Are you searching for a lucrative B2B business niche to venture into in 2023? There are certain products and services that are expected to gain more popularity in the coming years.
Here are some examples that I think are worth considering.
Managed IT
More companies are realizing the benefits of outsourcing an IT team rather than hiring one in-house. Managed IT services can help with various IT-related tasks, including recommending new tech solutions, fixing software bugs, providing cloud storage, strengthening cybersecurity, and providing ongoing monitoring against future cyberattacks. If you have experience with IT or cybersecurity, it’s a good sector to get into.
Dropshipping
Online stores no longer have to store all their inventory on-site physically. Instead, online stores can use dropshipping services to provide warehousing for them. These dropshipping warehouses can be located worldwide, allowing fast shipping to any location. Setting up your dropshipping warehouse to serve other businesses could be a great business idea to explore.
Drone sale/hire
While many people buy drones for recreational use, they have a growing commercial audience. This includes photographers, videographers, security firms, farms, construction companies, and biological research companies. Setting up a company that sells or hires these drones could be profitable. This could also include services like drone training or even drone operation.
Commercial photography/videography
Do you happen to have experience with a camera? More companies are investing in professional photography and videography services to help with digital marketing. A reliable videography business can be a valuable asset in today’s visual-driven marketing landscape.
Examples of services include stock photography, product photography, aerial real estate photography, video advertising, corporate training videos, and explainer videos.
Website development/SEO
Every company needs a website. SEO (search engine optimization) is becoming a more necessary service to help rank highly on search engines. It’s become popular for website development companies to offer website building, management, and SEO as an all-in-one service. However, you could specialize in one if you prefer.
App development
More businesses are also building company apps as a loyalty marketing tool. If you have software development experience – especially with a language like Java or C+ – consider setting up your own app development company. This guide at Udemy explains more.
Safety equipment retail
Health and safety are tightening up within all industries. Companies are investing in more safety equipment to keep employees and clients safe. Popular equipment includes safety signs, PPE (e.g., gloves, boots, respirator masks that require proper fit testing), harnesses, barriers, first aid kits, and fire safety equipment. Proper respiratory protection has become increasingly critical in workplace safety protocols, with businesses needing to ensure compliance with safety standards and regular fit testing requirements.
Robot parts
The increasing use of robots in industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and scientific research has resulted in a demand for robot parts to help with maintenance. Many companies online sell specialist parts, such as Schneider parts. Such a niche will grow even more as robots become more prevalent in other industries.
3D printing
3D printing services can be used to produce a range of specialist parts for various industries. Popular uses include replacing rare machinery parts, building unique architectural details, and creating artificial limbs. You could provide such services by owning a 3D printer and learning how to use it.
Green packaging
Companies are abandoning plastic in favor of recyclable and biodegradable materials. This has led to a rise in green packaging services ranging from recyclable food packaging to recyclable toiletries packaging. Designing and manufacturing this packaging could be another great business idea.
