With around 2 billion Muslims in more than 49 countries, Ramadan is one of the most popular occurrences around the world. Ramadan is a time for fasting, prayer, and spiritual healing for Muslims. However, it is also a time of celebration and joy for Muslim communities.
Muslims celebrate the month with family and loved ones. They often gather around Iftar, the breaking of the fast meal, or Sohour, the pre-fast meal. Shopping for gifts and gathering preparations is at an all-time high during the month.
During Ramadan, the most prominent increase in demand is for groceries, with 75% of Ramadan observers expecting to buy more groceries in Ramadan.

Preparations for Eid see 40% of consumers buying more Beauty and Care products. Similar increases in spending are also witnessed in fashion and travel for Eid.
