2025-01-17

Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are the most important religious festivals in the Muslim community in the Middle East, and they set off a huge consumption boom every year. In 2025, Ramadan will start on February 28 and end on March 30; followed by Eid al-Fitr, which will be celebrated on March 31. During this period, consumers in the Middle East not only have a strong desire to consume, but also make a lot of purchases on major e-commerce platforms, involving household goods, food, fashion accessories and other categories.

 

For cross-border e-commerce sellers, this is a golden opportunity that cannot be missed - consumers' purchasing power is unprecedentedly strong, and the big promotions on e-commerce platforms have caused sales to soar. How to seize this opportunity? Let's take a look.

 

Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr: The consumption boom behind the festival

 

Ramadan is not only a religious festival, but also a period of great social and family atmosphere. During Ramadan, Muslim families will prepare sumptuous meals for their family and friends, decorate their homes, buy festive clothing, etc. As the festival approaches, major platforms and retailers launch various promotions to attract consumers' attention. Eid al-Fitr ends Ramadan, marking the beginning of celebrations in the Muslim community, where people gather together to exchange gifts and hold banquets. This period is the peak shopping season, especially for consumer categories such as home furnishings, food, clothing, and perfumes.

 

What are consumers in the Middle East buying?

 

According to Amazon data, during Ramadan and Eid in 2024, the hot-selling products in the Middle East market are diverse, covering a wide range of needs from 3C products to household goods and travel equipment.

How to seize this shopping peak?

 

For cross-border e-commerce sellers, Ramadan and Eid provide a rare sales opportunity. How to seize this opportunity? Here are a few key points:

 

1. Prepare and put hot-selling products on the shelves in advance

 

During Ramadan and Eid, home furnishings, 3C products and kitchen appliances will become popular categories. Sellers should prepare goods in advance and ensure that the goods are put on the shelves smoothly, especially those that meet the festive atmosphere, which can attract more consumers' attention.

 

2. Participate in platform promotions

 

Major e-commerce platforms will launch exclusive promotions for festivals. Sellers can increase exposure through platform advertising, discounts and other functions, and use promotions to increase sales.

 

3. Customized marketing strategies

 

In view of the cultural characteristics of the Middle East, sellers can attract consumers through special marketing methods (such as gifts, discounts, and special holiday packaging). Providing packages and customized services that meet holiday needs will help increase brand awareness and sales.

 

4. Logistics and timeliness guarantee

 

During the holidays, consumers have a high demand for fast delivery. Cross-border sellers should ensure the transportation timeliness of products and the reliability of local delivery.
