Canada Halal Food & Beverages Market Overview, 2029

Halal food and beverages are those that comply with Islamic dietary laws, meaning they are lawful or permitted under Sharia. In Canada, halal products include a variety of meats (like beef, chicken, and lamb), dairy products, fruits, vegetables, grains, and non-alcoholic beverages such as fruit juices and carbonated drinks. The demand for halal food has surged due to the growing Muslim population, which now constitutes about 5% of Canada's total population, approximately 1.7 million people. This increase has led to a significant rise in halal-certified products available in mainstream grocery stores and restaurants, catering to both Muslim and non-Muslim consumers. The hotel culture in Canada is increasingly accommodating, with many establishments offering halal options on their menus and ensuring that their food preparation meets halal standards. This trend reflects a broader acceptance of diverse dietary needs within the hospitality industry, making it easier for Muslim travelers to find suitable dining options while enjoying their stay in Canada.

According to the research report "Canada Halal Food & Beverages Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the Canada Halal Food & Beverages market is expected to reach a market size of more than USD 4.39 Billion by 2029. The halal food and beverage market in Canada is experiencing significant growth, driven by various factors. The increasing Muslim population, alongside a rising interest from non-Muslim consumers seeking halal-certified products for ethical and health reasons, has expanded the market's reach. As awareness of food quality and safety rises, many Canadians are opting for halal options, leading to greater acceptance of halal cuisine across diverse communities. Additionally, the multicultural landscape of Canada fosters an appreciation for different culinary traditions, further boosting demand. The market encompasses a wide array of products, including meats, dairy, snacks, and beverages, with major grocery chains and restaurants increasingly offering halal options. E-commerce platforms have also enhanced accessibility to halal products, making them more available to consumers nationwide. This trend reflects a broader shift towards inclusivity in the food industry and presents substantial opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers to cater to the growing demand for halal-certified items in Canada.

The halal food and beverage market in Canada encompasses a diverse range of product categories, including halal meat, poultry, and seafood; halal dairy products; halal fruits and vegetables; halal grain items; halal beverages; and more. The foremost segment is halal meat, poultry, and seafood, which is propelled by the rising demand from the expanding Muslim community in Canada, as well as from non-Muslim consumers who appreciate halal products for their ethical and hygienic attributes. The growth of this segment is further enhanced by improved accessibility, with numerous supermarkets and specialty retailers now providing a broad selection of halal-certified meats. Additionally, halal dairy products are gaining traction as consumers prioritize sourcing and certification, prompting dairy companies to broaden their halal-certified offerings. Halal fruits and vegetables are also in demand among consumers who seek traceability and assurance against non-halal processing methods. The grain products category, which includes halal-certified cereals, rice, and bread, is witnessing growth as well, appealing to those in search of packaged halal options.

The Canada Halal food and beverage market is segmented by sales channels, including Hyper Market/Supermarket, Traditional Retail, Online, and Others. Leading the market are Hyper Markets/Supermarkets and Traditional Retail, which dominate due to their extensive reach and ability to provide a wide variety of Halal-certified products. These retail formats offer consumers the convenience of one-stop shopping, where they can find a diverse range of Halal items, from meat and poultry to dairy and snacks. Traditional retail outlets also play a crucial role, as they cater to local communities with culturally specific products and personalized service. While online shopping is growing rapidly, driven by the increasing demand for convenience and accessibility, it still trails behind the more established physical retail channels. The presence of specialized Halal sections in larger supermarkets enhances visibility and consumer confidence in Halal products.

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.

Moreover, we perform cross-industry and cross-region analysis of the product, and based on collected primary inputs and using statistical modeling, we start forecasting the market. We follow our forecasting algorithm, which is unique for each product but gives more weight age to primary inputs. At the same time, the content team starts preparing company profiles, market dynamics, market trends, five forces, PEST analysis, etc. Once the data is verified by the data expert, the team (primary team, content team, and data team) together crosscheck the segmentations, validate the market, and then the designing team starts plotting the graphs.
