Halal Packaging Market

REPORT DESCRIPTION
Halal Packaging Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast
2016 – 2024
The term ‘Halal’ refers to permitted under Muslim law. Many of us assume that the term ‘Halal’ refers to food only;
however, Halal certification can apply to a number of categories, including food, beverages, pharmaceuticals,
healthcare, cosmetic products, and also packaging. Increasing population of the Muslim community across the world,
coupled with increasing awareness about Halal certification, is anticipated to drive demand for Halal products and
services across the world in the coming years.
Major growth drivers for the Halal packaging market include: growing Muslim population across the world, increased
marketability of products due to Halal certification, and improved awareness about Halal certified products and
services. However, the increased cost of products in case of carrying out customized Halal packaging can pose a
threat to the market growth.
The Halal packaging market can be segmented on the basis of end use industry, which typically includes food and
beverages, cosmetics, and others. It can also be classified on the basis of various materials such as plastic and
paper.
As the name suggests, Halal packaging involves using Halal certified raw materials for packaging materials and
Halal certified lubricants for packaging machinery. The lubricants used in packaging machinery should strictly avoid
the use of porcine stearates.
Cardia Bio-plastics, a supplier of sustainable resins to the global plastic and packaging industries, has received Halal
certification for its range of bio-hybrid resins.
Generally, polymers are produced from petroleum based raw materials. However, additives are added to the
polymers to improve their properties. For Halal consumers, the primary concern is the usage of additives derived
from indefinite sources for the manufacture of polymer resins. The usage of additives which are derived from nonhalal
animals (animals which are not permitted for slaughtering according to Islamic law, such as swine) or from
permitted animals which were not slaughtered in accordance with Islamic slaughtering / Halal rules, is prohibited for
Muslim consumers.
