In 2023, over ** percent of Indonesians declared themselves to be Muslim, followed by *** percent who were Christians. Indonesia has the largest Islamic population in the world and for this reason is often recognized as a Muslim nation. However, Indonesia is not a Muslim nation according to its constitution. The archipelago is a multifaith country and officially recognizes six religions – Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. Not all provinces in Indonesia are Muslim majority The spread of Islam in Indonesia began on the west side of the archipelago, where the main maritime trade routes were located. Until today, most of the Indonesian Muslim population are residing in Western and Central Indonesia, while the majority religion of several provinces in Eastern Indonesia, such as East Nusa Tenggara and Bali, is Christian and Hindu, respectively. Discrimination towards other beliefs in Indonesia The Indonesian constitution provides for freedom of religion. However, the Government Restrictions Index Score on religion in Indonesia is relatively high. Indonesians who practice unrecognized religions, including Indonesia’s indigenous or traditional belief systems, such as animism, dynamism, and totemism, face legal restrictions and discrimination. Indonesian law requires its citizens to put one of the recognized religions on their national identity cards, with some exceptions for indigenous religions. Although legally citizens may leave the section blank, atheism or agnosticism is considered uncommon in Indonesia.

As of 2021, approximately **** percent of the population in Aceh, Indonesia were Muslims. Despite being the largest Muslim-majority country, Indonesia is a multi-faith country by the constitution and officially recognizes *** religions – Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism.

In 2023, it was estimated that approximately ** percent of the Indonesian population were Muslim, accounting for the highest share of Muslims in any Southeast Asian country.

During the month of Ramadan, ** percent of Indonesian users utilized online applications to order food. Many Indonesians planned to shop online or offline during Ramadan, with around ** percent of online users planning to purchase fashion wear and accessories. Shopee was the most used app for shopping purposes during that period.

Recent issues on politics have been dominant in Indonesia that people are divided and become more intolerant of each other. Indonesia has the biggest Muslim population in the world and the role of Islam in Indonesian politics is significant. The current Indonesian government claim that moderate Muslims are loyal to the present political system while the opposing rivals who are often labelled’intolerant and radical Muslims’ by Indonesian mass media often disagree with the central interpretation of democracy in Indonesia. Studies on contributing factors and discourse strategies used in news and articles in secular and Islamic mass media which play a vital role in the construction of Muslim and Islamic identities in Indonesia are, therefore, recommended.

In 2023, approximately ***** million people in Indonesia identified as Muslims. Indonesia has the largest Islamic population in the world. However, it is a multi-faith country and officially recognizes six religions: Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism.

The 2010 census recorded that there were approximately ***** million Muslims in urban areas in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the Muslim population in rural areas was lower, at around ****** million. Indonesia conducts its census every ten years. Detailed demographic breakdowns by religion from the 2020 census are not yet publicly available.

Officially Taiwan has only 60,000 Muslim population, which constitutes only 0.2 % of the total population of Taiwan but many Muslims from countries like Indonesia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Turkey, Pakistan, India, and countries from Africa and the Middle East are part of the workforce which was estimated up to 254,000 in 2015. Interestingly, the number of local Muslims is less than those who came here to work or to study. There are about 7 mosques in Taiwan but it also has many other places where people can perform daily prayers.

Halal Ingredients Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the global Halal Ingredients market size is valued at USD 349.2 billion in 2024, with robust growth driven by increasing demand for ethically sourced and certified products. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2033, reaching a projected value of USD 653.1 billion by 2033. This impressive growth trajectory is primarily attributed to the rising Muslim population worldwide, growing consumer awareness regarding Halal certification, and the expanding application of Halal ingredients across food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors. As per our latest research, the Halal Ingredients market is experiencing a significant transformation, with both established and emerging economies witnessing a surge in demand for Halal-compliant products.

One of the major growth factors propelling the Halal Ingredients market is the increasing global Muslim population, which is projected to reach nearly 2.2 billion by 2030. This demographic shift is resulting in a greater preference for Halal-certified products, not only in food and beverages but also across pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Additionally, non-Muslim consumers are increasingly opting for Halal products due to their perceived safety, quality, and ethical sourcing. The stringent regulatory frameworks and certification processes have further enhanced consumer trust, encouraging manufacturers to invest in Halal-compliant supply chains and product development. This trend is particularly evident in countries with significant Muslim populations such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, but is also gaining traction in Western markets as global trade expands.

Another key driver for the Halal Ingredients market is the growing consumer awareness about health, hygiene, and ethical consumption. Halal certification involves rigorous checks for cleanliness, safety, and the absence of prohibited substances, which aligns with the broader movement towards clean-label and sustainable products. The increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases and food allergies has led consumers to seek out products that are not only Halal but also organic, non-GMO, and free from artificial additives. Furthermore, the expansion of the global supply chain and e-commerce platforms has made Halal products more accessible to consumers worldwide, thus accelerating market growth. Multinational companies are now partnering with local Halal certification bodies to ensure compliance and tap into new market segments.

Technological advancements and innovation in ingredient sourcing and processing are also playing a pivotal role in the market's expansion. The development of plant-based and alternative protein sources that comply with Halal standards is opening new avenues for product innovation. In addition, the integration of blockchain and digital traceability solutions is helping manufacturers ensure transparency and maintain consumer confidence in Halal certification. The increasing investment in research and development by both public and private sectors is expected to further diversify the range of Halal ingredients available in the market, catering to evolving consumer preferences and regulatory requirements.

The Middle East & Africa region follows closely, driven by high per capita consumption and strong government support for Halal industries. Europe and North America are emerging as lucrative markets due to rising multicultural populations and increasing awareness among non-Muslim consumers. The presence of robust certification bodies and supportive regulatory frameworks in these regions is fostering a conducive environment for market growth. Latin America, although still in the nascent stage, is witnessing steady growth as local manufacturers and exporters recognize the potential of Halal-certified products in global trade.

Ingredient Type Analysis

The Halal Ingredients market is segmented by ingredient type into food ingredients, beverage ingredients, pharmaceutical ingredients, cosmetic ingredients, and others. Food ingredients currently represent the largest share of the market, driven by the massive consumption of processed and packaged foods among Muslim and non-Muslim populations alike.

According to our latest research, the halal frozen food market size reached USD 28.6 billion globally in 2024, and is anticipated to expand at a robust CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period, reaching approximately USD 53.3 billion by 2033. The market’s growth is primarily driven by the rising demand for convenient, high-quality, and religiously compliant food products among the expanding Muslim population worldwide. As per the latest research, increasing consumer awareness regarding halal certification, urbanization, and the proliferation of modern retail formats are significantly accelerating the adoption of halal frozen food products across both developed and emerging economies.

One of the primary growth factors propelling the halal frozen food market is the substantial increase in the global Muslim population, which is projected to reach nearly 2.2 billion by 2030. This demographic shift is fueling the demand for halal-certified products that assure compliance with Islamic dietary laws. Consumers are increasingly seeking transparency and authenticity in their food choices, and halal certification is perceived as a mark of safety, hygiene, and quality. Furthermore, the growing number of dual-income households and urban dwellers has led to a surge in demand for convenient meal solutions such as ready-to-eat and easy-to-prepare frozen foods. This trend is especially pronounced in urban centers of Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe, where busy lifestyles and time constraints are driving consumers towards halal frozen alternatives.

Another significant driver for the halal frozen food market is the expansion of modern retail infrastructure, including supermarkets, hypermarkets, and online retail platforms. These channels have made halal frozen foods more accessible to a broader consumer base and have enabled manufacturers to penetrate new markets. The proliferation of e-commerce and online grocery delivery services, especially post-pandemic, has allowed consumers to access a diverse range of halal frozen products from the comfort of their homes. This digital transformation has also facilitated better traceability and transparency, which are critical factors for consumers seeking assurance regarding halal compliance. Additionally, aggressive marketing strategies, attractive packaging, and the introduction of innovative product variants such as halal-certified seafood, desserts, and snacks are further contributing to market expansion.

Product innovation and diversification are also playing a pivotal role in the market’s growth trajectory. Manufacturers are focusing on developing new product lines that cater to evolving consumer preferences, such as organic, gluten-free, and low-fat halal frozen foods. The integration of advanced freezing technologies has improved the shelf life and quality of these products, making them more appealing to health-conscious consumers. Moreover, collaborations between food manufacturers and halal certification bodies are enhancing the credibility of halal frozen food products, thereby fostering consumer trust. The increasing participation of non-Muslim consumers, who perceive halal foods as a symbol of quality and safety, is also broadening the market’s appeal beyond its traditional base.

From a regional perspective, Asia Pacific dominates the halal frozen food market, accounting for the largest share in 2024, followed by the Middle East & Africa and Europe. The rapid urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and the presence of a large Muslim population in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan are key factors behind Asia Pacific’s market leadership. The Middle East & Africa region is also witnessing significant growth, driven by strong religious adherence and supportive government regulations promoting halal certification. Meanwhile, Europe and North America are emerging as lucrative markets due to increasing Muslim immigration, growing multiculturalism, and heightened awareness about halal food standards. These regional dynamics are shaping the competitive landscape and influencing product innovation and marketing strategies across the global halal frozen food market.

Modest Fashion Market Outlook

According to our latest research, the Global Modest Fashion market size was valued at $44.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $98.7 billion by 2033, expanding at a robust CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period of 2024–2033. This impressive growth trajectory is primarily fueled by the increasing global awareness and acceptance of modest fashion, transcending cultural and religious boundaries. The market is witnessing a paradigm shift as mainstream fashion houses and luxury brands embrace modest wear, integrating it into their seasonal collections. This broadening appeal is complemented by the rising purchasing power and digital connectivity in key Islamic markets, which is further amplified by social media influencers and e-commerce platforms. As a result, modest fashion is no longer a niche segment but a dynamic, fast-evolving global market with significant growth potential across diverse consumer demographics.

Regional Outlook

The Middle East & Africa region currently commands the largest share of the global modest fashion market, accounting for over 38% of the total market value in 2024. This dominance is attributed to the deeply rooted cultural and religious traditions that prioritize modest dressing, particularly among women. The presence of affluent consumer bases in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, coupled with a strong retail infrastructure and the proliferation of luxury shopping destinations, has further propelled market growth. Government initiatives promoting local fashion industries and the influx of international brands collaborating with regional designers have also played a pivotal role in shaping the Middle East & Africa as the epicenter of modest fashion innovation and consumption. The region’s mature retail sector, high disposable income, and a thriving tourism industry continue to underpin its leadership position in the global modest fashion landscape.

In contrast, the Asia Pacific region is emerging as the fastest-growing market, projected to register a CAGR of 11.2% through 2033. This rapid expansion is driven by the burgeoning Muslim population in countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and India, as well as growing demand from non-Muslim consumers seeking versatile, comfortable, and stylish clothing options. The region’s youthful demographic, increasing urbanization, and digital transformation are encouraging both local and international brands to invest heavily in product innovation and omni-channel retail strategies. Strategic government partnerships, such as Indonesia’s support for its modest fashion sector as a pillar of the national creative economy, are also spurring investment and fostering a vibrant ecosystem for designers and entrepreneurs. Consequently, Asia Pacific is poised to outpace other regions in terms of both market value and innovation over the next decade.

Meanwhile, emerging economies in Latin America and certain parts of Europe are experiencing a gradual but noticeable uptick in modest fashion adoption. These regions face unique challenges, including limited awareness, supply chain constraints, and the need for greater localization of styles to cater to diverse cultural preferences. However, shifting societal attitudes towards inclusivity and the influence of global fashion trends are opening new avenues for growth. Policy reforms aimed at supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the textile and apparel sectors, along with targeted marketing campaigns, are helping to overcome some of these barriers. As a result, Latin America and Europe are expected to witness steady, albeit slower, growth in the modest fashion market, with ample opportunities for brands willing to tailor their offerings to local tastes and sensibilities.
