How to Find Top-Selling Products in UAE for Amazon
Now I’ll guide you regarding the Top-Selling Products in UAE and how to find them step by step. Based on my personal experience, I’ve learned that product selection is one of the most crucial parts of e-commerce. If we launch the wrong product, it not only wastes our money and time but also leads to demotivation in the field of online business. That’s why in the journey of making money on Amazon, we must give extra attention to choosing the right product.
In this article, I’ll explain how beginners can find top-selling products in UAE using both free and paid tools. I’ll also divide this discussion into two sections:
- Product research for modules like retail arbitrage or drop-shipping
- Product research for modules like MPL (Micro Private Label) or PL (Private Label)

Why Product Selection Matters in UAE Market
The UAE market is relatively small compared to big marketplaces like the USA, UK, or Germany. That means competition is less, but at the same time, the room for error is also limited. Selecting the wrong product can block your investment, while choosing the right product can bring quick sales and stable profits.
Product Research for Beginners (Retail Arbitrage & Drop-Shipping)

For those who are totally new and want to earn some “kitchen income” in the beginning—or just gain experience—retail arbitrage is one of the safest ways to start. It may take a little time, but it is long-term and less risky compared to private label.
Here are the points you should focus on while selecting a product for retail arbitrage in UAE:
- BSR (Best Seller Rank): Choose products with a BSR less than 1,000 if you want quick orders. For a safer range, go up to 5,000, but not more because UAE is a small market.
- Number of Sellers: The product listing should have more than 3 sellers but less than 10 sellers. Also, make sure Amazon UAE itself is not the seller.
- Brand Restrictions: Avoid branded products. You can check whether a product is brand-registered by searching its brand name on Marcaria.
- Sales Volume: The product should have at least 50+ units sold in the past month.
- Review Check: If sales data is not clear, check the reviews or ratings section. If customers in UAE are leaving reviews, it means the product is in demand.
- IP Complaints: Always check if the listing has any intellectual property (IP) complaints. You can use IP Alert by Seller Assistant App (free or paid). The paid version gives more detailed data and is highly recommended if you can afford it.
By following these points, you can filter out products that are profitable, safe, and fast-selling in UAE.

Product Research for Private Label (PL) or MPL
If you want to build your own brand through Private Label (PL) or Micro Private Label (MPL), the research criteria are a little different.
- Market Presence: First, check if your product is actually selling in the UAE. Search your main product keyword and see how many listings appear.
- Minimum Listings & Sales: Ideally, you should find at least 8 listings with more than 100+ units sold per month.
- Competition Level: Look for keywords with low competition so that your PPC (Pay-Per-Click) ad budget stays low. The fewer competitors, the better results you’ll get with less spending.
- Using Paid Tools: If you have access to paid tools like Helium10, you can use Cerebro or Magnet to find high-search-volume but low-competition keywords in your category.
For PL/MPL sellers, the UAE market is flexible. You don’t need very high requirements—just start small, analyze, and then scale.

Final Thoughts
