Pusat perbelanjaan di DKI Jakarta belakangan ini tengah menghadapi tekanan tinggi. Setelah pusat perbelanjaan di Glodok ditinggalkan para pelanggan, kini giliran Matahari yang memutuskan untuk menutup dua gerainya di Pasaraya Manggarai dan Pasaraya Blok M.

Melihat fenomena ini, Wakil Ketua Umum Kamar Dagang dan Industri (KADIN) DKI Jakarta, Sarman Simanjorang menganggap hal itu wajar. Namun, dia tidak setuju jika penutupan gerai tersebut diakibatkan oleh perkembangan industri e-commerce.

“Saya tidak yakin bahwa penyebab utamanya adalah berkembangnya e-commerce karena dari data hanya sekitar 29 persen atau sekitar 26,3 juta jiwa saja yang memanfaatkan internet untuk berbelanja,” kata Sarman kepada Liputan6.com.

Meski dari data masih terbilang kecil, bukan tidak mungkin jika e-commerce akan mengambil alih dari pasar perbelanjaan ke depannya. Oleh karena itu, Sarman mengingatkan para pengusaha yang memiliki gerai untuk terus berinovasi.
