An Estimation on the Size of Halal Meat Market in Korea

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the size of domestic halal meat market for chicken and beef and to draw the implication for the necessity of the establishment of halal slaughter house. One of our research results shows that the size of halal meat market for chicken is estimated to be 5,901 metric tons and halal beef meat market is estimated to be 2,764 metric tons in 2016. The value of total halal meat for chicken and beef is estimated to reach 55.4 billion won. As a non-Muslim country, Korea so far has no halal slaughter house. This result suggests that halal slaughter house in Korea is urgently needed. Another result of our research reveals that the establishment of the halal slaughter house can contribute greatly to the activation of the domestic halal meat market through the import substitution of imported meat and can provided a legitimate basis for halal meat supply chain.
