3. Thailand Sees Surge in Demand for Black Attire
Following the passing of Queen Sirikit and the government's requirement for civil servants to wear mourning attire for one year and the public to wear black or subdued colors for 90 days, a surge in demand for black clothing has swept through both online and offline stores in Thailand. Sales have reached the highest level since the mourning period for the late King Bhumibol in 2016. Some merchants have reported rapid sell-outs of black shirts and dresses, with one vendor noting daily sales skyrocketing from the usual 200-300 items to 10,000 pieces. Factories are experiencing shortages of black T-shirts. The Ministry of Commerce has issued warnings against price gouging during the mourning period, requiring all goods to be clearly priced with justifiable increases to ensure market stability.

4. Logistics Emerges as Key Challenge for Malaysian E-commerce
According to a recent Milieu Insight study, Malaysian e-commerce sellers are increasingly prioritizing steady growth over rapid expansion amid intensifying market competition. About 40% of sellers have been operating for over three years, indicating market maturation. The survey reveals a relatively young seller demographic, with nearly half aged 25-34. Most sellers handle fewer than 100 monthly orders, valuing trust-building, customer loyalty, and reliable service over sheer sales volume. While 44% of respondents expect stable or improved business this year, logistics remains a foundational industry challenge. Forty percent of sellers have incurred losses due to failed deliveries, refunds, or damaged parcels. Simultaneously, 57% believe international competitors directly impact their operations, and 75% call for stronger local support to maintain competitiveness.
