Halal market worth £3 Billion: UK’s leading halal trade-show comes to Manchester

With over two billion Muslims worldwide, the halal industry has become a lucrative asset in the global economy

With the halal industry determined not only by halal consumption, an exhibition coming to Manchester, explores all avenues of halal including food, clothing, art, financial advice, marital services, housing, beauty, educational resources, leisure, travel, importing/exporting, charity and much more.

Following on from the huge success of ‘Halal Expo London’, the event now comes to Manchester in a highly-anticipated two-day exhibition curated for both businesses, and consumers.

Interlacing the UK and global halal economy, creating lucrative opportunities within trade, investment and networking, Halal Expo Manchester takes place on 14th and 15th July 2023, at The Old Trafford Stadium, home of Manchester United.

With over two billion Muslims worldwide, the halal industry has become a lucrative asset in the global economy, with the UK Halal market currently estimated at over £3 billion.

Equipped to captivate the halal trade industry, both nationally and globally, the Halal Expo has become one of the leading halal trade exhibitions in the UK; and congregates some of the world’s leading halal suppliers, buyers, manufacturers, consumers and professionals.

It’s supported by the Department for Business & Trade, alongside some of UK’s reputable Muslim/non Muslim-led businesses, prominent dignitaries and brands which have become household names.

This comprehensive show will exhibit a series of seminars and workshops, with globally recognised Speakers/Ambassadors, providing eminent networking opportunities amongst business professionals and consumers.

Aatif Majid, Founder & CEO of Halal Expo London and Manchester says: “Halal Expo Manchester is not only for Muslim or halal businesses, but is also an opportunity for mainstream brands to showcase their commitment to diversity and inclusivity.

“We are also delighted to announce Asian Express Newspaper as our Official Print Media Partner for Halal Expo Manchester 2023,” announces Aatif.

Empowering communities since 2001, Asian Express has won numerous awards for connecting communities, challenging perceptions and helping change the negative narratives for Britain’s South Asians. It also is home to Britain’s first female Muslim Managing Editor, Andleeb Hanif, who is the publication’s co-founder.
