NEW DELHI, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Halal Food Market is entering a new growth phase. Valued at USD 2,545.9 billion in 2023, it's projected to reach USD 5,243 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6% between 2025 and 2030.

The surge reflects a major demographic and cultural shift: the world's Muslim population, now close to 2 billion people (roughly 25% of the global total), is reshaping what and how the world eats.

At the same time, halal food is breaking out of its traditional niche. Once limited to religiously observant consumers, it's now sought after for its clean preparation standards, ethical sourcing, and high trust factor among global shoppers.

"We're witnessing halal evolve from a faith-based standard into a global benchmark for food integrity," said, Senior Analyst at MarkNtel Advisors. "It's no longer a specialty segment - it's a quality movement influencing mainstream brands."

A Market Built on Demographic Power and Digital Reach

Behind the expansion is a combination of population growth, economic momentum, and smarter retail distribution.

Rising affluence in Muslim-majority countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and Egypt is lifting spending power, fueling demand for premium, certified halal products.
Urbanization and economic modernization have expanded retail networks, while e-commerce and mobile apps are making halal food accessible to millions of consumers globally.
Even in non-Muslim regions - the U.S., Canada, and Europe - halal food shelves are becoming standard in supermarkets and online platforms.

The result: a structural shift where halal certification isn't just cultural compliance - it's competitive advantage.

Halal Beyond Religion: A Lifestyle Choice

Halal food's appeal now reaches well beyond Muslim consumers. Increasingly, non-Muslims are buying halal products because they perceive them as:

Safer -processed under stricter hygiene rules.
Cleaner - free from harmful additives or preservatives.
Ethically sourced - aligned with fair treatment of animals and sustainable practices.

This wider trust base has encouraged multinational giants like Nestlé, Unilever, Cargill, BRF Global, Mondelez, Tyson Foods, and Del Monte to diversify their halal product portfolios. Local champions such as Al Islami Foods, Kawan Food, and Saffron Road are also scaling up exports to tap into global opportunities.

What's Fueling Growth

1. The Global Rise of Halal Tourism

A lesser-known driver is the boom in halal tourism. Muslim travelers are seeking destinations that align with their dietary and cultural expectations - alcohol-free restaurants, prayer spaces, and certified halal dining options.

In 2022, Malaysia ranked #1 in the Global Muslim Travel Index, underscoring the country's leadership in halal tourism.
Non-Arab destinations like Brazil, Argentina, the Philippines, Nigeria, and China are also joining the halal tourism map by offering Muslim-friendly amenities.

This trend is pushing hotels, airlines, and restaurants worldwide to serve halal food, creating an interlinked ecosystem between travel, hospitality, and food production.

2. The Plant-Based Halal Revolution

A growing wave of health-conscious consumers is driving demand for plant-based halal products foods that respect both health priorities and Islamic dietary laws.

With lifestyle diseases like diabetes and high cholesterol on the rise, many consumers are turning to vegan or low-fat diets.
Ethical concerns around animal welfare and sustainability are aligning with halal values.

Companies are responding fast. In 2023, Green Monday, a pioneer in plant-based foods, announced plans to launch its halal-certified range in the Middle East by 2024. The company's strategy reflects a larger movement where halal and vegan markets intersect, giving birth to "ethical food hybrids."

3. Blockchain and Technology in Certification

Traceability has become the new trust currency. Halal producers are integrating blockchain technology to record every stage - from ingredient sourcing to packaging - in an unalterable digital ledger.

Blockchain ensures that products remain authentic, transparent, and fraud-free.
It allows consumers to scan a product's QR code and instantly verify halal status.
Companies adopting digital traceability are strengthening brand loyalty and meeting the growing demand for verified supply chains.

Market Challenges: Complexity in Compliance

Despite its rapid growth, the industry faces hurdles that could slow expansion if not addressed:

Certification inconsistencies - varying halal standards across regions complicate exports.
Supply chain bottlenecks - maintaining compliance across sourcing, processing, and transport adds operational strain.
Higher costs - strict halal audits and infrastructure requirements can pressure smaller businesses.
Limited halal logistics - cold-chain facilities and dedicated transport networks remain underdeveloped in some markets.

Industry analysts note that harmonizing halal standards globally will be crucial to unlocking further scalability and investor confidence.
