India Halal Food & Beverages Market Overview, 2029

Halal food and beverages in India refer to items that comply with Islamic dietary laws, ensuring they are permissible for Muslims to consume. This includes halal-certified meats (like chicken, beef, and lamb), dairy products, grains, fruits, vegetables, and non-alcoholic beverages such as juices and soft drinks. The Islamic population in India is approximately 200 million, making up about 14% of the total population, while the non-Islamic population constitutes around 86%. The demand for halal products has increased significantly in recent years, leading to a wider availability of halal-certified foods in markets and restaurants across urban areas. The hotel culture in India is becoming increasingly accommodating to Muslim travelers, with many hotels offering halal food options and facilities for prayer. However, the extent of halal offerings can vary widely depending on the location and type of establishment. Some high-end hotels are more likely to provide comprehensive halal services compared to smaller or mid-range hotels.

According to the research report "India Halal Food & Beverages Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the India Halal Food & Beverages market is anticipated to grow at more than 8.62% CAGR from 2024 to 2029. The Halal food and beverage market in India is witnessing significant growth, driven primarily by the increasing Muslim population and a rising awareness of Halal products among consumers. This trend reflects a broader shift in dietary preferences, where more individuals seek products that align with their cultural and religious values. The expansion of the food service sector, including restaurants and catering services offering Halal options, further supports this growth. Additionally, there is a notable diversification in product offerings, catering to various tastes and preferences, which enhance consumer choice. The collaboration between Halal certification bodies and food producers ensures compliance with Halal standards, fostering trust among consumers. As the market continues to evolve, it not only serves the Muslim community but also attracts non-Muslim consumers interested in quality and ethically sourced food, indicating a promising future for Halal products in India.

The halal food and beverage market in India is characterized by various product segments, including halal meat, poultry, seafood, milk and dairy products, fruits and vegetables, grain products, beverages, and other certified items. Halal meat, poultry, and seafood dominate the market, driven by significant demand from the large Muslim population, as well as interest from non-Muslims who perceive halal as synonymous with cleanliness and high quality. This category's prominence is underscored by the increasing availability of halal-certified meat in major urban areas, with enhanced distribution through supermarkets, specialty stores, and online channels. Additionally, halal milk and dairy products are witnessing a rise in popularity as consumers prioritize transparency in sourcing and ethical processing. While fruits and vegetables are naturally permissible, they are marketed with halal certification to reassure consumers of compliance with halal standards during handling and processing. Grain products, such as halal-certified rice, cereals, and breads, are becoming more prevalent as businesses respond to the demand for fully certified pantry essentials. Furthermore, beverage options, including juices, soft drinks, and teas, are emerging to fulfill the need for non-alcoholic, halal-compliant choices.

In the India halal food and beverage market, the sales channel segment includes hypermarkets/supermarkets, traditional retail, online, and others. Hypermarkets, supermarkets, and traditional retail are the leading channels due to their widespread availability and convenience for consumers. These retail formats offer a broad range of halal-certified products such as meats, dairy, beverages, and packaged goods, making them the primary shopping destinations for halal food. Supermarkets and traditional retail stores also benefit from in-person shopping, where consumers can easily find halal options alongside their regular grocery items. While the online channel is growing, especially for niche and specialty products, hypermarkets and supermarkets continue to dominate the market because of their extensive reach and the ability to provide a one-stop shop for halal food.

Covid-19 Impacts:
The rapid spread and disruption of COVID-19 in the food and drink industry, including the Halal food industry, caused disruptions to the food supply chain. Leading global manufacturers saw a reduction in labor and disruption in the import and export of Halal Food. This significantly affected their sales and consumption. In addition, the pandemic caused a slowdown in the demand for meat products. However, the market will be boosted by the growing demand for healthy and safe foods over the forecast period.
