Increasing Trend in Sales of Muslim Family Clothing, Check Out 'Ramadan in Style' Inspiration!

Ramadan always brings its own euphoria because various agendas emerge to enjoy this special moment. This also affects the consumption patterns of the society, including clothing. Activities such as iftar and Eid gatherings make people shop for clothes more.

This is proven by data from the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia, which states that the performance of the Textile and Processing Industry (TPT) in 2022 has shown good results. In addition, data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) also shows that clothing consumption has sharply increased during the Ramadan quarter.

Demand Increases by 30% Compared to 2021

Other data from the Indonesian Textile Association (API) also states that the demand for the textile industry has increased by up to 30% compared to 2021.

"At Tokopedia, during Ramadan 2022, Fashion (including Muslim Fashion) became one of the most sought-after categories and had the highest number of transactions," said Aldhy Darmayo, Category Development Senior Lead at Tokopedia.

Increased Trend in Early Ramadan 2023 Shopping

A positive increase is also seen in the early days of Ramadan 2023. The trend of selling Muslim fashion on Tokopedia has shown rapid growth.

"Fashion, including Muslim Fashion, is one of the most sought-after categories during the early days of Ramadan 2023. This trend is similar to last year," explained Aldhy.

In addition, several Muslim fashion products have also experienced a significant increase in transactions on Tokopedia. "Muslim blouses have doubled, gamis and kaftans have increased 2.5 times each, baju koko has increased 3.5 times, and Muslim family clothing has increased 4 times," added Aldhy.

This is not separate from the Hyperlocal initiative and its various manifestations such as Dilayani Tokopedia. "We have seen the highest increase in the number of sellers of Muslim fashion products during the early days of Ramadan 2023 in Tasikmalaya (West Java), Bandung (West Java), Cirebon (West Java), Surakarta (Central Java), and Surabaya (East Java) with an average increase of almost 1.5 times," said Aldhy.

This momentum is utilized by local female and male Muslim fashion entrepreneurs. For example, Ria Miranda, Fatih Indonesia, ZM Zaskia Mecca, and many more.

"Since joining Tokopedia in 2018, Ria Miranda's business has grown and become more well-known. In the early months of 2023, Ria Miranda's sales on Tokopedia increased by around 127% compared to the same period in 2022," said Yaya. Ria Miranda now even empowers nearly 200 employees.

An interesting story comes from Fatih Indonesia, founded by Fahmi Hendrawan in 2015. This brand offers men's Muslim clothing with Indonesian batik elements. "The name Fatih Indonesia is taken from the Al-Fatihah verse, which means the opener. I hope this business can be the opener of my and my employees' sustenance and also open up Indonesia's identity in the global fashion scene," said Fahmi.

"Fatih Indonesia joined Tokopedia in 2021. Currently, almost 40% of Fatih Indonesia's sales come from Tokopedia," explained Fahmi.
