Kosher is a $320 billion industry and ranks among the fastest growing segments in
the retail food business.
Kosher has come a long way from the obscure dietary restrictions that were only
observed by only a small fraction of the world's population. Today, the increased
availability and desirability of kosher food is reflected in its amazing growth
rate. Retail food sales grew at a rate of 6 percent last year while kosher food
sales grew 15 percent.
And you don't you have to be Jewish to buy and consume kosher products. Only 44%
of the kosher market is Jewish. The second largest consumer group for kosher food
is Muslims. There are over 1.3 billion Muslims in the world today, and in the absence
of widespread halal certification, they have come to rely on kosher certification.
Others who prefer to eat kosher include Seventh-day Adventists, vegetarians, lactose-intolerant,
and health conscious consumers.
The growing number of non-Jewish consumers of kosher food has not been lost on the
supermarket chains. Given a choice, supermarkets prefer to stock kosher products.
In today's economic climate, companies throughout the world realize that in order
to broaden the market for their products and gain a bigger market share they need
to expand into the kosher marketplace.
