China Halal Food & Beverages Market Overview, 2029

In China, halal foods and drinks follow Islamic dietary regulations, emphasizing meat from animals killed in accordance with Islamic law and avoiding alcohol and pork. China has a sizable Muslim minority, especially in areas like Xinjiang and Ningxia, despite the country's non-Muslim majority. Due to this, there is a growing demand for halal food, and many eateries and food vendors now provide halal options. From low-cost lodging to opulent international chains, China boasts a diversified hotel culture. Although not all hotels provide halal cuisine, many do so in order to accommodate Muslim and other foreign guests by offering halal menus or collaborating with local halal eateries.

According to the research report "China Halal Food & Beverages Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the China Halal Food & Beverages market is anticipated to grow at more than 6.65% CAGR from 2024 to 2029. The halal food and beverage sector in China is witnessing remarkable expansion. This growth can be largely attributed to the country's considerable Muslim demographic, especially in areas such as Xinjiang and Ningxia. Furthermore, rising disposable incomes and an expanding middle class have contributed to the heightened demand for premium, halal-certified products. Both Muslim and non-Muslim consumers in China are increasingly acknowledging the advantages of halal food, which is often linked to enhanced food safety, hygiene standards, and ethical production practices. In addition, governmental efforts to foster halal tourism and the development of the halal industry are further propelling this market's growth. Consequently, China is positioning itself as a significant contender in the global halal food and beverage landscape.

The halal food and beverage sector in China is a dynamic and varied industry, designed to meet the specific dietary needs and preferences of the Muslim population within the country. At the forefront of this sector is the halal meat, poultry, and seafood category, which commands a leading position across all product types. This category includes a wide selection of high-quality, ethically sourced animal proteins that are prepared in strict accordance with Islamic dietary laws, ensuring they are pure, wholesome, and suitable for consumption. In addition to the primary meat products, the halal food market in China also features a range of other important categories, including halal dairy products that provide nutritious options, as well as halal fruits and vegetables, halal grains, and a variety of specialized beverages. Each of these categories addresses the diverse culinary preferences and nutritional requirements of the Muslim community, thereby enhancing the overall growth and diversification of the halal food and beverage landscape in China. With an increasing demand for halal-certified products and a strong commitment to quality and authenticity, the various segments within this market are continually evolving and expanding, establishing China as a key player in halal food and beverage innovation and consumption.

The Halal food and beverage market in China is divided into several sales channels, primarily consisting of hypermarkets/supermarkets, traditional retail outlets, online platforms, and other avenues. At present, the hypermarket/supermarket and traditional retail segments are the leading contributors to the market, collectively accounting for a significant portion of Halal product sales throughout the nation. Hypermarkets and supermarkets have become the preferred shopping locations for numerous Chinese consumers in search of Halal-certified food and drink, thanks to their extensive selections, competitive pricing, and accessible locations. These large-scale retailers offer a wide variety of Halal-compliant products, including staple foods, prepared meals, and beverages, catering to the preferences of the growing Muslim population in China. In addition, traditional retail channels, which include independent grocers, specialized Halal stores, and wet markets, play an essential role in the distribution of Halal products, particularly in localized areas where consumer trust in familiar establishments is strong. While the online segment currently holds a smaller share of the overall Halal food and beverage market, e-commerce platforms are rapidly gaining ground as consumers increasingly seek the convenience and variety that online shopping provides.

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.
