The Guardian reports that in the past few years there has been “an explosion” in businesses that focus on the growing demands and trends of the Muslim consumer market. Ali Imdad was a contestant in the mega popular television show “Great British Bake Off” and recently opened a dessert parlor in Birmingham, England which he says is a clear reflection of the rising disposable income of young Muslims. “People want to spend money on high-quality products and experiences.”

Mr. Imdad says he is planning to participate in the “Muslim Lifestyle Expo” which takes place later this month in Manchester, and showcases businesses targeting the burgeoning Muslim market which is forecast to be worth more than £2 trillion by the end of this decade.
