19 THE UNTAPPED OPPORTUNITY HALAL SECTOR

20 HALAL Halal industry, a rapidly expanding business now reaching 1.6 billion consumers worldwide and worth an estimated US$2.1 trillion. The current Halal foods market has some estimates as high as $560 billion. Conversely these estimates are lessened by the fact that a significant portion of the halal market is composed of meats produced and consumed domestically. The Halal market has become the latest buzz and untapped market in the international marketplace.

The current Halal foods market has some estimates as high as $560 billion.

21 HALAL - NEW MARKET FORCE The interest and demand for Halal-certified products and services continues to increase across global markets, making Halal not just a religious obligation, but also a powerful market force. With a consumer base of 1.6 billion Muslims world-wide, and with its strong crossover potential becoming apparent, Halal is emerging as the standard of choice for consumers and manufacturers in many parts of the world. With per capita expenditure on food and beverages consistently on the rise, especially throughout the Muslim world, the estimated market value for Halal products has reached to several hundred billion USD annually. With the recent interest in Halal healthcare, including personal hygiene and cosmetic products, the overall Halal market value is expected to rise even further.
