World Halal Day is a global event, commemorated annually on 1st of November since 2014, established by the UNWHD Organisation, seeking " to build a platform that brings together the demand & supply of Halal trade & economy in all streams of business". Halal (/həˈlɑːl/; Arabic: حلال‎, ḥalāl); is an Arabic word that translates to "permissible" in English which means lawful or allowed.

The Halal ecosystem consists of different segments including Halal food, Halal travel, modest fashion, Muslim-friendly tourism and Halal cosmetics/pharmaceutical says researchgate.

Studies reveal that the industry is growing fast with the global halal food market reaching a value of US$ 1.9 Trillion in 2020, as per research and markets.
