A study conducted reveals that the global Halal market is expected to jump nine-fold to USD10 trillion from the current level of USD1 trillion by 2030 with the increase in the global Muslim population, the economic development of Muslim countries and more demand from new markets in Europe, Japan, India and China as the key driving factors.
