Market Growth Factors

Muslim population growth is seen to be increasing demand for halal food products in Europe. The Pew Research Center estimates Muslims as a percentage of the European population is expected to grow from 6% in 2010 to 8% in 2030, from 44.1 million to 58.2 million Muslims in Europe. This increase in population will increase demand for halal food. Second, the ethical and health aspects attributed to halal food and its consumption have encouraged demand from non-Muslim consumers, and supermarkets, restaurants, and manufacturers have increasingly carried halal products in response to this growing demand.

Regulatory frameworks are also a major driver in EU markets. France has the largest Muslim population in Western Europe, at 5.5 million, or over 8% of the population. The largest halal market is in France, where the halal food market totals 4.5 billion euros, out of the 5.5 billion euros halal market. Institutions supported by the government, like Britain's Halal Monitoring Committee (HMC), can improve consumer confidence. They also standardize certification processes, increase the halal market and reduce risk which in turn helps halal-certified products to expand their market at home and abroad.

Germany's halal food market is increasing through higher birth rates and growing Muslim immigration. A 2010 survey of 772 Muslims in Germany found that 94% prefer halal food and 59% would be willing to pay more for halal-certified products. German manufacturers are answering this by adding products to their halal product portfolio thanks to a higher rate of certification and growing knowledge and understanding of halal in Germany. Germany's central position in Europe also helps the country to be a halal hub.
