i'm not sure if you are asking a generic question or a question about your niche.

there are plenty of areas where searches are low but competition is high...

typical examples of these would be technical terms in the scientific or medical fields specific to a particular (uncommon) disease or engineering problem where the costs of medication, consultancy or supplying the goods are extremely high and profitable.
