Printful Identifies the Print-on-Demand Product Categories with the Highest Customer Demand in 2025

Charlotte, North Carolina Oct 30, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Printful, a global leader in print-on-demand (POD) fulfillment, published new insight into which product categories currently see the strongest consumer demand. Drawing on its own merchant, fulfillment, order data, and ecommerce trends, Printful outlines where creators and brands should focus their product mix to meet customer interest and maximize opportunity.

The Demand Landscape in Print-on-Demand

The POD market continues its rapid expansion, and one recent report estimates the global market will grow from approximately US $10.2 billion in 2024 to nearly US $103 billion by 2034, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~26%.

Printfuls proprietary analysis shows that while many new sellers default to one or two product types, high-demand categories extend well beyond standard apparel, offering both volume and margin opportunities. According to Printfuls recent blog on most profitable products to sell online, apparel tops the list, but accessories, home décor, and customization stand out as growth arenas.

Creative entrepreneurs often ask, What should I sell? said Davis Sarmins, Director of Growth Marketing at Printful. The answer isnt just trendy, its informed by data. Were helping sellers tune into what customers are actually buying now, not what people think they might buy.

Top Demand Categories for POD Products

Printfuls analysis highlights several categories where customer demand is particularly strong:

• Custom apparel (t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts): Consistently among the highest-volume categories due to widespread wearability and frequent purchases. Printfuls bestselling print-on-demand products blog underscores t-shirts as the MVP item.
• Home Décor & Wall Art: As remote work and home-based lifestyles persist, demand for posters, canvases, and other décor items has surged. Printful highlights wall arts high margin and strong appeal.
• Accessories & Lifestyle Add-ons: Items such as phone cases, tote bags, hats, and beanies are increasingly popular by virtue of being lower-price entry points and useful for personalization.
• Eco-Friendly / Sustainable Products: Consumer sentiment is shifting toward sustainable goods. Printfuls analysis shows that eco options are gaining a growing share of interest.
