Health-conscious consumers worldwide demand cleaner, safer, and more ethically produced supplements, medicines, and wellness products. Hence, halal-certified health products have stepped into the spotlight. What was once a niche certification for Muslim-majority markets in the 60’s is now increasingly recognised globally as a symbol of quality, safety, and ethical assurance.
For brands eyeing regional or international growth, contract manufacturing—especially in a halal-compliant facility—offers a cost-effective and strategic way to expand product lines without heavy capital investment. And among all countries, Malaysia stands out as a globally respected hub for halal production. At Wen Ken Group, we have been one of the most trusted names with over 80 years of heritage in medicine manufacturing in Malaysia, especially in halal production.
The Global Shift Towards Halal Health and Wellness Products
The halal economy is no longer confined to food and beverage—it’s rapidly expanding into pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and supplements. Modern consumers are more informed and selective, seeking transparency, ethical sourcing, and compliance with religious and cultural practices.
For Muslims, halal certification ensures that a product meets Islamic guidelines. But for a wider audience, including Non-Muslims, halal often signals high standards in hygiene, safety, and traceability. This means halal-certified products appeal to a wide consumer pool beyond faith-based reasons.
🌏Growth in Non-Muslim Countries🌏
Countries like Japan, South Korea, Brazil, and Australia are aggressively expanding halal certification and exports, even with their small Muslim populations.

According to SEA Stats, the global Muslim population expected to hit 2.2 billion by 2030, the market for halal wellness products is exploding not just in Southeast Asia or the Middle East, but also in Europe, North America, and other non-Muslim majority regions. This is a clear signal: halal is mainstream, and health brands must evolve to meet this growing demand.
