Consumer Favoritsm on Halal Products, An Opportunity for Indonesian Local Brands to Rise

Indonesian Consumers Are Redefining the Market It’s Time for Local Halal Brands to Lead

Since 2023, Indonesia’s consumer market has undergone a major shift. The boycott movement against brands affiliated with Israel may have been the spark, but the impact goes far beyond temporary solidarity. What we are witnessing is a mindset transformation: consumers are increasingly aware that every purchase is a statement of their values.

From Boycotts to Positive Preferences In the past, foreign products often dominated because of prestige and global branding. Today, more Indonesians are turning to local products — especially those that are halal-certified. For consumers, halal is more than just a label. It represents trust, ethics, and cultural alignment. Halal-certified products are perceived as safer, more reliable, and more deserving of long-term support. As a result, local halal brands are no longer seen as mere alternatives. They are steadily becoming the primary solution. A Golden Opportunity for Local Brands This consumer shift has opened a golden window of opportunity for Indonesia. With its massive domestic market and active diaspora communities, Indonesian halal brands are strategically positioned to: Fill the gap left by declining global brands Offer products built on values and integrity Expand into the vast global halal economy But this momentum will only translate into long-term growth if local businesses dare to build purpose-driven brands, not just products. Today’s consumers don’t simply buy based on price or quality; they choose brands that align with their values and beliefs. Halal Expo Indonesia 2025: Turning Momentum into Action The key question is: how can Indonesian halal brands transform this momentum into a sustainable growth strategy?

Conclusion: From Indonesia, to the World Indonesian consumers have already pointed the way forward: loyalty is earned through values, not just big names. Now, it is up to local halal brands to seize this leadership opportunity. If embraced strategically, Indonesia can become not only the largest halal market, but also the global hub of halal brand growth.
