In the past few years, the Halal market has grown into a large market. In the past five years, only the Southeast Asian region, countries like Singapore and Malaysia has experienced a growth rate of 19% and 18 % respectively. It is shocking that in countries without a numerous Muslim majority the growth rate is unacceptable. For example, the Halal Market in South Africa has a growth rate of 96%. Isn't it shocking to see that how the Halal industries which were considered to be a niche industry has turned the tables round by increase in their business and profitability?

According to “the Office for National Statistics”, the Halal Industries does not only limits to Halal food and Beverages but also includes and expands its boundaries to Halal lifestyle , Halal cosmetics , Halal tourism , Halal pharmaceuticals and much more . It is assumed that in the next 10 years the Muslim will extend and expand all its niche Halal markets which are help in accelerating the demand for such Halal products in the market which will enable the Halal business to prosper.

One of the reasons for increase in the demand for Halal product is the Muslim population around the globe. One of the reason for the increase of Muslim population over the world is the migration of Muslim Diaspora communities which enables the purchasing power in the hands of Muslims and makes everyone aware of Halal industries and their product as every Muslim will always find ways to follow the Islamic rules and principles and this can also be seen in the countries like United Kingdom. According to 2011 United Kingdom reports, the Office of National Statistics stated that the Muslim population in UK was almost 2,706,066 which was around 4.5% of the total population. But according to recent studies this number has increased significantly. According to International Business Times , in United Kingdom , the number of people practicing Islamic religion has exceed 3 million with more than half of them were born in abroad. Among the high birthrates between demographic, some of the neighborhoods of London consist of 50% of Muslim majority.

In addition to this, the demand for Halal products has increased with the rising support and standards to animal welfare and healthy selections. The halal products go through various different checks to find if the Halal produce made does include animal derived ingredients or others and to find out that the halal product comes out of healthy and organic source.


The Halal Trade and economy has held its promise around the globe. The halal business has extended its boundaries also in countries where there is a lack of Muslim population. There are many new industries that are looking forward to join this vastly accepted Halal business from all over the world.
