This study investigates the evolution of the global halal industry through a systematic literature review that
synthesizes developments in ethical consumption, supply chain integrity, and Islamic economic values. The
rapid expansion of halal markets worldwide reflects shifting consumer expectations toward transparency,
trust, and religious compliance. Existing scholarship highlights that ethical consumption in halal contexts is
influenced not only by faith-based motivations but also by rising global awareness of sustainability and ethical
production. At the same time, supply chain integrity has emerged as a central challenge due to inconsistent
certification standards, varying regulatory frameworks, and complex cross-border production networks. This
review identifies a growing emphasis on digital technologies, such as blockchain and traceability systems,
which enhance verification processes and strengthen consumer confidence. Furthermore, the integration of
Islamic economic values underscores the moral foundation that shapes industry governance and business
ethics. The analysis reveals that recent literature increasingly situates the halal industry within broader
discussions on responsible consumption and global market competitiveness. The findings also indicate that the
institutionalization of halal standards contributes to economic inclusivity and industry professionalism.
Several research gaps persist, particularly regarding harmonized certification systems and the
operationalization of Islamic ethical principles in global supply chains. Overall, this review contributes to a
deeper understanding of how the halal industry is evolving within contemporary ethical, economic, and
governance frameworks.
