This was conveyed by Ekhel Chandra Wijaya as Tokopedia Head of Corporate Affairs in a discussion with the media crew at the Tokopedia Tower Jakarta office. The shift of people’s shopping habits on Tokopedia from health products to fashion based on data from the period of Ramadan to Eid 1444.
From March 23 to April 22, 2023, the products in the fashion category that people are most interested in on Tokopedia include T-shirts, shoes and scarves.
