Tokopedia pun membagikan beberapa temuan menarik berkaitan dengan tren hobi selama 2020 yang dapat menginspirasi masyarakat dalam mengisi waktu luang di tahun ini.
- Olahraga – Berdasarkan pembelian di Tokopedia, bersepeda, fitness, memancing, mendaki dan berkemah, serta sepakbola atau futsal menjadi olahraga yang digemari masyarakat selama 2020. Terlihat dari peningkatan transaksi pada kategori Sports & Hobbies di Tokopedia menjadi hampir 2x lipat jika dibandingkan dengan 2019.
- Membaca Buku – Selain berolahraga, kegiatan membaca pun semakin diminati selama pandemi.

- Berkebun – Selain menambah estetika serta kesejukan rumah, berkebun juga bermanfaat untuk menyegarkan pikiran, sehingga menjadi salah satu hobi banyak masyarakat selama pandemi. Tokopedia mencatatkan kenaikan transaksi lebih dari 4x lipat pada subkategori Taman sepanjang 2020 jika dibandingkan 2019.
- Melukis – Melukis ternyata menjadi tren baru di kala pandemi. Paint by numbers, contohnya, terus diminati masyarakat karena teknik melukis yang mengikuti angka pada gambar sangat memudahkan bagi para pemula untuk menghasilkan lukisan yang indah.
Tingginya minat masyarakat terhadap hobi melukis ini terlihat dari kenaikan penjualan yang signifikan pada subkategori Office & Stationery di Tokopedia yang mencapai hampir 2x lipat selama 2020.
Hobi melukis juga mulai ditekuni salah satu personil BTS, Suga, selama pandemi. Bahkan Suga pernah melukis secara live lewat akun Youtube BTS yang disaksikan oleh jutaan fansnya.

Tokopedia also shared some interesting findings related to hobby trends during 2020 that can inspire people to fill their spare time this year.
- Sports – Based on purchases on Tokopedia, cycling, fitness, fishing, hiking and camping, as well as football or futsal are popular sports during 2020. It can be seen from the increase in transactions in the Sports & Hobbies category on Tokopedia to almost 2x when compared to 2019.
