The report, from the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, through Thomson Reuters and the Dinar Standard, estimates that the market will continue to grow at an annual rate of 6.9% percent, reaching a value of USD $1.6 trillion by 2018.

“A lot of our customers are seeing demand increase for Halal certified products, and this accreditation provides another important link in the traceability chain for customers, who are looking for certainty that their production processes comply with relevant legislation.”
