India Halal Food Market to Grow with a CAGR of 10.92% through 2031F

The India Halal Food Market is driven by factors such as rising large Muslim population, rising awareness of halal hygiene and quality and growing e-commerce access.

According to TechSci Research report, “India Halal Food Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2021-2031F”, the India Halal Food Market was valued at USD 297.66 Million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 554.35 Million by 2031 with a CAGR of 10.92% during the forecast period. The India halal food market is undergoing significant transformation, fueled by a combination of religious adherence, rising consumer awareness, and broader market globalization. With one of the world’s largest Muslim populations, India provides a natural consumer base for halal food products. However, the market is not restricted to religious consumers alone. A growing segment of non-Muslim Indians is also embracing halal-certified products due to their association with hygiene, ethical sourcing, and food safety. This widening appeal is reshaping how manufacturers, retailers, and policymakers perceive the market’s scope and potential. The halal label, once seen strictly through a religious lens, is now evolving into a mainstream assurance of quality and trust.

As awareness around food safety, cleanliness, and traceability deepens, halal-certified products are gaining traction for their perceived assurance of higher standards. Halal certification involves strict regulations for sourcing, processing, and distribution, which often translates into better hygiene practices and more transparent supply chains. In a market like India, where concerns around food adulteration and contamination are high, the halal certification is being viewed as a mark of credibility. This is especially true among urban and millennial consumers, who are more informed and discerning about what they eat. Moreover, consumers are now willing to pay a premium for products that meet both religious and ethical standards, further reinforcing the demand.

Digitalization and the rapid expansion of e-commerce have also played a transformative role in boosting the halal food market in India. Online platforms such as Amazon, BigBasket, and niche halal-focused e-retailers are enabling easier access to certified products, especially in urban and semi-urban areas. These platforms not only provide convenience but also allow consumers to check certification details, read reviews, and make informed purchasing decisions. The shift to online shopping, which accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, has brought halal-certified brands closer to their target audiences and created opportunities for direct-to-consumer engagement.

The India Halal Food Market is segmented into product type, type, distribution channel and region.

Based on distribution channel, offline segment remains the dominating distribution channel in India’s halal food market due to deep-rooted consumer habits, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where traditional purchasing behavior prevails. Local butcher shops, meat markets, and neighborhood grocery stores continue to be the primary sources for halal-certified products, offering direct trust, personal relationships, and immediate access. Additionally, many consumers prefer physically inspecting fresh meat and other perishable items before buying. Organized retail outlets like supermarkets and hypermarkets are also expanding their halal-certified offerings, contributing to offline dominance. Despite the growth of e-commerce, the offline segment benefits from established infrastructure, customer familiarity, and cultural buying practices, ensuring its continued lead in the distribution of halal food in India.

Based on region, South India has emerged as the fastest-growing region in India's halal food market, thanks to its strong economic performance, rising urbanization, and diversification of consumer preferences. With states like Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Telangana contributing around 30% of India’s GDP, the region boasts a rapidly expanding middle class that is increasingly health-conscious and quality-focused. Enhanced infrastructure—such as cold-chain logistics, modern retail outlets, and digital grocery platforms—has improved market access for halal-certified products. Additionally, South India’s vibrant export hubs and robust food-processing capabilities align well with rising demand for ethically sourced, certified food. Urban millennials, in particular, are driving growth by seeking clean-label, traceable halal offerings. Combined with government support for standardized certification under the i‑CAS Halal scheme, this convergence of economic, infrastructural, and consumer trends is accelerating halal food adoption in South India.
