"Based on our observations, we believe this is because all local players always try to play with the society's emotions when it comes to their products, promotions and campaigns," said Andrew Prasatya, iPrice Indonesia's senior content marketer.

Andrew attributed the usage of local terms in the brands’ names and contents with local affinity as an example of the elements that may have contributed to the local e-commerce sites' monthly visit record.

Other businesses that made it into the top 10 list were the Indonesian subsidiary of Chinese commerce giant JD.com, JD.ID (12.5 million) and the joint marketplace of state-owned telecommunications firm Telkom and US-based marketplace eBay, Blanja.com (5 million).

The list is part of iPrice’s new map of e-commerce businesses in Indonesia, created to compare their sizes. (kes)
