USA - The North America halal food market, encompassing the United States and Canada, was valued at USD 100.11 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 226 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.47% from 2025 to 2033. The halal process requires healthy, live animals. A Muslim slaughterer recites “Bismillah Allahu Akbar” while cutting the throat, windpipe, and blood vessels with a sharp knife for complete blood drainage. Most certifiers prohibit pre-stunning to maintain animal consciousness. Meat then undergoes processing, packaging, and distribution under halal protocols, preventing cross-contamination with non-halal products.
Texas leads US beef production with over 6.2 billion pounds annually and a cattle inventory of 12.2 million head as of January 2025 (USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service), making it an attractive location for halal meat processing expansion due to abundant local livestock supply and established agricultural infrastructure supporting both conventional and specialty slaughter facilities.
This expansion of halal food indicates a broader effort toward Islamic control, leveraging dietary laws to promote submission and societal restructuring. Via immigration-related demographics and accommodations such as school menus and zoning preferences, it creates parallel systems favoring religious requirements over secular standards, risking permanent cultural shifts.
