The Future for Growth
Just how big a market are we talking? According to research carried out by Thomson Reuters, global spending by Muslims— in food and beverages, fashion, cosmetics, travel and recreation— is expected to grow to $2.6 trillion by 2020.
It’s forecast young Muslim women will lead this trend with growing demand, in particular, for halal cosmetics. According to Thomson Reuters the beauty segment alone is expected to increase to $73 billion in 2019.
The Muslim fashion market is expected to double to $484 billion by 2019.
