Publisher's Synopsis
The global Halal market has grown as the Muslim population continues to rise. Several factors related to supply and demand can fuel the growth of the Halal industry. Although it began with food and beverage, the halal industry has expanded to meet Muslims demands, comprising many segments like Islamic finance and banking, cosmetics, pharmacy, dietary supplements, personal care, tourism, travel and hospitality, fashion, media, and recreation. However, there are several fundamental challenges that persist concerning the Halal industry and business ecosystem, including scarcity of locally sourced Halal raw materials, an un-integrated value chain, and domestic and foreign investment challenges. As a result, fostering partnerships among small and medium enterprises along the Halal value chain is imperative. Exploring the Halal Industry and Its Business Ecosystem Prospects navigates the evolving landscape of the Halal industry and business ecosystem, providing a roadmap for integrating sustainable practices in a competitive market. It shows how actionable strategies can foster further economic development. Covering topics such as consumption patterns, religiosity, and genetic engineering, this book is an excellent resource for business owners, manufacturers, logistics experts, policymakers, government officials, researchers, academicians, and more.
