UK Halal Food Market

UK Halal Food Market Overview:

The UK halal food market size reached USD 89.52 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 193.47 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.94% during 2025-2033. The market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing demand for halal-certified products from diverse consumer groups, including Muslim population and non-Muslim consumers seeking ethical food options. The market also benefits from expanding distribution channels, such as supermarkets and online platforms. As consumer awareness and preference for Halal products rise, the UK halal food market share is expected to continue growing steadily in the coming years.

UK Halal Food Market Trends:

Growth of Online Retail

The proliferation of online sites and e-commerce channels is at the forefront of the expansion of the UK Halal food market. Since more and more people are turning to online shopping for convenience, more Halal food products are available, especially for those in areas where local stores might have limited Halal options. Specialized platforms and online retailers are also making available a huge range of Halal-certified food items such as groceries, snacks, and ready-to-eat food that is accessible at the touch of a button. Subscription services and home delivery have also lent themselves to convenience on the part of the consumer. Moreover, with an increase in demand for Halal food, online platforms keep on adding more variety to their products to suit the needs of a wide audience. This movement towards e-commerce is propelling sales while positively impacting the overall UK Halal food market growth, further democratizing access to such items. For instance, In October 2024, Totalee Halal launched its innovative food delivery app at the Global Peace and Unity Festival on October 19 in London, featuring actor Imran Abbas. The event features 500 complimentary tickets and highlights a new initiative supporting women entrepreneurs in the food industry in collaboration with the Shahid Afridi Foundation.

Product Diversification

Product diversification is one of the major trends within the UK Halal food sector, where food manufacturers and retailers launch progressively more Halal-certified products. These range from ready-to-eat meals, snacks, drinks, to even plant-based products, appealing to a wide variety of consumer tastes. With busy lifestyles on the up, there's an expanding need for convenient, Halal-certified ready meals that provide quality and convenience. For instance, in June 2023, Golden Acre Foods launched Jaldee Eats, a new halal brand featuring four microwaveable meal pots and Turkey Deli Sticks. Targeted at busy 18 to 35-year-olds, the products will debut in 158 Tesco stores mid-June, addressing the demand for convenient halal food options. Apart from the conventional Halal products, there is also a boom in new products, such as Halal-certified foods like snack foods, soft drinks, and plant-based meat substitutes, which appeal to health-and-environment-conscious customers. Diversification into these new product lines means the market is able to appeal to a wider customer base outside the Muslim community, thus further growing its popularity. Therefore, the trend supports the ongoing growth and development of the UK halal food market, fulfilling changing consumer preferences and needs.
