Summary: | Online shopping has grown exponentially due to the technological growth. This development can be
seen in all the developed and developing economies irrespective of the demographic features. This paper
seeks to explore the influencing factors of Muslim consumers’ online purchase intention towards Islamic
fashion products such as apparel, accssories and hijabs. The study highlights on the better understanding
of Muslim consumers’ online shopping intention by focusing on the trend of Islamic fashion products. It
also presents the conceptual study of Muslim consumers’ online purchase intention as the main construct
based on the past studies and literature findings. Islamic fashion products’ market has a significant growth
with its high demand by Muslim consumers from different parts of the world, and thus, fashion designers,
manufacturers, retailers and fashion online stores preferably have more opportunities in the emerging
fashion market. A conceptual model is proposed to explain online purchase intention and thus, it assists in
the understanding of the underlying concept of online shopping and purchase intention. Recommendations
and suggestions for further research are also provided to embark on empirical investigation of the present
conceptual model. |
