in each of these lists is trending upwards, and indication that now is the time to stock up as the weather warms up and consumers head to the beach.
Check out this graph of the keyword “summer essentials.”
Scroll through the Keyword Scout results to find countless product ideas related to bathing suits or the beach.
3. Travel accessories
As consumers get ready for spring break and summer vacation, they’re going to need to stock up on the right products before heading on their next adventure.
There are many products you can offer to consumers who want to get back on the road or take flight.
I searched for “travel accessories” in Keyword Scout, and it returned more than 3,400 results. That is a lot of opportunities to sell products that people are actively searching for.
While the keyword “travel accessories” is very competitive, you can easily niche down and find less competitive subcategories within the travel category.
I see ideas such as airplane travel essentials, travel bags, travel-size toiletries, TSA-approved bags, packing cubes, and travel containers. Take the time to go through some of these keyword results to find a less competitive product opportunity you can jump on.
4. Memorial Day products
Memorial Day is a U.S. national holiday to honor those who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. On this day, citizens in the U.S. will typically have a barbeque or some kind of get-together with friends and family.
While this category is not currently trending, search volume for products related to this day will skyrocket as we get closer to May 29th, 2023. Now is a good time to prepare for this day and figure out which types of products you can offer.
Think of decorations such as flags, banners, USA-themed dinnerware, and clothing.
The search volume for Memorial Day-related keywords is currently very low, but when using Keyword Scout, we can see the search volume for the past two years. Having data from the previous year gives us a good idea of the search volume for this year.
5. Mother’s and Father’s Day Gifts
Don’t forget about mom and dad! In May and June, consumers rush to purchase a wide variety of gifts for their parents for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
Surprisingly “mothers day gifts” and “fathers day gifts” are already trending upwards. This is a good sign to optimize your current listings or research new products you can offer during these two holidays.
To get some product ideas, search for “mothers day gifts” or “fathers day gifts” on Amazon and see what types of products come up in search. Then use Jungle Scout to validate if those products would be a good idea to launch.
