Is Dropshipping Finally Dead — or Just Changing Shape?

    With AI tools, automated fulfillment, and global suppliers evolving fast, is traditional dropshipping still a viable model in 2025? Or is it shifting toward branded micro-stores and private labeling? Curious what others are seeing in their markets.

    I think dropshipping is even more alive. I think shifting to 100% digital (for example, I can live anywhere and still make money) is the future. SEO in itself or Ecommerce is very new still.
    I drop ship art using Gelato. It's a smart business model. You advertise and do nothing else. Just my thoughts, I think dropshipping is genius.

    I am actually going to be testing this, but from the UK. Not China.

    Dropshipping is not dead . It's evolving.
