Jakarta's Tanah Abang Market Struggles With E-commerce Shift
A view of closed and deserted shops at Tanah Abang Market, Jakarta, Indonesia, on September 22, 2023. The lack of buyers in Southeast Asia's largest textile and garment market is attributed to the increasing shift towards e-commerce platforms, particularly TikTok Shop. Traders lament a sales decline exceeding 50 percent over the past four months. Meanwhile, the Minister of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia, Zulkifli Hasan, stated that measures will be taken to regulate online sales on TikTok Shop to protect the interests of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
