ith the holy month of Ramadan in full swing, Indonesians across the country eagerly anticipate the looming Eid holiday. Aside from great enthusiasm, Indonesians also greet Ramadan with an increased tendency to shop.
According to Google data, nearly 50 percent of online purchases happen in the first week of Ramadan, with 88 percent of shoppers buying items from at least one retailer that they had never purchased from before. This trend aligns with the time-honoured tradition of Eid, which is a joyous occasion where family members come together and either give gifts or dress up in matching outfits to celebrate the holiday.
Indonesian e-commerce platform Blibli has confirmed this trend, with almost double the number of users shopping during Ramadan, hovering at around 58 percent.
