This population relies on halal ingredients to comply with Islamic dietary laws and principles, ensuring that the food and products they consume meet established halal standards. For instance, in April 2023, according to Morocco World News (MWN), a Morocco-based news agency, the global Muslim population was projected to reach nearly 3 billion by 2060. Therefore, the growing Muslim population is driving the growth of the halal ingredients market.

Major companies operating in the halal ingredients market are concentrating on the development of innovative solutions, such as low- and zero-sugar taste solutions, to address rising demand for healthier, natural, and sustainably sourced food products. Low- and zero-sugar taste solutions are designed to replicate the sweetness and mouthfeel of conventional sugar while reducing calories and minimizing undesirable aftertastes, making them suitable for consumers seeking sugar reduction without sacrificing flavor. For example, in June 2023, Kerry Group plc, an Ireland-based public food ingredients company, launched Tastesense Advanced, a novel taste solution compatible with halal, kosher, vegan, and non-GMO applications. Tastesense Advanced blends plant-derived components to deliver sugar-like sweetness beyond 3° Brix sucrose equivalence, enhance mouthfeel, optimize flavor, and significantly reduce off-notes. In addition, the solution supports sustainability by lowering carbon emissions by 30% and reducing water usage by 45%, while enabling food manufacturers to develop healthier and better-tasting products across a wide range of low- and no-sugar food and beverage applications.
