EMB said worldwide, about 30 percent are Muslims and are growing at 1.84 percent per year.
It identified categories that offer Islamic marketing and branding, including food and beverage; finance-wholesale/retail; education; entertainment and "edutainment"; travel, tourism and leisure; medical, pharmaceuticals and beauty products and services; products for women; internet, media and digital products and services; and lifestyle and fashion products.
