What it does

Trends, scored and ranked

Every other trade-data platform makes you query, filter, sort, export, and squint at a spreadsheet to figure out what's growing. ShipScout flips it: open the Trending Products dashboard and the AI has already crunched 30/60/90-day customs movement, computed velocity scores, and ranked the categories where demand is climbing fastest.

Each trending product is a row with: Trade Index Score (0-100), growth percentage vs prior period, total shipment volume, top 5 destination markets, top 5 exporters, and a one-click action to open the full buyer list filtered to that product. No queries to write. No dashboards to build.

How it works

Six things every trending product gives you

Trade Index Score (0-100)

Composite score blending volume velocity, market diversification, exporter entry rate, and growth consistency. 80+ = surging.

Growth % vs Prior Period

Side-by-side 30, 60 and 90-day movement, so you can tell acceleration from a market that is simply large.

Top Destination Markets

The 5 countries pulling the biggest volume right now, with month-over-month change. Targets your geography choice.

Top Exporters

Who is winning the lane today, by volume, value and consistency. Useful for benchmarking or competitor work.

One-Click Buyer List

Pivot straight into the buyer list filtered to this product. Real importer names, decision-maker contacts, and ready outreach.

News Context

Reuters, Bloomberg, Kraken-API and FTA-bulletin feeds explain the why: a tariff cut, a supply-chain shift, a regulation change.

Categories covered

Every major trade category, scored continuously

  • Spices & agriculture: cardamom, turmeric, basmati, cashews, coffee, organic produce
  • Textiles & apparel: cotton fabric, technical textiles, ready-made garments, footwear
  • Electronics: semiconductors, EV components, solar cells, consumer electronics, drones
  • Chemicals & pharma: APIs, specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, cosmetic ingredients
  • Machinery: CNC tooling, packaging machinery, food processing, plastic moulding
  • Metals & minerals: alloy steel, copper rods, aluminium scrap, rare earths
  • Building & construction: ceramic tiles, sanitaryware, glass, prefab structures

Why it's different

Other providers all let you query trade data. None of them tell you what's trending. You bring a hypothesis, run a search, and hope it pans out. ShipScout flips that workflow.

Three structural advantages:

  1. Composite scoring. Raw volume isn't enough, because a market can be large and flat. The Trade Index Score also rewards market diversification (more buying countries = stronger trend) and new-exporter entry (fresh players entering = real demand pull).
  2. Live news layer. News API integration with Reuters, Bloomberg and Kraken Reuters feeds explains the cause: a UAE-India CEPA tariff cut, an Indonesian export ban, an EU CBAM phase-in, or plain seasonality.
  3. One-click monetisation path. Trending product → buyer list → CRM AI draft → outbound campaign. Three clicks from "I see a trend" to "I'm pitching the buyers driving it".

Real example

March 2026: ShipScout's Trending Products dashboard scores HS 1006.30 (semi-milled / wholly milled rice) at Trade Index 91, up from 73 in January. UAE imports rose 38% month on month after the India-UAE CEPA tariff schedule reset on 1 March. The dashboard surfaces the top 22 UAE rice importers with full buyer profiles.

An Indian rice exporter in Karnal sees the alert, opens the buyer list, fires CRM AI drafts to all 22, and books 5 quote requests in week one. Two convert into recurring contracts. Total contract value Year 1: USD 1.4M. Time elapsed from spotting the trend to first booking: 11 days.
