A line,or range,of (possibly specialised) products which fill a particular need ot gap in the market
Explanation:
It's difficult to be sure, because there isn't much information. However, a company or manufacturer which sees a gap in the market which can be filled, then a phrase which is often used is 'filling a niche in the market'.

Given the additional information you've provided, I agree with Rita's comment below. In this case, the products would almost certainly be specialised.

I've only just noticed the typo in my answer. It should, of course, read ' . . . particular need oR gap . . . '. Sorry about that.
