Frequently Asked Question
About Ⓗ® Halal Certificate
Q1. What is Halal?
A1. The literal translation from Arabic, much like the Hebrew word “kosher,” means “fit for consumption” or “permissible” (“Halal”). Halal means living a healthy, wholesome, quality and ethical lifestyle. The opposite of Halal is “haram,” meaning not permitted or acceptable for consumption, including because it is contrary to these values.
Q2. Why Certify Halal?
A2. Halal certification indicates to Islamic and other lifestyle-conscious consumers that products have been assessed for permissibility and have been found to meet all Circle H practice standards. The review also includes evaluation for accuracy in ingredients and integrity of manufacturing, production, handling, storage, cleanliness, safety, and avoidance of contamination and adulteration.
Q3. What Needs Halal Certification?
A3. Halal lifestyle extends to Eight (8) economic categories (“Lifestyle Sectors”): food & beverage; finance and insurance; travel & tourism, fashion, media & entertainment, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and healthcare.
Q4. How Large ($$) is the Halal Addressable Market?
A4. The total addressable international market for Halal products and services, across all 8 Lifestyle Sectors, is projected to be approximately $10 Trillion by 2030, serving over 2 billion Muslims and many more lifestyle-conscious consumers. The market segments as follows: up to $2 Trillion for food & beverage, $6 Trillion for finance and insurance, $308 Billion for travel & tourism, $397 Billion fashion, $297 Billion for media & entertainment, $302 Billion for pharmaceuticals, $87 Billion for cosmetics, and $43 Billion for healthcare. In the US alone, the 2024 total addressable Halal market is estimated at $28 Billion, serving 4.5 million Muslims residents and millions more visitors, students and lifestyle-conscious consumers.
By comparison, the entire world kosher market was estimated at only $42 Billion in 2022, reaching $67 Billion by 2030. The US represents about 20% of this market – $8.5 Billion today and 13.5 Billion by 2030.
Q5. Why Certify with Circle H?
A5. Circle H is the only Halal certifier in the world to have issued practice standards and provide globally recognized, trusted and respected certification services across all 8 Lifestyle Sectors. Circle H certification standards and branding are based on the only global body of authorities followed internationally by 95% of almost 2 billion Muslims, and many more who are lifestyle-conscious. Circle H is registered and approved (for governmental, regulatory and religious purposes, including import and export) almost everywhere on the planet.
Q6. What are the unique features and benefits of certifying Halal with Circle H?
A6. Circle H Halal Certification Features and Benefits include:
• Selling to a large, underserved demographic seeking more choice and better prices by gaining access to your branded and private label goods (don’t confuse lack of access with lack of demand; US Halal lifestyle consumers alone make up nearly half of the entire global kosher market, but with access to far fewer certified products)
• Expanding your business in the same channels you already target (why not keep doing what you do best but reach many more new customers simply by welcoming them to your products - $28 Billion addressable US market and $10 Trillion worldwide?)
• Easy, familiar, transparent certification process (very similar to kosher and other certifications. And in many cases inspection can be done by live video walk-through)
• Responsive staff and competitive fees help set the stage for a substantial return on investment
• One and Done- your Circle H certification is good wherever your products will be sold in the US and virtually worldwide (like a global Halal passport – no need for multiple certifications)
• Build goodwill, elevate your brand recognition and value, and create positive PR through Circle H certification and co-branding (Halal lifestyle consumers are relegated to reading labels for ingredients, substituting non-certified products when necessary, and shopping at Halal specialty stores for access to certain items, because Halal products are not sufficiently available)
• Profitably market and add significant sales from a whole new segment you can easily welcome and invite to buy your products (all-year around, not just holidays)
• Kosher certified product companies and related service organizations are certifying or partnering with Circle H, because they see the value of expanding their market opportunity into the Halal lifestyle segment with a smooth and easy effort
• Seize market share, beat your competition to the punch and secure new segment consumer loyalty for generations to come (don’t miss out)
• Halal lifestyle customers wish to spend their money with you. They are simply waiting for your ask!
