United Kingdom Halal Food & Beverages Market Overview, 2029

Halal food and beverages adhere to Islamic dietary laws, requiring animals to be slaughtered in a specific way and excluding pork and alcohol. In the UK, halal options are widely available, particularly in major cities with significant Muslim populations. While the UK's non-Muslim population is larger, the Muslim community is growing, influencing the food and hospitality industry. Many restaurants and supermarkets offer halal choices, and some establishments cater exclusively to Muslim customers. The hotel scene in the UK is diverse, ranging from budget accommodations to luxury chains. While not all hotels offer halal food options, many cater to international travelers, including Muslims, by providing halal menus or partnering with nearby halal restaurants.

According to the research report "United Kingdom Halal Food & Beverages Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the United Kingdom Halal Food & Beverages market was valued at more than USD 6.96 Billion in 2023. The halal food and beverage market in the United Kingdom has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by several key factors. The increasing Muslim population, coupled with a growing awareness and acceptance of halal food among non-Muslim consumers, has contributed to this trend. Moreover, the UK's diverse and multicultural society has created a demand for a wider range of halal products, including meat, poultry, dairy, and processed foods. Additionally, the rising health consciousness among consumers, who are seeking natural and ethically sourced food, has further boosted the halal market. As a result, many retailers and food service providers are now offering halal options to cater to this growing demand, leading to a more inclusive and diverse food landscape in the UK.

The United Kingdom's thriving halal food and beverage market is segmented across a diverse array of product categories, each contributing to the industry's overall growth and popularity. Leading the pack is the halal meat, poultry, and seafood segment, which commands a dominant position as consumers increasingly seek out ethically-sourced, religiously-compliant protein options. Beyond the meat aisle, the market also encompasses a robust selection of halal milk and dairy products, catering to the needs of health-conscious shoppers seeking alternatives to conventional dairy. Complementing these core categories are halal-certified fruits, vegetables, grains, and an ever-expanding range of specialty beverage items, reflecting the multifaceted nature of the UK's halal food landscape. This product diversity allows Muslim and non-Muslim consumers alike to incorporate halal-approved goods seamlessly into their daily lives, further driving the segment's remarkable growth trajectory.

The United Kingdom's Halal food and beverage market is segmented by sales channel, with the key categories being hypermarkets/supermarkets, traditional retail outlets, online sales, and other channels. Of these, the hypermarket/supermarket and traditional retail segments are currently dominating the market. Hypermarkets and supermarkets, with their vast product selections and convenient one-stop shopping experiences, have become a preferred destination for many Halal consumers in the UK. These large-format stores are able to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of Halal shoppers, offering a wide array of certified Halal meat, dairy, produce, and packaged goods. Traditional retail channels, such as independent butchers, specialty Halal markets, and corner shops, also continue to play a major role. These establishments often have deep roots in local communities and are trusted sources for authentic, high-quality Halal products. Shoppers who frequent these traditional outlets appreciate the personalized service, expert product knowledge, and connection to their cultural heritage that these retailers provide.

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.
