The global halal industry is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the increasing Muslim population and heightened consumer awareness of halal products. This study aims to compare the halal industry performance of Indonesia and Malaysia, focusing on regulatory structures, halal certification systems, policy effectiveness, and international recognition. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a comparative approach, this study draws on the State of the Global Islamic Economy Reports from 2020 to 2023 and the Global Islamic Economy Indicator. The results show that Malaysia leads due to a centralized and internationally recognized certification system under JAKIM, consistent global branding, and strong regulatory integration. Conversely, Indonesia, despite significant improvements, rising to third in the GIEI 2023 still faces challenges such as fragmented certification institutions, regulatory inefficiencies, and low halal literacy among MSMEs. This study contributes a comprehensive cross-national analysis and identifies key structural and operational factors contributing to performance disparities. It offers strategic recommendations to strengthen Indonesia’s halal industry ecosystem, including regulatory harmonization, digital transformation, MSME support, and enhanced international halal diplomacy.
