This Week's Trending Product: Amazon Essentials

In the world of retail, few names carry as much weight as Amazon. Despite recent shifts in its private label offerings, one brand continues to shine: Amazon Essentials.

With a remarkable year-over-year growth of +767% and a month-to-month increase of +1,063%, Amazon Essentials is capturing the attention of consumers. This surge in popularity comes at a time when Amazon has made adjustments to its private label portfolio, discontinuing some brands while retaining others, such as Amazon Essentials.
