PHENOMENAL DEMAND
FOR HALAL FOOD

Halal food plays a significant role in the lives of Muslims and has gained recognition and popularity worldwide. The term "Halal" refers to food and beverages that are permissible according to Islamic dietary laws. The process of making food Halal involves several key factors, including sourcing ingredients from Halal-certified suppliers, ensuring proper handling and preparation methods, and following specific guidelines for slaughtering animals. Businesses that obtain a Halal certification ensure that the entire supply chain, from farm to table, adheres to these principles, providing consumers with confidence in the authenticity and compliance of the food they consume.

The demand for Halal food is on the rise, driven by the growing Muslim population and increased awareness among non-Muslim consumers seeking quality, ethically sourced products. According to a report by the State of the Global Islamic Economy, the global Halal food market is projected to reach $2.1 trillion by 2024. This exponential growth presents significant opportunities for businesses to tap into this lucrative market by becoming Halal certified through reputable organizations such as ICHS.
Consuming Halal food offers numerous benefits beyond religious observance. Halal practices prioritize cleanliness, animal welfare, and hygienic preparation methods, which contribute to food safety and quality. Halal-certified products often undergo rigorous inspections, ensuring compliance with stringent standards. Additionally, Halal food is free from prohibited substances, such as alcohol and pork, and does not contain any hidden ingredients that may compromise dietary restrictions. This makes Halal food suitable for diverse consumer groups, including Muslims, individuals with specific dietary preferences, and those seeking transparency in their food choices.
For businesses, obtaining Halal certification through CHS can be advantageous. Halal certification not only enhances market access to Muslim consumers but also extends reach to non-Muslim markets where Halal food is increasingly sought after. It demonstrates a commitment to meeting strict quality and ethical standards, building trust and loyalty among consumers. Moreover, becoming Halal certified allows businesses to participate in Halal trade exhibitions and events, opening doors to networking opportunities, collaborations, and global market expansion. By aligning with Halal principles and obtaining certification from reputable bodies like ICHS, businesses can position themselves as leaders in the Halal food industry, catering to a growing consumer base and fostering long-term success.
