2. Automotive
Car maintenance products are big sellers on Amazon as people spend on taking good care of their vehicles. Although getting a car serviced or detailed is easy enough in Saudi Arabia, people still want to clean their vehicles at home from time to time.
This is why the top-selling product under this category is the ShowTop Microfiber Towel Pack. These towels feature a double design with a high absorption capacity to soak up dust particles and moisture. The fact that it comes in a three-pack set makes it a great value for online shoppers. Its blend of microfiber and velour allows for easy pickup without leaving scratches or streaks.
Other bestsellers in this category are the Shell Helix Ultra SP 5W-30 motor oil and the Helloleiboo Car Windshield Sun Shade.

3. Patio, Lawn and Garden
Although consumers have been turning to e-commerce for patio or garden furniture, your store on Amazon can still compete with small items under this category. Some of the best-selling products include spray bottles, bug zapper rackets, and pruning shears.
But the number one bestseller under Patio, Lawn & Garden is the Raid Multi Insect Killer Spray for Home, which comes in a twin pack.
You’ll notice that many items that make it on the Amazon trending products list come in bundles. Clearly, Amazon shoppers appreciate a good deal. Keep that in mind.
If you're planning to sell products in this category, consider starting with smaller items that are easier and more affordable to store and ship. As your business grows and you have more capital to invest, expand your inventory to include larger items like patio furniture, folding tables, and trolley carts — proven bestsellers on Amazon.
