Europe Halal Foods and Beverages Market – Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2030

Europe Halal Foods and Beverages Market size was estimated at USD 41.31 billion in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, the Europe Halal Foods and Beverages Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.14% reaching a value of USD 62.1 billion by 2030. A prominent driver of the market is the increasing popularity of halal cuisine among both Muslim and non-Muslim consumers. Initially regarded primarily as a religious symbol ensuring food safety and hygiene, halal food has now evolved into a mainstream choice. According to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Muslim population in the United Kingdom reached 3.9 million in 2021, indicating a substantial market for halal products. The meat segment, in particular, is expected to witness significant growth, driven by increasing consumer preference for halal-certified meat items. Also, statistics from the Halal Monitoring Committee in the UK revealed that as of March 2020, approximately 104 million chickens were slaughtered monthly, with 20% (8 million) of them being Halal to meet the rising demand. Responding to this trend, various retailers are strategically marketing halal food and meat products. Major retail chains like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Marks & Spencer, and Waitrose have incorporated halal options across diverse categories such as meat, bakery, confectionery, cereals, and snacks. This trend underscores the mainstream acceptance and commercial viability of halal cuisine in the European market.

Halal Foods and Beverages – Overview

Halal foods and beverages refer to products that are permissible for consumption according to Islamic dietary laws. These laws dictate what is allowed (halal) and what is prohibited (haram) for Muslims to eat and drink. In general, halal foods are those that are prepared, processed, and handled in accordance with Islamic principles, which include specific guidelines regarding the sourcing of ingredients, methods of slaughter for meat, and avoidance of certain substances such as alcohol and pork derivatives. Halal certification ensures that products meet these criteria, providing assurance to consumers, particularly those of the Muslim faith, about the suitability and adherence to religious dietary laws.

Growth Drivers

Growing Muslim Population in Europe

The Europe Halal Food and Beverages Market is experiencing rapid growth due to the growing Muslim population across the region. The United Kingdom is expected to have 6.30% Muslim population. This demographic shift has led to a surge in demand for halal products across Europe. Additionally, Muslim tourism in the region has further bolstered this demand. To meet this growing market, manufacturers and retailers are either locally producing halal items or importing them. Major supermarket chains like Tesco and Carrefour have responded by introducing halal meat sections. With the Muslim population on the rise, the European halal market is set for continuous expansion.

Challenges

Higher Cost of Halal Products than Alternative Products

The higher cost of halal products compared to alternative options acts as a significant constraint on the growth of the Europe Halal Foods and Beverages Market. While there is a growing demand for halal products driven by the increasing Muslim population and Muslim tourism, the premium pricing of these products limits their accessibility to a broader consumer base. This price disparity poses a challenge for manufacturers and retailers in attracting non-Muslim consumers and expanding market penetration. Consequently, the market's growth potential is hindered by the affordability gap between halal and non-halal products in Europe.
