The global halal cosmetics market size was valued at USD 30.21 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 83.76 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 12% from 2022 to 2030. Halal cosmetics are products that follow religious rites, observe sharia law, and do not contain ingredients derived from pigs, blood, alcohol, reptiles, and insects, among others. The halal cosmetics market’s most prominent driver is the surging demand for halal products by the growing Islamic population. Halal cosmetic is an emerging market, gaining popularity in the last few years due to the rising Muslim population and surging awareness regarding skincare and product safety. These products are also gaining traction among non-Muslim customers for its natural, environmentally friendly, and green ingredients. Stringent regulations guarding the halal cosmetics industries in terms of the formulation of these products have set a benchmark for quality assurance. Some of the halal compliances of cosmetics and personal care products include ‘MS 2200-1:2008’ for cosmetic and personal care and ‘MS 2200-2:2013’ for the use of animal bone, skin, and hair.
The halal cosmetics market is in its nascent stage, with global players adopting aggressive strategies to develop and introduce halal-certified products in their product portfolio. The halal logo is considered as an indication of safety and product quality assurance, further driving the market growth. The prominent players in the cosmetic market are collaborating with players in the field of vegan and organic product manufacturing to expand their customer base and secure maximum certifications. Some of the governing bodies providing Halal Certification in Southeast Asian Countries include Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM), Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI), and Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS). However, the lack of recognized global halal compliance certification and the standard process might hamper the market growth to a certain extent.
