Halal market expands rapidly, set to hit $12 trillion by 2030

By Syed Ali Mujtaba*

The global halal economy is experiencing unprecedented growth, with projections estimating its worth at $12 trillion by 2030. Over the past nine years, the industry has expanded at a remarkable pace, says Mohamed Jinna, founder and director of Halal India, a private limited company.

Jinna highlights the phenomenal growth of the halal sector, noting that it initially stood at $1 trillion. However, due to rigorous efforts in halal certification and accreditation, the market has surged to a valuation of $8 trillion. Looking ahead, it is expected to reach an astounding $12 trillion within the next five years.

While halal products have traditionally catered to Muslim consumers, the industry has gained increasing traction among non-Muslims as well, drawn by its reputation for quality, safety, and reliability.

Jinna’s vision for Halal India extends beyond food certification—it embodies a holistic approach to life. He firmly believes that halal is not merely about dietary practices but a comprehensive philosophy that promotes ethical consumerism and well-being.

His commitment to the halal movement remains steadfast, driven by a passion to foster a world where access to safe, healthy, and nutritious food is universal. For Jinna, halal principles serve as a foundation for global unity and harmony.

"Let’s unite in promoting the principles of halal, which not only enhance our quality of life but also bring us together as a global community," Jinna often emphasizes.

As a visionary leader, he continues to inspire a new generation to join his noble mission of building an inclusive and peaceful world. His work at Halal India stands as a testament to his dedication and transformative vision.
