Pakistan has a very large opportunity in the halal market

Delegates at the 3rd International Halal Conference and Expo in Pakistan believe that there is much room for Pakistan to grow in the halal market, the Nation has reported on May 24. According to the article, Pakistan’s share of the estimated US$3 trillion halal market is near zero currently.

Delegates also shared that Pakistan ranks 18th in the production of halal meat, producing nearly 3% of global halal meat volumes, which are worth as much as $300 billion.  


The halal market covers food as well as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, healthcare, toiletries and interest-free banking, the Nation said.
