The document discusses opportunities in the global halal industry and strategies for competitive advantage. It notes that the current global halal market is estimated at $5-14 billion annually and growing over 35% per year. However, Muslim consumers represent diverse markets with varying incomes, tastes, and stages of development. The document advocates differentiation and value creation through branding, new technologies, and novel products as ways to gain competitive advantage. It also emphasizes the importance of integrating concepts of sustainability, ethics and community benefit with Islamic concepts of halal and toyib to develop integrated supply chain advantages.

3. Global Cosmetic and personal
care market Estimate (2012)
> USD35 Trillion
Current global size of Halal
cosmetic & personal care market
USD 5-14 Billion
USD 7 Trillion
Current market
growth is > 35% per
annum
That Means if 2012 is
USD 14 Billion:
2013 = 53 billion
2014 = 81 billion
2015 = 124 billion
2016 = 190 billion
2017 = 292 billion
2018 = 449 billion
2019 = 690 billion
2020 = 1.06 Trillion
4. Current Global Halal
awareness is estimated to be
20% among the global
Ummah.
This is going rapidly
However awareness about
halal Cosmetics and personal
care is even less but growing
rapidly
Matrade 2010
5. Although Muslims make up 20% of the World’s population many are in
poverty
Most countries are at different stages of development
Consumer tastes and preferences actually differ widely
Supply chains are typically “third world” in most countries
Although ONE Ummah, different aspiration, desires, customs, incomes
This is a niche market in many countries
20% of the World’s Muslims are NOT concerned about Halal certification on
packaging
6. Background

different ethno-cultural
background
• Lagging along in
national development
• Lower education

• Predominantly rural
population
• Currently unable to

tourism industry
• Ageing farmer
population
• Limited knowledge of
potential opportunities
and matching skills

problems at
home?
8. “Mindset Barriers”
(Small Holders)
• market passive
• copy cat approach
• ‘quick-fix approach’
• poor exposure and perhaps resistance to new
ideas,
• practice isolation,
• market isolation
• perception of agriculture as only a fallback
profession
• fixation on a single success.
9. Lack of Ideas
Lack of education and skills
Narrow mindset
Feeling of powerlessness – lack of
access to markets
Lack of resources
Lack of will

15. The World has become a somewhat
integrated market over the last few
decades through the phenomena known
as globalization
Traditional economics
would explain this
phenomena in terms of
specialization, comparati
ve and relative advantage
Sociologists would talk in
terms of the ‘cosmopolitan
man’
16. Success in the global market would depend upon……
Competitive advantage grows fundamentally out of value a
firm is able to create for its buyers that exceeds the firm’s
costs of creating it. Value is what buyers are willing to pay,
and superior value stems from… providing unique benefits
that more than offset a higher price.
According to Professor Michael E. Porter
17. This presents three major issues:
1. Is ‘Globalization’ more ‘reality’, than ‘myth’?
and if so and we understand it’s
dynamics
2. What are the potential opportunities?
and
3. How do we exploit these potential
opportunities?

21. Toyyibat & Halal
• This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful
unto you. The food of the people of the Book is
lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. … If
anyone rejects Faith, fruitless is his work, and in the
Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have
lost (all spiritual good).
Al-Ma’idah5:5
22. • O you people! Eat of what is on earth, lawful
and good; and do not follow the footsteps of
the evil one, for he is to you an avowed
enemy.
Al-Baqarah 2:168
23. • From the land that is clean and good, by the
Will of its Cherisher, springs up produce,
(rich) after its kind; but from the land that is
bad, springs up nothing but that which is
niggardly: thus do we explain the Signs by
various (symbols) to those who are grateful.
Al-A’raf 7:58
24. • O ye who believe! Eat of the good things that
We have provided for you, and be grateful to
God, if it is Him ye worship.
Al-Baqarah 2:172

26. “He hath subjected to you all that
there is in the heavens and all
that there is in the earth: All is
from Him. Verily, herein are signs
for those who reflect.”
Al-Jathiyah 45:12
27. The Muslim living as a minority in a
non-Islamic society will have a
number of problems identifying
what items are halal and haram
(forbidden in Islam), without
product certification. For example,
gelatine, lard and tallow can be
either in a halal or non-halal,
depending upon their source and
method of processing. Cross
contamination is a major problem
in stores and particularly
restaurants, where pork is also
served.
