Abstract

The global halal market is experiencing rapid growth, projected to reach US$ 4,569.69 billion by 2030. However, maintaining the standards is a major problem, particularly for Korean instant noodles and cosmetic products. Therefore, this research aimed to examine the critical need for improved quality management and compliance in halal food and cosmetic supply chains Issues such as lack of consumer awareness regarding halal labelling and contamination of products with non-halal or hazardous substances are discussed. Several solutions were proposed to address the challenges, including comprehensive halal standard education, internal training programs, and international cooperation for standardization. The results showed that there are several importance of regular and inclusive employee training, recognition strategies, and implementation of halal traceability systems. Additionally, the significance of government agencies and businesses from different countries was emphasized. This cooperation created consistent halal rules expected to be followed on a global basis. By integrating the strategies, manufacturers prevented contamination, ensured adherence to halal standards, and rebuilt consumer trust. Moreover, multi-faceted methods including education, technological advancements, and enhanced regulatory oversight were crucial for maintaining the integrity of halal industry and meeting growing global demand.

Abstract

Purpose – This paper seeks to explore and compare the policies and regulatory frameworks of halal certification in both OIC member and non-member countries—specifically Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. It aims to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) related to the implementation of halal certification systems and their implications for positioning within the global halal market. Methodology/approach – A qualitative approach was adopted using secondary data sourced from scientific literature. The analysis focused on institutional structures, certification procedures, and policy frameworks, comparing how each country governs and implements halal certification. Findings – The study reveals significant differences in the institutional and regulatory approaches to halal certification. Indonesia operates through BPJPH under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Malaysia through JAKIM, Thailand through CICOT, and Singapore through MUIS. Each system presents distinct advantages and challenges, influencing the countries’ ability to compete as global halal hubs. Novelty/value – This study contributes a comparative perspective on halal certification between OIC and non-OIC member countries and applies a SWOT analysis framework to highlight strategic opportunities and challenges. It offers insights useful for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to enhance halal governance and competitiveness in the global halal industry.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the global Muslim population has significantly fuelled the expansion of the halal industry across numerous countries, including those within ASEAN. Halal certification plays a critical role in ensuring products meet Shariah standards, thereby enhancing product safety and appeal for Muslim consumers. This article explores and compares the policies and regulatory frameworks for halal certification in OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) member and non-member countries, specifically Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. These countries exhibit fundamental differences in their approaches and implementations: Indonesia relies on the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Malaysia through the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), Thailand with the support of the Central Islamic Council of Thailand (CICOT), and Singapore through the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS). This study identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) associated with the regulation and implementation of halal certification in these countries. Employing a qualitative approach, data were gathered from scientific literature sources. The findings aim to provide an in-depth understanding of how regulatory frameworks and certification impact the competitive positioning of these nations within the global halal market, supporting their ambitions to emerge as leading global halal hubs.   Keywords: Halal Authority Bodies, Halal Regulations, Halal Certifications, OIC Countries, non-OIC Countries
