Product research tools
Product research is both a science and an art. The good news is that the science is greatly aided by data - data on what customers are searching, how many products compete for those keywords, how many reviews they have, whether they run-out-of-stock often.
Amazon's Product Opportunity Explorer tool (Seller Central login required) gives you access to rich, accurate customer demand data so you know the WHY as well as the WHAT.

Product Opportunity Explorer
Opportunity Explorer allows you to understand Amazon customers' preferences to evaluate if there is unmet customer demand, and an opportunity for you to meet that demand through new products and product features.
Discover unmet & underserved demand
Research customer demand signals via keyword search data, and filter for the highest search volume or highest growth keywords
Find niche opportunities
Look for product niches, review competitive products in key niches to identify opportunities for differentiation
Assess competition
Find data on how many brands and products compete in the same space, their average pricing, reviews and even out-of-stock rates
