WHILE THERE an emerging market worldwide, specifically developed in cosmopolitan societies of Europe and Southeast Asian countries to provide niche services and products in compliance with the Shariah’s dietary and other related norms that are strictly followed by most of Muslim population. The word Halal originally comes from the Arabic language and is used for every lawful object and action in the view of Islamic laws. In its literally broad meaning, it applies to all spheres of life activities including food, cloth, finance, personal care, etc. But in common terminology, its meanings are narrowed down for food and meat products. Products that are free from pork and alcohol, and meat products made according to Muslim law are called Halal. Halal markets have grown from Halal food to new areas like Halal cosmetics, Halal logistics, Halal fashion and Muslim-friendly tour and travel services. Islamic finance, relatively a mature interest-free market that caters to the Muslim consumer, has estimated the total assets of Shariah-compliant products across the world around $951 billion at the end of 2008, up 25 per cent from $758 billion in 2007. It was merely about $150 billion in the mid 1990s.
India is home to more than 175 million Muslims and has the third-largest community of Muslim consumers in the world after Indonesia and Pakistan. But its market in regard to the choices of Halal-endorsed products among mainstream brands is still highly untapped. According to estimates by the Pew Research group, Muslim population in India is projected to increase from 177.3 million in 2010 to 236.2 million in 2030. And the share of Muslims in India’s population is expected to increase from 14.6% in 2010 to 15.9% in 2030.
