It is estimated that Muslims worldwide spent USD2.02 trillion in 2019 across the Halal food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, fashion, travel and media/recreation sectors. Halal spend is forecasted to reach USD2.4 trillion by 2024 at a 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1%. In addition, Islamic finance assets were estimated to have reached USD2.88 trillion globally in 2019. The growth of the global Islamic economy presents businesses with tremendous opportunities for growth.
