Another wave of active COVID-19 cases means yet another Movement Control Order. Compared to the first time, there’s a shift in how Malaysians respond to this 2 week lockdown.
According to Shopee by matching transaction data between pre MCO 1.0 (March 16 to 20) and 2.0 (Jan 11 to 15), while an increase in traffic to the platform and shopping activities is well expected, there are no signs of panic buying as no heavy spikes are detected around the 5 day period. Additional patterns also revealed that Malaysians already adopted tech items and home improvement tools to aid remote education and workforce, these are on top of the usual food and beverage, face masks, cleaning, and health products.
Here are some more key findings with interesting numbers.
- Over 550,000 units of tech items including laptops, smartphones, tablets, network components, keyboards, printers, and audio systems; a 4.5x increase
- Close to 20,000 YEs Kasi up SIM cards purchased to bump up home-based internet connections with a budget
- Massive 8x increase in home decor products sold, coming close to 900,000 units
- Half a million units of dry consumables such as biscuits, chocolates, dried fruits and nuts, and keropok bought by snack loving Malaysians
- Fresh products like meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits had demand spikes to 85,000 units sold
- Sales achieved for pet food and treat for the woofs and meows tripled to over 330,000 units
