HTO is your key to the Halal market TM!

Domestic Halal market

The annual domestic market value of Halal product sales in the United States is over $20 billion. The majority of Muslim consumers in the United States and Canada walk right past products that are not Halal certified by a reputable, accredited, and recognizable Halal certification body. That means millions of potential new buyers do not pay attention to non-certified or improperly certified products.

Choosing to ignore this consumer demographic is choosing to cede market territory to your competitors. The Halal market is one of the most important new value-added labels of the 21 st century and your competitors are either already certified or they are going to obtain this certification. Stay competitive and build a solid foundation for your products with this important consumer demographic!

Halal Export

Starting in 2022, almost all food and beverage products are going to require Halal certification in order to enter Saudi Arabia. Other GCC nations are expected to follow suit in the near future. Over the coming few years, all consumable products entering Indonesia will require Halal certification, as well. How do you stay on top of the changing world of Halal requirements and regulations? How do you ensure that your products are able to maintain that valuable market access you rely on? That is where HTO come in.
