The Kosher Market is growing rapidly in Australia. Since 2003, the number of local manufacturers certified in Australia has increased from 50 to 500 and the number of products from 300 to over 14,000. In the last year alone, more than 1,000 products have become Kosher certified.
The Australian Jewish community numbers approximately 150.000 people or 30.000 households, located mainly in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and other capital cities. Surveys show that 48% of all Jews are either strictly Kosher or will select Kosher if given the option, representing a turnover of over $400 million per annum.
The total market for those who may preferentially select Kosher products in Australia exceeds 1.1 million. This market includes the 200,000 strong Jewish population of Australia and New Zealand, as well as Moslem, Hindu and Buddhist markets which number over 700,000 who will also select Kosher products if the option is available.
A January 2014 Australian Food News article reported that Kosher was the most sought after description on new products in the USA, and the Australian market has recently followed suit. Due to the rigorous auditing methods, Kosher products are widely viewed by consumers as being safer, of a higher food quality, more healthy and of a more transparent nature in terms of its ingredients.
