The ranking
Beauty leads, but the shape of the top five matters.
These percentages describe how often each niche appears across the 17,994 unique profiles. They do not describe spending, campaign volume, creator income, or content performance. Read them as the composition of this dataset.

Three defensible observations from the aggregate data.
The most useful reading is descriptive and narrow. It compares measured profile shares inside this dataset while avoiding claims the data cannot support.
Beauty and fitness form the leading pair.
Beauty measures 18.6% and fitness measures 14.5%. Both sit well above the remaining reported niches. That makes them the clearest high-share categories in the dataset, without implying that either category guarantees easier sourcing or stronger campaign results.
Parenting occupies a distinct middle position.
Parenting appears on 7.4% of profiles. Its share is 7.1 percentage points below fitness and 1.3 points above fashion. The number suggests a meaningful presence in the dataset, but it does not reveal subtopics, audience age, geography, or content format.
Fashion and travel are nearly level.
Fashion measures 6.1% and travel measures 6.0%, a difference of only 0.1 percentage point. The practical conclusion is not that one category is materially larger. It is that both occupy a similar measured tier among these profiles.
Methodology
How to read the niche percentages.
The denominator is 17,994 unique creator profiles. Each reported percentage is the share of those profiles associated with a given niche. The analysis is multi-label, which means one profile may belong to more than one niche.
Count unique profiles
The study reports 17,994 unique creator profiles. Repetition of the same profile is not presented as additional creator volume in the published denominator.
Allow niche overlap
A creator profile may carry multiple niche associations. For example, a profile may reasonably sit across beauty and fashion, or fitness and travel. Because those labels can overlap, adding the percentages does not produce an exclusive distribution.
Measure prevalence in the dataset
Beauty at 18.6% means beauty is associated with 18.6% of the 17,994 unique profiles analyzed. It does not mean beauty owns 18.6% of all UGC creators on every platform or in every market.
Publish aggregates only
This page contains no customer-level, user-level, or creator-level data. It publishes category percentages and the overall profile count, not handles, contact information, prompts, account histories, or individual classifications.
Limits before interpretation.
- The figures describe this 17,994-profile dataset. They should not be treated as a census of the global creator economy or a complete count of every UGC creator.
- The five percentages are not mutually exclusive because profiles may have multiple niches. Their sum cannot be interpreted as coverage of the dataset, and an unreported remainder cannot be inferred from it.
- The published result does not specify a time window, geography, platform mix, or niche-labeling procedure. Comparisons that depend on those dimensions are outside the evidence available here.
- Niche prevalence is not evidence of creator quality, availability, pricing, reply rate, audience fit, content performance, or campaign conversion. Those require separate measurements.
- Only aggregate findings are published. No customer, user, or individual creator data is included, so this page cannot support profile-level conclusions.
For sourcing teams
Use prevalence as context, not a campaign shortcut.
A high-share niche may offer a broader starting pool in this dataset, but a creator list still needs to reflect the brief. Product category, location, content style, audience fit, exclusions, and contact requirements can matter more than the niche label alone.
The practical use of this research is planning. It can help teams frame an initial hypothesis about where profile volume appears concentrated. It should not replace creator-level review or UGC creator fit scoring.
