Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for certified halal food products, expansion of halal foodservice and restaurants, growing adoption of halal certification standards, increased focus on supply chain transparency, expansion of halal packaged food offerings.

Good dieting patterns are expected to drive the growth of the halal food market going forward. Good dieting patterns involve a balanced and varied intake of nutritious foods that meet individual health needs and promote overall well-being. Including halal foods in these diets ensures compliance with Islamic dietary laws while maintaining wholesome nutritional intake. For example, in September 2025, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government agency, reported that in 2023, about one in three individuals (33.6%) used dietary supplements, with usage higher among adult females (43.7%) compared to adult males (30.8%). Therefore, adherence to good dieting patterns is supporting growth in the halal food market.

Major companies in the halal food market are focusing on convenience-driven ready-to-eat and frozen meal solutions, such as heat-and-eat and frozen meal kits, to gain a competitive advantage. For instance, in June 2024, Saffron Road, a US-based packaged halal food company, launched four new frozen meals - “Korean Fire Roasted Chicken,” “Vegetable Bibimbap,” “Drunken Noodles,” and “Fire Roasted Adobo Chicken” - all halal-certified, gluten-free, and designed for quick preparation. Earlier in June 2024, Al Islami Foods, a UAE-based halal meat and food products company, introduced “Original Tempura Nuggets,” a fully cooked, air-fryer-friendly, high-protein ready-to-eat product made from hand-slaughtered halal chicken with no added hormones. This trend broadens the appeal of halal food to busy households and non-Muslim consumers seeking convenient, clean-label meals. Rapid growth in these segments may impact fresh meat sales and requires careful supply chain and quality control management.

In August 2024, GoodLife Foods B.V., a Netherlands-based manufacturer of frozen snacks and meal components, acquired Pure Ingredients for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to diversify GoodLife Foods' product range, enhance its presence in the halal frozen food market, and capitalize on growth opportunities throughout Europe. Pure Ingredients is a Germany-based company that produces halal frozen food products, including snacks and meal components.
