The Halal market is no longer a niche: we’re talking about over 2 billion consumers.
Worldwide and more than 57 countries where certification is required, either mandatorily or preferentially, for the import of food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, textile products and more. For companies looking at international markets, understanding how this standard works is now a real competitive advantage.
That’s why on July 21, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM, Analytical Group is organizing a free webinar on Halal certification, in collaboration with WHA – World Halal Authority, an internationally recognized certification body.
Why Talk About Halal
The term “Halal” refers to what is permissible under Islamic law, and when applied to products, it means that raw materials, processing, storage, and distribution meet precise compliance requirements. However, this isn’t only a religious matter: for sectors such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles and leather goods, packaging, and logistics, Halal certification is increasingly a contractual requirement demanded by international distributors and retail chains.
Obtaining it means opening the door to markets such as the Middle East, North Africa, Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore), and Europe, where demand from the Muslim community continues to grow steadily.
What We’ll Cover in the Webinar
The webinar is designed as a starting point to help navigate standards, requirements, and process stages, with the direct support of WHA experts.Â
