AI Prompts to Analyze Product Demand and Trends on Amazon

Understanding your market is the foundation of every profitable Amazon business. Before you invest in inventory, PPC, or creative assets, you need data-driven insight into what buyers actually want, what’s trending, and where the demand is shifting.

The good news? AI can help. With the right prompts, you can use ChatGPT (or any other assistant) to simulate expert-level market research — faster, cheaper, and more creatively than using spreadsheets alone.

Here’s how to analyze your Amazon market like a pro using tailored AI prompts.
