The Lebaran moment has passed, with the consumer habit of choosing biscuit tin holds an interesting story about how the tradition of sharing lives on.

In the festive spirit of Lebaran — a time that celebrates togetherness and giving, biscuit tins go beyond being just a treat; they become meaningful and memorable gifts. Their popularity as an Eid offering comes from a perfect blend of flavour, convenience, and tradition.
Here’s why biscuit tins are so well-loved:

• Strong traditional value: Interestingly, 47% of consumers see biscuit tins as part of a long-standing family tradition, reinforcing their role as a symbol of togetherness and connection.
Cookies top the list as the most favoured type of biscuit tin, with 74% of respondents saying they purchased them. This is followed by assorted varieties (57%) and wafers (53%).
For consumers, 46% mention that a “just right” sweet taste is a key factor when deciding to buy biscuit tins. In addition, 36% prefer products with a wide variety of flavours, and 29% consider generous quantities an important factor.

Brands also play a role in purchasing decisions. Around 21% of consumers say that they tend to choose trusted brands, while 19% select based on the popularity. Trust in product quality and consistency is a valuable asset for biscuit brands looking to remain relevant in consumers’ hearts.
As consumer preferences and lifestyles evolve, people are becoming increasingly open to flavour innovation in biscuit products. While familiar classics like chocolate and vanilla remain popular, interest is growing in unique flavours.
Flavours such as tiramisu (30%) and matcha (29%) are currently among the most desired by consumers. Other options like durian (12%), red velvet (9%), pistachio (9%), and klepon (7%) also show strong market potential.
These findings suggest that Indonesian consumers are embracing flavour exploration more than ever. For manufacturers, this presents a golden opportunity to introduce fresh and relevant product innovations that align with evolving market tastes.
Recent findings reveal that the most appealing bundle for consumers includes biscuit tins paired with syrup (64%), followed by tea, coffee, and dates as other popular complementary items.
This creates opportunities not only for biscuit brands, but also for other producers to become part of the Lebaran gifting tradition. From beverages and snacks to household goods, cross-brand collaborations offer a win-win opportunity to boost visibility and relevance during the festive season.
This Cimigo study shows that biscuit tins continue to be an important element in celebrating Lebaran in Indonesia. The findings reveal that most people choose biscuit tin due to their suitability as gifts, practicality, universally liked taste, and symbolic value as part of tradition.
Consumers also show strong interest in product innovation, particularly in new flavours such as tiramisu and matcha. In addition, bundling biscuit tins with syrup—will be effective in capturing consumer interest and influencing purchase decisions.
Overall, the findings indicate that even as the snack industry evolves, classic biscuit tins still hold a special place in people’s hearts, especially during festive occasions like Lebaran. Producers who can blend traditional values with the modern innovation have a strong opportunity to remain relevant and loved in the market.
