Trending products stand out because their demand is changing faster than the surrounding market.

The goal is not just to find products that are already large, but to find products showing momentum early enough to matter.

Look for acceleration, not just size

Large products are not always trending products. A trend is usually visible through changing momentum, not just existing demand.

Watch for products whose movement is improving meaningfully over a recent window.

Trend detection gets stronger when you combine estimated sales movement, review growth, pricing behavior, and category context.

This helps you avoid mistaking short-lived spikes for durable demand.

Even a strong trend needs validation before you commit resources.

Use the trend as a starting point, then review competition, pricing room, and long-term viability.
