The Muslim Media Market Will Reach $308 Billion by 2025 — And It Is Still Underserved

Halal Times / Bitsmedia, 2024

Multiple analyses of the Muslim media and content market in 2024 projected the sector to reach $308 billion by 2025, driven by 2.5 billion Muslim smartphone users globally seeking content that reflects their identity, values, and heritage with accuracy and quality. The analyses consistently found that existing streaming platforms — despite their scale — were dramatically underserving this market, leaving a gap that Muslim-founded content platforms like Qalbox were specifically positioned to fill.

What this means for us: Our community's stories are a $308 billion market. Our founders are building the platforms to tell them. MBC ensures they build with the capital and the support they need to compete with the platforms that currently ignore us.
