The absence of a uniform halal standard across countries makes it challenging for vendors to get their products halal certified. Besides, the market is fragmented in nature, which makes it further challenging for multiple vendors to operate in different countries. In the market, there is also a need for an oversight on the halal food industry considering the halal meat scandals in Europe and North America regions.

Processed food & beverages dominated the market in 2016 and are expected to maintain its leading position over the forecast period as well. Food & beverages segment was followed by bakery products segments and confectionery segments. Over the forecast period, bakery products segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% with an increasing demand for ready to eat and packaged bakery products such as cookies, doughnuts, savory pastries, pretzels, biscuits, and cakes.

The market is fragmented with the presence of many international and domestic vendors. Vendors in the market are focusing on product quality and geographical expansion globally. Vendors are also registering themselves with halal certification organizations.

Some of the leading players operating in the halal food market are Al Islami Foods, QL Foods, Saffron Road Food, Dagang Halal, Janan Meat, Kawan Foods, Cargill, Prima Agri-Products, Nestle and Cleone Foods. Over the past few years, fast food chains such as KFC and McDonalds have started providing halal certified products to widen their customer base.
