Halal Food & Beverage Market Overview, 2029

The global Muslim population is increasing, and so is the demand for food products that are halal certified. The expenditure on food products from Muslim countries across the globe has registered substantial growth in the past couple of years, strongly accelerating the halal food and beverage products market. The halal food and beverage sector has grown globally in recent years. The number of Muslim expatriates has increased in recent years, which have led to a distributed demand for halal food and beverage from different parts of the world. According to the world population review, Indonesia catered to the highest Muslim population in 2023.

Slaughtered halal animals undergo two health checks, as compared to the single inspection performed on other conventional animals. Besides this, several Islamic and non-Islamic countries are implementing stringent regulatory frameworks, which consist of globally accepted standards, to attract novel entrants in the market. Recently, in October 2019, the Government of Indonesia introduced mandatory halal labeling and certification rules, owing to which consumers nowadays prefer halal food. With an increase in the demand, manufactures have widened their product portfolio by introducing several value-added food items, including hot dogs, soups, candies, burgers, sandwiches, cookies, creams and pizzas. On the other hand, technological advancements in halal food items are key trends gaining popularity in the Halal market. With the increasing demand for halal foods, halal laboratories are actively engaged in the food safety, analysis of food products for maintaining quality standards to detect the presence of porcine material or alcohol, blockchain, and the Internet of things (IoT) are the technological advancements that strengthen the market. For instance, in July 2019, Trace Labs, a Hong Kong-based tech startups and OneAgrix, a Singapore-based online business to business marketplace for halal products, launched blockchain based halal certification system. Blockchain platform offers transparency in the halal economy and allows to trace the origin of halal food products.

According to the research report, “Global Halal Food and Beverage Market Overview, 2029”, the market is expected to cross USD 3.02 trillion market size by 2029, with 7.79 % CAGR by 2024-29. The global halal food and beverages market is one of the fastest emerging consumer markets in the world. Not just in Islamic countries, but even minority Non-Islamic countries are seeing growth in the halal market. There is rising interest among consumers in consuming organic and natural food and beverage products, representing a strong adjacent market for halal food products to address. Halal beverages are expected to be increasingly available in western-style grocery stores, including supermarkets and hypermarket chains.

In many countries, supermarkets and food producers have started reaching out to Muslim consumers by offering a wider selection of halal beverage products. A study has been presented discussing various intricacies of the halal food and beverages market backing with sufficient data points to support qualitative judgments. Governments of the Islamic, as well as the non-Islamic nations and the manufacturers of halal-certified food products, have been taking various initiatives in terms of marketing & educating consumers about these products. The confidence of consumers in halal brands has been the most influential factor in the actual purchase of these products. According to an article published in Salam Gateway, in November 2020 Egypt's council of ministers introduced the 'Halal in Egypt' mark for Egyptian halal exports, while the Philippines' Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) also launched an official national logo. Further, meat & alternatives held the largest segment in 2021 and are expected to maintain dominance over the forecast period. Halal meat has always been a remarkable business segment. For instance, in October 2019, Indonesia made halal certification mandatory for halal food products and established the halal products certification agency, Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Produk Halal (BPJPH). Owing to the formation of these types of organizational figures the industry participants have been successful to a great extent in building consumer trust and pushing penetration of the product category to even higher levels.

In the global halal food and beverage market, the sales channel segment includes hypermarkets/supermarkets, traditional retail, online, and others. Hypermarkets, supermarkets, and traditional retail channels lead the market due to their wide reach and convenience for consumers. These retail formats provide an extensive range of halal-certified products such as meats, dairy, beverages, and packaged foods, making them the primary shopping destinations for halal food. Supermarkets and traditional retail outlets offer the advantage of in-person shopping, allowing consumers to easily access halal items alongside their regular grocery purchases.

While online retail is growing, particularly for niche products and convenience, hypermarkets and supermarkets continue to dominate due to their large-scale operations and ability to cater to a broad range of consumer needs. The expansion of dedicated halal sections in large retail stores and the increasing availability of halal-certified goods further drive market growth through these traditional sales channels, reinforcing their leadership in the global halal food and beverage market.

The Halal food and beverage market on a global scale is categorized into several significant product types, including Halal meat, poultry, and seafood; Halal milk and dairy products; Halal fruits and vegetables; Halal grain products; beverages; and additional items. The leading segment within this market is Halal meat, poultry, and seafood, which commands a considerable market share due to its fundamental connection to Islamic dietary regulations and cultural practices. The increasing demand for Halal meat stems from consumers' need for confidence that these products are prepared in strict accordance with religious guidelines, which in turn cultivates consumer trust and loyalty.

Additionally, Halal milk and dairy products are witnessing a rise in popularity as consumers seek dairy options that align with their dietary requirements. The market for Halal fruits and vegetables is also expanding, reflecting a growing trend towards healthier eating habits. Moreover, beverage products and other categories are emerging as consumer awareness of the benefits associated with Halal certification continues to increase.

COVID-19 Impacts

The disruption of the halal food and beverage industry’s supply chains due to the swift spread of COVID-19 have affected the market growth. The leading manufacturers in Islamic and non-Islamic countries experienced a reduction in labor, which significantly affected the production capability. Furthermore, the slowdown in demand for retail products such as pre-cooked and ready-to-eat meat products negatively influenced the industry. However, the rising concerns related to immunity increased the demand for health improving products to maintain immunity. Consumers’ inclination towards healthy, nutritious, and safer products is rising. The positive evolution of consumers’ preferences towards safe and quality halal products is expected to boost this industry in the upcoming years.
