In recent years, China’s export trade in halal food has shown a remarkable growth trend, and its recognition in overseas markets has been steadily increasing.

In recent years, China’s halal food export trade has shown remarkable growth, and its recognition in overseas markets has been steadily increasing. According to industry data, by 2025, the size of China’s halal food market had already surpassed 300 billion yuan, with an average annual compound growth rate exceeding 8%. Among them, the growth in export volume has been particularly striking. Take Ningxia as an example: as the location of the national-level “Halal Food Certification Center,” its halal beef exports reached 53,000 tons in 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 13.8%. These exports are primarily destined for countries along the Belt and Road, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, and the United Arab Emirates.

This growth is driven by multiple factors: On the one hand, the global Muslim population continues to rise and is projected to reach 2.2 billion by 2030, driving an expansion in demand for halal food products. On the other hand, trade relations between China and member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation are becoming increasingly close, and mechanisms for mutual recognition of certifications are steadily improving. For instance, China has already signed memoranda of understanding on certification cooperation with 14 Islamic countries, and eight of these countries have agreed to mutually recognize certification results issued by China’s Islamic Association, significantly reducing export costs.

In overseas markets, Chinese halal food products have gradually earned consumer trust thanks to stringent quality controls and certification systems that meet international standards. For example, after obtaining international certifications, some companies saw their order volumes increase by 30% and attracted significant attention from the global market. Moreover, by adopting localized operations, innovating products, and implementing omnichannel marketing strategies, these companies have further enhanced their brand visibility, driving the continued growth of Chinese halal food’s penetration in global markets.
