How to read this. The sparkline is search demand in the United States over the
last 52 weeks, indexed 0–100 against the product's own peak — so it shows direction, not volume.
Heat combines current interest with momentum. Price and orders come from AliExpress. A product
with rising demand, healthy orders and a low enough cost to take a 2.5–3× markup is worth testing;
one that is cooling with thousands of sellers usually is not.
What the numbers say about toys & hobby in the United States
- Most proven demand: fidget toys — 24.9k orders on AliExpress at 4.9★. Volume this high means the product sells; the open question is whether the market is already crowded.
- Best margin room: fidget toys at $4.80 — a 3× markup lands near $14, which is inside impulse-buy territory and still leaves roughly $10 per unit before ad costs.
- Losing steam: drone with camera, down 27% against its baseline. Still sells, but you would be buying into a falling trend — the ad costs stay while conversion drifts down.
- Needs a different playbook: kinetic sand at $401.94 — too expensive for impulse buying, so it only works with content that sells the product before the price is seen.
