Growing demand for halal foods driven by increasing Muslim population in Europe.

Market Growth Factors

Further growth of the Europe halal food market can be expected with the growth of the Muslim population in Europe. The Pew Research Center estimates the Muslim population in Europe will increase to 58.2 million by 2030 from 44.1 million in 2010. As the population grows, people demand foods under Islamic dietary requirements so supermarkets, restaurants, and manufacturers offer them more often to meet the increasing demands on halal foods.

Halal certification is also common in the region. France contains the most Muslims in Western Europe with a count near 5.5 million. Most halal certificates are granted in France. The country employs inspections ensuring compliance with Islamic law, while the United Kingdom-based Halal Monitoring Committee (HMC) likewise supports standardization and the growth of halal products, lending a seal of approval to the marketplace and suggesting more consumption and export opportunities.

However, the socio-economic transformation of economies like Germany is another driver for the future global halal market, with the Muslim population increasing due to high birth rate and immigration. Surveys show that Germans who follow Islam prefer halal-certified products. 94% of Muslims in Germany preferred halal and 59% are willing to pay a premium to ensure this. As a result, companies in Germany are expanding their halal product range, and certification has improved and become more common.
