Synthèse

As of 2020, the halal market continues to present significant growth opportunities globally, with the food segment, specifically halal meat, driving much of the expansion. The halal meat market in French supermarkets alone accounted for €337 million in sales, marking a 13.6% increase in volume and a 14.9% increase in value from the previous year. Poultry stands out as a leader within the food sector, with sales climbing to €133 million, up by 15.6%.

Among consumers, young urban Muslims and growing families are the primary buyers, with a considerable part of halal sales occurring in independent butcher shops rather than large retail chains, signaling a demand for traceability and respect for ritual practices. Innovations and diversification in product offerings, such as Isla Délice's addition of 7 to 8 new items annually, and growth strategies highlighting the French origin of products, like Régahal's revamped packaging, are key trends. The French halal market was estimated at 5.5 billion euros in 2014 and has continued to expand since, bolstered by heightened consumer awareness, evolving product ranges, and strategic promotional activities—particularly around the culturally significant period of Ramadan.

Halal Meat Market Trends and Insights in France

The halal meat market in France has been a center of exponential growth, driven by a significant Muslim community that serves as its primary clientele. The Muslim demographic was estimated to be between 5 and 6 million, with expectations that the number would reach between 8 and 13 million by 2050. Such statistics underscore the potential for halal meat demands to soar in the coming years. An in-depth look at halal meat consumers reveals a wide array of purchasing behaviors influenced by factors such as age, socioeconomic status, and geographic location.

The Muslim population in the region of Centre-Val de Loire shows a higher systematic consumption rate of halal meat compared to their counterparts in regions like Aquitaine-Limousin-Poitou-Charentes. When breaking down halal meat consumption habits by family types, the most frequent buyers, comprising nearly 30% of this market segment, are the "pre-families," or young couples and singles under 35 without children. This demographic spends an average monthly budget of around 238 euros on halal products. In contrast, "growing families," with at least one child between 6 and 11 years of age, have the highest expenditure, averaging around 403 euros each month.

Consumers' expectations for halal meat are riding on a more demanding wave, increasingly leaning towards health consciousness, product traceability, and quality assurance. Scandals and controversies around improper labeling and inadequate respect for halal practices have shifted a significant portion of the consumer base towards small neighborhood butchers, who are perceived as more trustworthy compared to larger supermarket chains. Small businesses seem to have a stronghold, capturing more than 50% of food expenditure, reinforcing the aura of trust and quality associated with traditional halal purchasing venues.

The halal market, anchored predominantly in the meat segment, is characterized by fierce competition and innovation. In 2020 alone, sales in the halal meat market in supermarkets reached nearly 380 million euros, with halal charcuterie and frozen meats as the most significant sub-segments. Leading brands are maintaining their dominance by continuously introducing new products, focusing on the provenance of meats, and employing aggressive marketing campaigns, especially during the critical period of Ramadan. Ramadan remains a peak season for halal meat sales, accounting for as much as 30% of annual revenue. Commercial strategies during this period include enticing promotions and targeted communication efforts. 

Prominent Figures in the Halal Market Landscape

The halal market, a dynamically complex and proliferating sector, showcases a range of illustrious players who have carved out distinctive niches for themselves.

  • In the realm of halal charcuterie, Isla Délice stands as the colossus, dominating the market share by value in 2020 with an impressive 46.8%, marking a significant year-on-year growth of 18.1%. This brand's supremacy within the halal meat market is quite evident as it consistently maintains its lead, exuding market dominance and consumer preference.
  • A notable challenger, Fleury Michon, occupies a respected position with 17.1% of the market share, evidencing a steadfast growth of 14.7% from the previous year. This indicates a robust foothold within the halal segment and a resilient stride toward capturing the consumer palette.
  • The third major contender in the charcuterie segment is Oriental Viandes, claiming 8.8% of the market. The brand's notable climb of 31.8% spotlights its emerging significance and the growing appeal of its offerings within the halal marketplace.
  • When it comes to halal frozen meat, Isla Délice once again emerges as the market leader, gripping 52.4% of the volume market share in 2020 and demonstrating a staggering upward trajectory by surging 36% compared to the previous year. This substantial presence underlines Isla Délice’s versatility in catering not only to traditional charcuterie lovers but also to those seeking convenience and variety in frozen meat products.
  • In the spheres of innovation and competitiveness within the halal poultry sector, prominent players like Isla Délice, Fleury Michon, and Réghalal (associated with the Société Normande de Volaille, a subsidiary of the large LDC group) are worth noting.

Not only have these brands made a mark in the general market, but they have also significant stakes in various segments like frozen meat and poultry deli products, illustrating their comprehensive approach to the halal market. These key players have not only contributed to the expansion and diversity of the market through product innovation and strategic positioning but have also responded to the nuanced demands of a discerning clientele. Their growth strategies and enduring presence in the market underscore their critical roles in shaping the outlook and consumer trends within the global halal marketplace.

Sommaire et extraits

1 Market overview

1.1 Definition and scope of the study

In the Muslim religion, halal refers to everything authorized by Sharia, or Islamic law, as opposed to haram, which is prohibited or impure. The prohibitions of the Muslim religion include the consumption of alcohol, drugs and pork (including the pork gelatin used to make sweets), as well as " blood, the dead beast or the beast on which one has eaten. ( Sura 5 of the Koran), i.e. any meat from an animal that has not been slaughtered alive.

So, according to Muslim rites, to be halal, the animal must be turned towards Mecca, its throat cut and bled by a Muslim who pronounces sacred words. This practice contravenes French legislation, which requires the animal to be stunned before slaughter.

In 2020, on a global scale, the halal food market segment represented 57.8% in volume terms, making it the largest halal market segment in comparison with other halal sectors such as cosmetics, clothing, "muslim-friendly" tourism...

The halal prescription has given rise to some controversy in Europe, notably among animal rights groups. What's more, there is no halal label in France, unlike kosher products, which are guaranteed by the Consistoire Central des Juifs de France.

Despite these certification difficulties, the meat market is very much alive, with all halal products, including meat, growing in value terms by +12.4% in 2022 compared with 2019 , and the 1st Halal Franchise Fair held in Paris in 2020. The market therefore appears to be growing steadily, with market structuring tending to develop, following the example of Isla Délice, which saw a steady 8-10% increase in sales between 2010 and 2020.

In fact, the main players in the halal meat market are, on the one hand, major groups such as Fleury Michon, Isla délice and Réghalal (a subsidiary of the LDC group) and, on the other, independent stores such as butchers, which are smaller players.
