Top 5 T-Shirt Niches That Will Dominate in 2025 (Low Competition!)

About this video

RJ Martinez, who claims over $400,000 in all-time Amazon Merch royalties over eight years, presents five researched t-shirt niches he says will dominate in 2025. He explains his cross-checking method using Amazon, Etsy, Redbubble, Google, Merch Informer and EverBee, focusing on Best Seller Rank drops in the last 7, 30 and 90 days to prove consistent demand rather than relying on all-time history. The niches are: ‘Booked for the Summer’ / Book Girl Summer beach-reading designs; a funny alligator peeking from a pocket (with a strong warning not to resemble the Lacoste alligator); pineapple and hibiscus flower Hawaiian summer designs; Alpaca Squad with sunglasses, where ‘squad’ wording can prompt multiple-shirt group purchases; and a giraffe in pink bubblegum and pink sunglasses, which he expects to strengthen into Q4. For each he shows example listings, ratings and prices, search-result counts, and an Ideogram prompt idea viewers can adapt. He stresses taking inspiration only, never copying designs, and double-checking trademarks and copyrights himself. He closes by promoting his Top Research Design Vault, described as 20 low-competition niches weekly with keywords, inspiration and prompts.

Key takeaways

• Creator claims over $400,000 in all-time Amazon Merch royalties over eight years; he validates niches by cross-checking Amazon, Etsy, Redbubble and tools like Merch Informer and EverBee
• Judge demand by BSR movement in the last 7, 30 and 90 days — repeated drops indicate consistent selling, not just an old first sale
• Five niches covered: Book Girl Summer reading, alligator-in-a-pocket, pineapple/hibiscus Hawaii, Alpaca Squad, and giraffe with pink bubblegum/sunglasses
• Even five to ten sales per design per month adds up across a portfolio, per the creator, especially when a design ranks and gains Amazon visibility
• Never copy shown designs and always re-check trademarks/copyrights — especially warned against imitating the Lacoste alligator in the pocket niche
