Compare ecommerce markets on score, demand, and estimated revenue
Trending Markets is the market-research side of TrendMetric. You browse markets and submarkets with MarketScore™, stored demand, estimated monthly revenue, TAM, competition, and status. Each market is scored on its own. Parent and submarket revenue is never added together.
- Independent MarketScore™ on parents and submarkets
- Estimated revenue and TAM as modeled ranges for comparison — not checkout data
- Country views from stored country volumes, with Worldwide as the full snapshot
Pair market research with: Who’s Scaling, AI Market Analysis, Trending Products, VolumeScore™.
Market trends without mixing TAM
A parent market and its submarkets are related, but they are not extra money stacked on top of each other. If you add child TAM to the parent, you double-count. TrendMetric will not do that for you.
Use the hierarchy to zoom in. Compare siblings when you are choosing a niche. Open the parent when you need the wider category. Status labels such as Breakout or Emerging come from the same live snapshot as the scores.
What estimated revenue is — and is not
Estimated monthly revenue is a modeled range for comparison across markets. TAM is modeled the same way. Neither figure is observed Shopify checkout, ad spend, or a merchant’s bank balance.
Treat the range as a way to see whether a market already looks large enough to care about, then validate with your own tests. Who’s Scaling uses the same revenue helpers when you want size plus acceleration.
How market research fits the rest of the stack
Find products in Trending Products, then confirm the category in Trending Markets. If you care which sizable markets are still accelerating, open Who’s Scaling. If you need a monthly-snapshot brief, use AI Market Analysis — that board does not replace these live scores.
Market metrics without double-counting TAM
MarketScore™
Research rank from stored demand, momentum, and competition. Not a profit forecast.
Demand
Stored search demand for the market, including country switching.
Estimated revenue
Modeled monthly range for comparison. Not observed checkout totals.
TAM
Modeled the same way as revenue. Never summed across parent and child.
Competition & status
Crowding and snapshot status (for example Breakout or Emerging) from the live market board.
30D / 90D growth
Momentum on the market series, used again in Who’s Scaling after the revenue floor.
When market research comes first
Pick a niche
Compare submarkets on MarketScore™ and estimated revenue without treating the child as extra parent TAM.
Brief a category
Show a client the live snapshot: demand, competition, and a revenue range — labeled as an estimate.
Check expansion
Switch country to read stored local demand. Do not add geographies together.
For operators and agencies doing ecommerce market research who need comparable market rows — not a store spy and not a blended TAM spreadsheet.
[ F.A.Q ]
Ecommerce market research FAQ
Do you add parent and submarket revenue together?+
No. Each market is read on its own. Parent and submarket estimated revenue and TAM are never summed.
Is estimated revenue real checkout data?+
No. It is a modeled monthly range for comparison. It is not observed checkout, ad spend, or Shopify totals.
How is this different from Who’s Scaling?+
Trending Markets is the full scored board. Who’s Scaling is a ranking of markets that already clear a meaningful estimated-revenue floor and still show positive momentum.
Does AI Market Analysis replace this page?+
No. AI Market Analysis uses stored monthly snapshots. Live MarketScore™ and revenue display still live in Trending Markets.
Which plans include Trending Markets?+
Starter, Pro, and Business all include Trending Markets on the same live catalog.
