I believe the hottest niches for 2018 will all be the same except with new approaches, products and methods of marketing. I just like to emphasize on health, electronic/digital products , money making online which I consider as primary and massive markets with so many sub-niches. Competition may be extensive but the key here is the Unique Selling Proposition and strategic marketing.
