The Global Halal Meat Market size is valued at around USD 289 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 371 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 5.12% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. Factors contributing to the market growth include expansion of international trade & global supply chains, growing halal food retail infrastructure, premiumization of halal meat products, increasing awareness of halal foods among non-Muslim consumers, and rising demand in non-traditional markets, etc.

The premiumization of halal meat products, such as organic halal, free-range halal poultry, and ready-to-eat halal meat meals, has been contributing as one of the key drivers for the halal meat industry. This is primarily driven by the growing consumer need for healthier, more sustainable, and convenient food options, thus facilitating high-quality meat product offerings, a significant contributor to the market growth & expansion. Moreover, the government guidance and certification support emerge as an opportunity for the halal meat market. This is fundamentally driven by the deployment of stringent regulatory frameworks along with halal certification programs, which help in building consumer trust and ensuring the authentic nature of the product.

Furthermore, the growing adoption of advanced traceability technologies, such as blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI), within the supply chain, has emerged as one of the key trends for the Halal Meat Market. However, the high operational costs due to stringent regulations pose a major challenge to further market growth & expansion, further states the research report, “Global Halal Meat Market Analysis, 2025.”
