In the United Arab Emirates, halal food and beverages are defined as those that adhere to Islamic dietary regulations, making them suitable for consumption by Muslims. This category encompasses halal-certified meats, including chicken, beef, and lamb, as well as dairy products, grains, fruits, vegetables, and non-alcoholic drinks such as juices and soft drinks. The UAE is home to a substantial Islamic population, approximately 1.2 million Muslims, which represents around 11% of the overall population, while non-Muslims constitute about 89%, including a significant expatriate demographic. The hospitality sector in the UAE is particularly accommodating, with numerous hotels providing halal food options and following halal hospitality guidelines to serve both Muslim and non-Muslim guests. Many upscale hotels offer comprehensive halal menus and prayer facilities, demonstrating the nation’s dedication to meeting various dietary requirements. Furthermore, the UAE has positioned itself as a center for halal certification, implementing stringent standards to ensure food safety and adherence to Islamic tenets. This emphasis on halal offerings not only benefits the local Muslim population but also draws international visitors in search of halal-friendly dining experiences during their time in the region.
According to the research report "UAE Halal Food & Beverages Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the UAE Halal Food & Beverages market is expected to reach a market size of more than USD 31.27 Billion by 2029. The Halal food and beverage industry in the UAE is experiencing vigorous growth, driven by several factors, including a substantial Muslim population and an increase in consumer awareness of Halal standards. The UAE's strategic position as a global trade and tourism center enhances its attractiveness, drawing both local and international consumers in search of Halal-certified products. Additionally, there is a rising demand for high-quality, ethically sourced food options, which aligns with the growing health consciousness among consumers. The government's efforts to establish internationally recognized certification standards further strengthen the market by ensuring the integrity and reliability of Halal products. Furthermore, the growing acceptance of Halal food among non-Muslim consumers highlights its expanding appeal beyond traditional markets.
What's Inside a Bonafide Research`s industry report?
A Bonafide Research industry report provides in-depth market analysis, trends, competitive insights, and strategic recommendations to help businesses make informed decisions.
In the United Arab Emirates, the halal food and beverage sector encompasses a wide array of product categories, including halal meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, grain items, beverages, and other certified goods. The leading segment within this market is halal meat, poultry, and seafood, which is significantly influenced by the large Muslim population and a strong consumer inclination towards halal-certified meat as a dietary staple. This segment also garners interest from non-Muslim consumers, who appreciate its emphasis on hygiene and ethical sourcing. Halal meat is extensively available in supermarkets, butcheries, and specialty stores, rendering it the most accessible and in-demand category. The market for halal milk and dairy products, including yogurts and cheeses, is experiencing growth as consumers seek guarantees regarding processing and sourcing. While fruits and vegetables are naturally permissible, they often carry halal certification to bolster consumer trust in their handling practices. The grain products segment, which includes halal-certified rice, bread, and pasta, is expanding to cater to households in search of comprehensive halal-certified options. Furthermore, halal beverages, such as juices, soft drinks, and teas, address the demand for halal-compliant and non-alcoholic refreshments, which are essential in a region with specific cultural preferences.
In the UAE's halal food and beverage sector, the sales channels encompass hypermarkets, supermarkets, traditional retail, online shopping, and more. Hypermarkets and supermarkets are at the forefront of this market, primarily due to their extensive reach and convenience for shoppers. These retail formats provide a broad array of halal-certified products, including meat, poultry, beverages, dairy, and various food items, making them the preferred choice for consumers. The benefit of shopping in person at supermarkets and traditional stores allows customers to conveniently access halal products alongside their everyday groceries. While online sales are increasing, especially for niche halal offerings, hypermarkets and supermarkets still hold a significant share of the UAE market due to their wide-ranging availability and one-stop shopping convenience. The continuous growth of halal sections in larger retail outlets and the rising availability of halal products further enhance the market's expansion through these traditional channels, ensuring they retain their leading status.
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.
