Halal Development Corporation Berhad (HDC) today announced Malaysia\u2019s halal industry performance for 2025, with halal exports reaching RM68.52 billion, showing a year-on-year increase of 10.9%. This increase shows a sustained global demand and the industry\u2019s resilience amid evolving geopolitical challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Halal exports in 2025 contributed to 4.3% of total Malaysia\u2019s overall export which is a marginal increase of 0.2% from previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The export performance continues to be anchored by the food and beverages (F&B) segment, contributing approximately 53.8% (RM36.86 billion) of total halal exports, followed by Halal ingredients at RM21.39 billion (31.2%). Exports of Palm oil and derivatives valued at RM4.57 billion, experienced a significant growth of 55%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This composition shows Malaysia\u2019s strength in core halal consumption sectors, while highlighting ongoing opportunities to expand higher value-added segments such as pharmaceuticals and halal ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In terms of export destinations, Malaysia\u2019s halal products continue to gain traction across diversified markets. Key export markets in 2025 include China, Singapore, The United States of America, Japan and Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exports to China was recorded at RM9.00 billion (13.2%) of total halal exports followed by Singapore at RM7.11 billion (10.4%). The United States of America recorded export value of RM4.46 billion (6.5%), Japan at RM4.22 billion (6.2%) and Indonesia at RM3.51 billion (5.1%). This broad market distribution echoes Malaysia\u2019s strategic diversification beyond traditional markets, strengthening resilience against regional disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In parallel, cumulative investments within Malaysia\u2019s Halal parks continued to record steady growth, indicating sustained investor confidence in the country\u2019s halal ecosystem, supported by strong governance, certification credibility, and integrated industry development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile the global halal industry remains fundamentally robust, ongoing geopolitical developments, particularly in the Middle East, may pose indirect challenges through supply chain disruptions, cost pressures, and shifts in trade dynamics,\u201d said HDC\u2019s Interim Chief Executive Officer, Hanisofian Alias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HDC noted that Malaysia\u2019s diversified export base provides a slight buffer against external impact. However, the current environment calls for greater agility, stronger supply chain resilience, and accelerated market diversification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From an industry standpoint, current global dynamics are expected to drive several structural shifts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Expansion into emerging and non-traditional markets<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Strengthening regional supply chain ecosystems<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Increased adoption of digitalisation and traceability<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Focus on high-value halal segments<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking ahead, Malaysia is well-positioned to capture opportunities in a post-conflict global landscape, including supporting the rebuilding of halal supply chains and strengthening trade linkages in affected regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Domestically, HDC will continue to prioritise SME empowerment, export readiness, and ecosystem strengthening, including through digital platforms such as the HDC Halal Integrated Platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith a strong base of halal-certified companies and growing global recognition, Malaysia\u2019s next phase of growth will focus on developing a dynamic Halal ecosystem that will advance Malaysia\u2019s products, integrity and know-how globally in line with the Halal Industry Master Plan 2030,\u201d Hanisofian added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
