Swiss companies profit from halal market
2025-05-15
Swiss and European food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics companies must ensure their products comply with Halal regulations if they want to capture a share of the $1 trillion global Halal market. Obtaining Halal certification can help companies meet these challenges.
The global halal market is expanding: according to information provided by certification service companies, halal food is expected to reach CHF 710 billion, and pharmaceuticals are expected to reach CHF 130 billion (2013 data). These companies recognize the potential market and the rapidly growing Muslim population, which is expected to reach 1 billion well-educated and well-off Muslims by 2050. Based on these raw materials, they are increasing investment and technology in the Muslim market.
Currently, Nestlé has 456 factories around the world that have halal food certification, and the halal market accounts for 5% of sales, worth CHF5.3 billion.
