Analytic Index Says Top Searched Father’s Day Gifts Suggest a Return to Normalcy in American Households

Analytic Index, a leading provider of eCommerce data solutions for retailers and consumer goods manufacturers, today reported that Americans are now pivoting to spend on more traditional Father’s Day gifts than in 2020. The data was based on Analytic Index’s review of Amazon.com search and purchase data over the last 30 days.

According to the findings, the most popular items this year include camping, golf, and barbecue equipment, suggesting that families are ready to put the pandemic behind them and return to more traditional outdoor gatherings and pursuits. The data also found that electronics—especially Smart Watches and wireless earbuds—remain popular gift ideas. Analytic Index also found that searches for 2020’s more popular gifts, such as tools and home repair materials, lagged this year.

“Amazon’s sales and search activities provide a reliable snapshot of the consumer trends that drive ecommerce and retail behavior,” said Mike Karlsven, co-founder and chief executive officer of Analytic Index. “The data we collected and reviewed indicates that many Americans see this coming Father’s Day as a perfect opportunity to move past the pandemic. The heavy search emphasis on camping, barbecue and sporting goods gifts suggest that consumers are growing more confident that they can reconnect with family and friends in settings that are less restrictive and more social. This is significantly different from last year’s search activities, when most Father’s Day gifts were suited for indoor use.

Designed to help brand manufacturers obtain useful market insights, Analytic Index provides data that helps consumer goods manufacturers measure performance in several categories, such as brand perception and digital shelf placement, organic and paid search activity, and sales traction. Through this data, sellers can compare their own performance against peer activity, and make fact-based decisions to improve sales and market positioning.  Analytic Index monitors activity on major ecommerce platforms, including Amazon and Walmart. The company’s solutions are cloud-based and can be accessed through an intuitive interface from any device.
