According to the State of the Birds report, there will be nearly 100 million bird-watching enthusiasts in the United States in 2025, accounting for more than one-third of the adult population in the United States. The total annual expenditure of these enthusiasts on bird-watching travel, equipment, clothing, photographic equipment, etc. has reached 108 billion US dollars. In other words, "bird watching" is not only a hobby in the United States, but also a huge business.
As the outdoor lifestyle continues to heat up in the United States, from binoculars, waterproof backpacks, outdoor folding chairs, to professional outdoor clothing, portable photography equipment, and even bird-themed cultural and creative products, more and more Chinese cross-border sellers are beginning to target this niche track.
But a realistic problem is: if you want to break into the American bird-watching consumer circle, you must rely not only on products, but also on the supply chain.
How can cross-border sellers improve their competitiveness to seize the bird-watching craze?
American bird-watching enthusiasts are not only huge in number, but also have strong spending power. Their demand for equipment also presents the following characteristics:
Prefer professional equipment: high requirements for product functionality, portability, and environmentally friendly materials.
Pursuit of shopping convenience: prefer to place orders on platforms such as Amazon, TEMU, TikTok Shop, etc., and expect to receive goods quickly.
Expectations for service: return and exchange experience, packaging quality and even customer service response speed will affect repurchase and reputation.
This puts higher demands on cross-border sellers: not only must the products be excellent, but the logistics services must also keep up, especially the last mile fulfillment experience. Therefore, "whether to have a stable and efficient US overseas warehouse" has become a key factor in determining the business ceiling.
Why use US overseas warehouses? You may not have used these advantages yet
In categories such as bird watching supplies, which have medium to high customer unit prices and high requirements for delivery experience, US overseas warehouses have several irreplaceable advantages:
Fast timeliness: Goods are warehoused in advance to achieve local delivery, which can generally be delivered in 2-5 days, improving buyer satisfaction;
Lower freight costs: Compared with direct delivery from China, the final cost is greatly reduced, and more low-price free shipping strategies are supported;
Support drop shipping: flexible distribution, no inventory pressure, suitable for small and medium-sized sellers to test new categories;
More convenient returns: support local returns, reduce dispute rates, and improve platform ratings.
Especially in the scenario of explosive orders on platforms such as TikTok Shop and Temu, a US overseas warehouse with fast response, accurate shipments, and smooth system docking can greatly improve operational efficiency and conversion rate.
