Discover Profitable Amazon Markets Worldwide! SmartScout Marketplaces Tool Explained

Hey, what’s up! Vova Even here. One of the most common questions I get from sellers is: "Vova, the US market is getting so competitive. Where else can I go to grow my brand?"

If you feel like you're banging your head against a wall in a saturated niche, you need to start thinking globally.

The "Cross-Border" strategy is one of the most powerful ways to scale a brand, and the SmartScout Marketplaces tool is the bridge that helps you cross that border with actual data instead of just "guessing."

In this guide, I’m going to show you how to use this tool to spot emerging markets where your competitors aren't looking yet.

Whether it's Mexico, Canada, or Europe, the data in SmartScout allows you to find where your niche is growing fastest so you can plant your flag first.

Why Cross-Border Selling is the Ultimate "Blue Ocean"

A lot of sellers stay in the US because it’s the biggest "pie."

But according to Michael Radziszewski, the Head of Affiliate Partnerships at SmartScout, bigger isn't always better.

Sometimes, a smaller marketplace is growing at a much faster rate, meaning it's easier to rank and dominate.

Real-World Example: RC Toys in Mexico

Durnig my YouTube video recording where Michael was my guest, he shared a fascinating insight regarding radio-controlled (RC) boats and planes.

While that niche is highly competitive in the US, SmartScout data revealed that the Mexico marketplace was growing at a significantly faster rate for those specific toys.

If you were a seller in that niche, seeing that data is a total "lightbulb" moment.

It tells you that instead of fighting for Page 1 in the US, you could launch in Mexico and ride a massive growth wave with much lower competition.

Brand-Level Insights Across Countries

The Marketplaces tool operates powerfully at the Brand Level.

When you research a brand, let's say a big player like "Mr. Pen," you can see exactly how their revenue is distributed.

In our demo, we saw that while they are huge in the US, their next biggest market is Canada, pulling in nearly half a million dollars.

If you are a competitor: This tells you that Canada is a viable, high-revenue market for your products.

If you are a reseller: This shows you which marketplaces have a high demand for these brands, helping you decide where to send your wholesale inventory.

Making Data-Driven Decisions on Exchange Rates

One thing to keep in mind when using the tool is the currency exchange.

SmartScout shows you the local market numbers (e.g., Pesos for Mexico, CAD for Canada).

By comparing these to the US numbers, you can determine if the "juice is worth the squeeze."

If a market is doing millions in sales with only a handful of sellers, it’s time to start looking at your logistics and shipping costs to that region.

Conclusion: Don't Limit Your Brand to One Border

The Amazon ecosystem is massive and growing every day.

If you only look at the US, you are missing out on millions of potential customers.

The SmartScout Marketplaces tool gives you the "birds-eye view" needed to see where the real growth is happening.
