The third Makkah Halal Forum 2026 delivered a clear message to international markets: the halal sector is increasingly professional, regulated, and governance-driven.
With participation from over 16 countries, the forum emphasized standardization, trade agreements, and strategic partnerships. The event takes place amid rapid growth in the halal economy, which reached approximately USD 2.42 trillion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 3.36 trillion by 2028.
For Brazilian exporters, the takeaway is clear: technical compliance and certification credibility are now competitive requirements.
