How the whole U.S. health and personal care market is trending, from official U.S. Census data, and what it means for your eBay sourcing. These are national retail figures, not eBay.
U.S. health and personal care retail runs near a record at about $40.2B a month, up 2.5% on last year, so category demand is growing not fading.
Online sales have nearly tripled since 2018 to over $300B a quarter, and now make up 16.9% of all U.S. retail.
On eBay, protein clears fastest near 68% sell-through and omega offers the best demand-to-competition gap, while vitamins drive the most revenue despite the most crowded shelf at 84,000 listings.
Established stores like vitaminrush and iHerb dominate the top listings, so for independents the margin sits in branded, sealed specialty products and lean niches like creatine and magnesium.
