The global Halal cosmetics market is growing - how should enterprises seize the opportunity?
Lead:
At a session titled "Mandatory Halal 2026: Practical Strategies for the Cosmetics Industry," held in cooperation with LPH LPPOM, the Chief Secretary of Indonesia''s Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) emphasized that Halal certification of cosmetics not only protects consumers but also increases product competitiveness in a global market where demand for Halal cosmetics continues to grow. Cosmetics industry participants need to prepare in advance as they face Indonesia''s Halal certification obligation in October 2026.
He revealed that consumer Halal awareness, including for cosmetics, is growing day by day. Products that fail to comply with Indonesia''s mandatory Halal certification obligation will face severe sanctions and will ultimately be abandoned by consumers.
Halal Beauty: An Unstoppable Rise
Data shows that the valuation of the global Halal cosmetics market is impressive. This enormous figure is not merely a static data point - it is projected to surge significantly to USD 126.94 billion by 2030. This economic indicator clearly underscores the importance of the booming Halal cosmetics market. Undoubtedly, consumer preference for carefully formulated and Halal-certified cosmetics is continuously escalating. This rising demand is driven by multiple factors, including growth of the Halal consumer population, socioeconomic, and ethical considerations.
Secondly, for a growing number of consumers, the essence of "Halal" goes beyond purely religious belief. It is intrinsically linked to ethical sourcing, ingredient purity, and a clear commitment to excluding potentially harmful substances, thereby resonating strongly with a broader audience who prioritize the cleanliness, transparency, and trustworthiness of beauty products. This also aligns with the broader global trend of conscious consumerism and the demand for products that are not only effective but also ethically produced.
The Indispensable Role of Halal Certification Bodies
Navigating the complex process of cosmetics Halal certification requires the expertise and authoritative guidance of a certification team. As a pioneer that was among the first in China to carry out international kosher certification - Halal certification and Kosher certification - SINOQUAL''s rich certification experience can not only help enterprises easily obtain certificates, but also provide comprehensive services such as system training, documentation standards, and on-site audit support to meet certification standards. Since launching its Indonesia BPJPH Halal certification service in 2022, SINOQUAL has assisted hundreds of enterprises in obtaining this certification, and in recent years has helped numerous cosmetics enterprises efficiently enter the Indonesian Halal market.
Recently, the cosmetics factories SINOQUAL works with - Nuoyan Bioengineering (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. and Pengshi (Huizhou) Industrial Development Co., Ltd. - completed the on-site audit for official Indonesian Halal certification. In cosmetics certification, the large number of products and the wide range of material suppliers involved become key challenges for enterprises. Each product submitted for certification must comply with Halal standards throughout the entire manufacturing process, from raw materials to production technology. This means that during production, storage, and packaging, certified products must avoid cross-contamination with non-Halal substances in order to ultimately pass the audit and obtain the Halal certificate.
In helping enterprises enter the international Halal market, SINOQUAL serves as an important bridge, mobilizing more than a decade of certification experience and resources to help enterprises build a complete Halal production system, fully understand the Halal standards of their export markets, and seamlessly connect Halal-certified beauty products with international trade. SINOQUAL''s full involvement also highlights the increasingly interconnected nature of the global Halal cosmetics market. For enterprises, obtaining Halal certificates early and proactively is the way to achieve long-term benefits in the face of a growing global Halal market.
