External Communications Senior Lead Tokopedia, Ekhel Chandra Wijaya revealed, “Our internal data shows that Same-day or Instant delivery is the go-to courier service choice for people when shopping for Ramadan needs. If accumulated, users can even save up to 24,000 years of delivery time thanks to this service.”
Most Popular Products During Ramadan on Tokopedia
Tokopedia also noted Furniture and Home Appliances, Health and Personal Care as well as Muslim Fashion as the three most popular categories during Ramadan. “Especially for the Muslim Fashion category, transactions have increased nearly 4x compared to the monthly average in 2021,” explained Ekhel.

The convenience of finding halal-certified products is due to Tokopedia Salam’s collaboration with the Halal Products Certification Agency (BPJPH) as the official halal certificate issuing authority from the government and The Assessment Institute for Foods, Drugs And Cosmetics, the Indonesian Council of Ulama (LPPOM MUI) as the Halal Inspection Agency (LPH).
