Shopping trends during Ramadan in Indonesia

The coronavirus pandemic that still occurs today also affects all aspects of life, including in meeting daily needs or shopping activities carried out by the community. Although there is now a vaccine, most people still do activities from inside the residence and do online shopping.

During Ramadan people in Indonesia meet their needs by shopping online. Both in buying personal needs, entertainment, property investment, to food poison between already using the application. Shopee currently does not only sell personal needs and pay bills only. Shopee already has Shopee Food service, which is a food delivery service.

This is because workers receive holiday allowances ahead of Lebaran. In fact, during Ramadan last year, the increase in transactions at Shopee increased by 500 percent.

In the current pandemic period of course, Indonesians prefer to buy their goods online with the aim of avoiding crowds and stopping the spread of the covid 19 virus.
