Wide Open Niches
These niches have low seller concentration, fewer protective sellers (low hidden counter %), and healthy new entrant activity — the best conditions for new creators.
Crowded Niches
High concentration means a few top sellers capture most revenue. Combined with protective behavior and a flood of new entrants, these niches are harder to break into without differentiation.
