As for halal products, there are about 1.5 billion consumers, This means that one out of every four human beings consumes halal products. At present, Southeast Asia and the Middle East are the two strong markets for halal products (Riaz, 1998).

清真Halal产品市场在全球拥有大约15亿的消费者，这意味着平均四个人就有一个人选择清真Halal产品。目前，东南亚和中东是两个最大的清真Halal产品消费市场。

As at 2008, the Halal Industry has amounted to USD2.1 trillion. This is certainly an important market to tap into. The Halal industry which also includes Islamic finance is estimated to be worth between USD200 billion to USD500 billion annually, with an annual growth rate forecast of 12% to 15% for the next 10 years.

直到2008年，清真Halal产业已达2万亿美元。这将肯定是一个重要的市场切入点，在接下来的十年里，包括伊斯兰金融产业在内的清真Halal产业预计将保持以12%-15%的年增长率，每年增长200亿美元到500亿美元左右，

Marketing efforts to supply certified halal products throughout the world are gaining momentum. Demands for Halal-certified products have increased exponentially not only because the Muslim consumer base is growing but also due to the fact that Halal products now appeal to a broader spectrum. Halal has become the new benchmark for safety and quality assurance. The growing appeal and benefits of this niche market is significant. Major non-Muslim countries like Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada and the U.S. have already established their local production for the Halal market.

市场正在证明如今遍布全世界的清真Halal产品行业发展迅速。清真Halal认证产品的需求成倍增加，不仅是因为穆斯林消费者基数越来越大，还有清真Halal产品吸引力更广泛的原因。清真Halal已成为安全和质量保证的新标杆。这个市场日益增长的吸引力和好处是显著的。一些主要的非穆斯林国家，像澳大利亚，新西兰，南非，加拿大和美国已经建立了自己的本地生产的清真Halal市场。

The key driving factors for the projected growth of the Halal market are as follow:

对清真Halal市场增长的关键驱动因素如下：

Growth in the Muslim population, the primary market for Halal food

Rising incomes in primary markets for Halal food

穆斯林人口的增长是清真Halal食品市场的主要消费者。

Increasing demand for safe, high quality food in primary markets

市场对对安全、高质量食品的需求增加。

Increasing demand for greater variety in primary markets

Incidents of food marketed as Halal but failing to meet Halal requirements

市场对产品品种的需求增加，对清真Halal食品市场需求增加但是却缺少足够的符合清真Halal条件的产品。

Asia has the largest Muslim population of any given region, but the population has modest per capita incomes, and hence lower total food consumption than other areas. For example, high population countries like India and Pakistan have relatively low consumer incomes and consequently exhibit lower per capita protein consumption. Despite lower income levels, this region has been at the forefront of capitalizing on the growing Halal market.

亚洲拥有最大穆斯林人口聚集地，但人口人均收入较低，因此总的食物消费量比其他地区低。比如说，像巴基斯坦和印度这样的人口多的国家有相对较低的消费收入，因此表现出较低的人均蛋白质消费。尽管收入水平较低，该地区已经因为不断增长的清真Halal市场而成为了经济发达地区。

Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Brunei, China and India have all taken steps to tap into the global Halal market. For instance, the Singapore food industry has also taken a number of steps towards becoming a Halal hub, including an advertising campaign in the Middle East. Malaysia has also designs on becoming an international Halal hub and its government has taken a number of measures to support that objective including the establishment of the Halal Development Corporation. Thailand has moved to become a recognized Halal centre of excellence in science and testing.

马来西亚，泰国，新加坡，文莱，菲律宾，印度和中国已经采取措施进入到全球清真Halal市场。例如，新加坡食品行业也采取了成为Halal中心的措施，包括在中东的一个广告宣传活动。马来西亚政府也采取了一系列的措施包括Halal发展公司建立等来支持发展成为国际Halal中心。泰国已经成为一个公认的出色的科学检验Halal认证中心。

Brunei is currently co-operating with Australian companies in order to combine its role in the Muslim world with Australia's track record in safe, high quality food production. The Chinese Halal industry is growing and is expected to expand its role in the global market. At the moment, the key advantage of the Chinese Halal industry is access to cheap labor. China recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the European Commission (EC) and already has several EC-approved companies ready to export Halal products to European markets. Indian exporters are attempting to gain recognition through the achievement of HACCP, ISO and Halal certification.

文莱目前与澳大利亚公司合作，联合澳大利亚高品质安全的食品生产，提高其在穆斯林世界的作用。中国的清真Halal产业发展，有望扩大其在全球市场中的作用。目前，中国的清真Halal产业的主要优势是廉价的劳动力。中国最近与欧盟签署了一份协议，并且已有一些被欧盟认可的中国工厂生产的清真Halal产品正准备出口到欧洲。印度出口商正试图通过取得HACCP、 ISO和清真Halal认证获得市场认可。

Majils Ugama Islam Singapura (Muis), which is also known as the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore, is the Islamic authority in-charge of Muslim affairs in Singapore.

By 2009, Muis certified more than 2,600 premises and has played an important role as the custodian of Halal food assurance for Singapore's 15% Muslim population.

Halal Certification provides assurance to all Muslim consumers because it fulfills the Syariah law, which is a must for Muslims. To the non-Muslims, Halal products are quality products, simply due to the concept of halalan thoyyiban (Halal and wholesome)

清真Halal认证为所有的穆斯林消费者提供了保证，因为它严格遵守伊斯兰法律。对非穆斯林消费者，清真Halal产品就是质量的保证。

Warees Halal
