The halal industry is a dynamic economic force that extends far beyond food, encompassing cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, finance, logistics, and tourism. Rooted in the ethical and spiritual values of 1.8 billion Muslims worldwide, halal products and services are increasingly embraced by conscious consumers of all backgrounds. Surpassing $3 trillion in value, the industry is reshaping markets and creating vast opportunities.
At the forefront of this movement, the Malaysian Journal of Halal Research (MJHR) provides data-driven insights, policy analysis, and market trends to businesses, investors, and policymakers, while bridging knowledge gaps through innovations in supply chains and halal certification standards. As halal moves into the mainstream, the question is no longer whether to engage—but how—to harness this transformative growth. Discover. Innovate. Lead. The future of halal is here.
