Halal food refers to food prepared according to Islamic dietary laws, which prohibit certain ingredients such as human- or animal-derived substances, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), pork, alcohol, and unhygienic content. Halal food is considered more ethical, safer, and less prone to contamination. It is cleaned, stored, and packaged using halal-certified materials and equipment. Common halal food items include meat, poultry, seafood, fruits and vegetables, dairy products, cereals and grains, oils and fats, and confectionery.
The market growth is primarily driven by the increasing Muslim population adhering to Islamic dietary laws. Stricter regulations requiring halal labeling and certification for food and drinks also contribute to market expansion.
