7 High-Ticket Niches with Low Competition (2025)

When people think about starting a high-ticket dropshipping store, the first fear that pops up is competition. “Isn’t every good niche already taken?” The truth is, no. In fact, new opportunities open up every year as consumer behavior changes and new products hit the market.

If you want to avoid oversaturated markets and build a profitable store, you need to find high-ticket niches with low competition. In this post, I’ll share 7 of my favorite niche ideas for 2025 that are still wide open for new stores.

Why Look for Low-Competition Niches?

Choosing a niche with less competition gives you a better chance to rank on Google, get approved by suppliers, and actually stand out to customers.

Think about it, if you’re trying to sell treadmills, and there are a few big brands that everyone buys, being sold on eCommerce giants like Amazon and Dick’s Sporting Goods, you're going to have a bad time.

But if you focus on something more specialized, like commercial rowing machines, you can carve out a space for yourself without fighting the big box stores head-on.

1. Cold Plunge Tubs

Cold therapy is booming thanks to health influencers and recovery-focused athletes. While at-home saunas have been gaining traction for years, cold plunge tubs are still relatively new to eCommerce. High price points (often $1,500+) make them a strong high-ticket niche with space to grow.

2. Commercial Rowing Machines

Rowing is the new “it” workout in 2025. While cheap, plastic rowers flood Amazon, commercial-quality machines in the $1,000–$3,000 range are underserved online. Fitness studios and serious home gym owners are searching for better options.

3. Outdoor Pizza Ovens

Sure, the portable tabletop versions are everywhere. But premium, built-in outdoor pizza ovens, think $2,000 and up, are still a blue ocean. As more people invest in backyard kitchens, this is a niche ready to explode.

4. Vertical Hydroponic Systems

The home gardening market keeps growing, and hydroponics is at the center of it. While small herb kits are common, vertical hydroponic systems for serious growers can sell for $1,000–$5,000. Few retailers specialize here, making it a great opportunity.

5. Electric Outboard Motors

The boating niche has always been lucrative, but most sellers still focus on gas-powered options. Electric outboard motors are not only eco-friendly but also command high prices, often $2,000–$10,000. Competition is surprisingly light in 2025.

6. Commercial Ice Makers

Restaurants and bars rely on them, but the market for commercial ice makers hasn’t been fully tapped online. Units often sell for $1,500–$4,000, and buyers are business owners who need reliability, not the cheapest option.

7. Smart Standing Desks

The work-from-home boom isn’t going away, and standing desks are here to stay. But instead of competing in the cheap market, focus on smart, motorized desks with advanced features. Prices range from $800–$2,500, and the niche is still growing.

Wrapping Up

These seven high-ticket niches with low competition in 2025 all have the same thing in common: they’re big enough to support a profitable store but not so crowded that you’ll drown in competition.

The next step is to validate demand, check supplier availability, and build your store the right way. If you’re new to the process, start with our Drop Ship Blueprint. It’s the exact system thousands of students have used to go from zero to profitable high-ticket dropshipping businesses.
