What Is Driving the Growth of the Saudi Arabia Halal Food Market?

Religious Necessity & Government Support Driving Market Demand – A deeply rooted Islamic culture combined with government initiatives for halal food are the primary drivers for the Halal Food Industry. As of 2026, more than 93% of the country’s population, or around 34 million, are of the Muslim religion that are governed by Sharia Law, which mandates halal-certified food in daily life, thus creating a sustained demand for halal food items.

Additionally, Saudi Arabia is emerging as one of the global hubs for halal food. Under Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia’s government, through institutions like the Saudi Food & Drug Authority (SFDA) and the Halal Products Development Company (HPDC), is actively promoting the domestic production of halal food to meet the regular demand of consumers. For instance, in 2022, the Public Investment Fund launched Halal Products Development Company (HPDC), to localize the halal food industry and enhance production capacities to position Saudi Arabia as the global leader in the halal food industry, thereby fueling market size & volume.

What Challenges Exist in the Saudi Arabia Halal Food Market?

Saudi Arabia Halal Food Market Challenge:

High Operational Costs & Limited Skilled Workforce – High operational and production costs of halal food is one of the primary challenges for the Saudi Arabia Halal Food Market. This is primarily driven by a combination of factors, such as heavy reliance on imported raw materials, energy-demanding production processes, and stringent halal certification requirements, leading to increased production expenses. For instance, in 2023, Saudi Arabia imported frozen boneless bovine meat of around USD339.15 million, fresh or chilled boneless bovine meat accounting for USD259.79 million, and intermediate food products of more than 2.5 billion. These elevated costs are excessively affecting the small and medium businesses from expanding their operations in this industry.

Moreover, the lack of skilled & experienced professionals in halal compliance, food processing technologies, and international standards further hampers the production efficiency and inhibits business growth & expansion. This is due to the lack of specialized training and education programs focused on halal compliance, food safety, and processing technologies, which limits the availability of a skilled workforce. Thus, this combination of factors is hindering the smooth growth trajectory of the Saudi Arabian Halal Food Industry.
