"Increased consumer awareness, multiculturalism, and globalization"

The theme of the 1st Anuga Select Brazil Halal Forum 2026 reflects the need to respond to the growing global demand for transparency, ethics, and consumer trust regarding food production. In a multicultural and globalized economy, the Forum acts as a catalyst for the integration of Halal into traditional markets, positioning it as a universal quality seal.


The global Halal food market is significant: in 2023, it generated approximately US$1.43 trillion in spending by Muslim consumers, with projections reaching US$1.94 trillion by 2028, an annual growth rate of 6.2%. Brazil is one of the leading players in this market, being the largest supplier of Halal food in the world, but there are still opportunities, especially regarding processed products.
