H Social Sciences (General) HC Economic History and Conditions The global industry as a whole is estimated to worth around USD2.3 trillion (excluding Islamic finance) a year.

The global halal market of 2.18 billion Muslims is no longer confined Muslims only.

This paper attempts to examine the current realities of the global halal industry by observing factors determining such increasing demand for Halal industry, in addition to opportunities that are offered from on recent global development in the market. The word halal is rooted from an Arabic word which means ‘permissible’ or ‘lawful’ according to the Islamic rules and regulations. The concept of halal is not bound to food-related items only but to multiple other aspects such as products, which can be further categorized into various groups, for instance, cosmetics, self-care, health, tourism and services.

Meanwhile, the Muslim average per capita income (GDP) has risen from USD$1763 to USD$6530 from 1993 to 2010.

description The global industry as a whole is estimated to worth around USD2.3 trillion (excluding Islamic finance) a year. It is now one of the fastest growing markets. The global market growth is estimated to reach at an annual rate of 20 percent per annum. The global halal market of 2.18 billion Muslims is no longer confined Muslims only. Similarly, the Halal industry is no longer confined to food and food-related products, but rather to include pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, health products, toiletries and medical devices as well as service sector components such as logistics, marketing, print and electronic media, packaging, branding, and financing.
