1. Wing Pillow Becomes Moms’ New Favorite, Surpassing 10,000 Daily Sales!
GoodsFox data reveals that the "wing pillow" from TikTok Vietnam's Vipkids shop sold over 17,000 units on January 13 alone. This pillow is specially designed for pregnant women, featuring a 30-degree tilt to maximize contact between the abdomen and the pillow, relieving back pressure. An auxiliary pillow fills the gap behind the back, reducing pain while sleeping on the side. The pillow can be adjusted according to the size of the abdomen, making it suitable for the entire pregnancy. Vipkids specializes in maternal and baby products, consistently offering functional items that are well-received by consumers.

2. 85% of Global Companies to Adjust Supply Chains Amid Trade War Fears
With Trump back in office, the fear of intensified trade wars has caused global companies to rethink their supply chains. According to a survey by the Conference Board, 85% of 1,700 large enterprises plan to adjust their supply chains in 2025, a 15% increase compared to the previous year. Forty-five percent of global CEOs now consider escalating trade wars the top geopolitical risk for 2025, up from 19% last year. Southeast Asian companies are particularly concerned, with 90% planning supply chain adjustments.
3. Cross-border E-Commerce Sellers in 2025: Key Trade Challenges to Watch
E-Merchants has outlined five key trade challenges cross-border e-commerce sellers will face in 2025. These include potential changes to duty-free policies, new tariffs proposed by Trump (up to 100% for certain countries), and possible strikes at East Coast and Gulf of Mexico ports. Sellers should also be aware of Mexico’s IMMEX program, which could impose a 19% tariff on goods from non-trade-agreement countries like China, and compliance issues with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
4. Amazon to Shut Down Prime “Try Before You Buy” Service
Amazon will close its "Try Before You Buy" service for Prime members on January 31. This decision is influenced by the rise of AI-driven features like virtual try-ons, personalized size recommendations, and improved size charts, which have reduced the need for the service.
