5. Home Improvement Products & Homeware
Finally, home improvement products, such as drills, and garden accessories, such as cutters, have also shown impressive results, with respective global order growth values of 371% and 341%. Not to be forgotten though, are inconspicuous products such as kitchen towels. These saw a huge amount of growth, specifically in the beginning of 2021.
Although these products may seem very specific, 2021 has shown a massive spike in all things ‘home goods’, which includes both decor and furniture. Therefore, if you’re in the home goods space, you’re in for a conversion-filled holiday season!
