Halal Initiatives
Safe, hygienic and trusted the world over
Halal is an Arabic word that broadly translates to ‘lawful’ or ‘permissible’. Halal has developed into a universal value and has gained acceptance by everyone for its wholesome, hygienic contamination-free principles in food and non-food products. The application of halal standards and assurance through Halal Certification is not just bolstering Muslim consumers’ trust and confidence but also heightening product legitimacy.
Duopharma Biotech’s Halal Commitment is part of our fardh kifayah, a communal obligation that must be discharged for the community to prosper. We uphold our commitment to producing halal pharmaceutical products that are:
- Safe for consumption and use;
- Assured of effectiveness;
- High-quality standards of ingredients or materials and production; and
- Manufactured hygienically.
Duopharma Biotech embraces the principle of a holistic approach to halal pharmaceuticals with the “Halal Built-In, Not Tested For” practice. It is a comprehensive method to ensure that our manufacturing facilities are fully halal-compliant. Every step of the way, which includes selecting products, technology, raw materials, packaging, logistics, and warehousing right up to the consumers, adheres to the Malaysian Standard MS 2424, Halal pharmaceuticals – General requirements (First revision). Our commitment to developing products that are assured halal from start to finish eliminates any need for testing as the process of determining halal is built-in.

The growing Muslim population worldwide and increasing demand for halal goods present huge potential and opportunity for halal pharmaceutical businesses. As reported in the Halal Industry Master Plan (HIMP 2030), the value of the global halal market is expected to grow to USD5 trillion.
According to the State of Global Islamic Economy Report 2023/2024, the halal pharmaceutical market was valued at USD108 billion in 2022, an increase of 7.8% from 2021.
