Globally, there are almost 2 billion of Muslims from the 7.6 billion people in the world. Due to religious reasons, this enormous market of Muslims consciously seeks trusted, halal certified sources for their food, cosmetics, home care, pharmaceuticals, daily products and Syariah complied products to invest in. According to statistics, the global Halal market value that is recorded at approximately 1.4 trillion USD in 2017 is expected to reach 2.6 trillion USD in 2023.
