The demand for kosher food is increasing day by day with health consciousness among people and dietary restrictions of Jewish people. Market players have adopted various strategies such as inclusion of kosher food in their offerings to serve the variety of demands. Hospitality groups have joined hands with kosher providers to include it in their menu and serve increasing influx of tourists in the city. Moreover, it has been included in the supermarket to offer convenience in finding variety of food at one stop. Government administrations have begun included kosher food in free meal programs to serve kosher-observant population. The demand would continue to rise in coming years. According to the report published by Allied Market Research, the kosher food market is expected to reach $25.6 billion by 2026. Following are some of the activities taking place across the globe.
Determining business opportunities and offering products as per the demand can result in growth. With normalization deal taking place between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), hotels groups in UAE decided to partner with kosher food providers as the demand from Israeli visitors would increase with their visits. The Habtoor Hospitality group joined hands with Elli’s Kosher Kitchen to offer kosher food at its different hotels such as Hilton Dubai, V Hotel, Habtoor Palace Dubai, LXR Hotel and Resorts, Habtoor Grand Resort, and others. Following the visit of Israeli journalists and few members of the U.S. delegation to Abu Dhabi, the hospitality group took the decision to partner with the Dubai-based firm.
The Orthodox Union (OU) Kosher will supervise the food served in these hotels. The kosher certification agency outlined that the Jewish community in the UAE has been growing and the influx of tourist would increase in the coming years. So, there is a need for certification and supervision. Saudi Arabia permitted all countries to cross over its airspace to or from UAE. This will reduce the time for Israeli people to visit the UAE and it will result in increased influx of tourists.

The Department of Education decided to provide kosher food at selected 10 schools in Brooklyn and Queens. The DOE officials confirmed the inclusion of the kosher meal and serving sites following a letter sent to Mayor de Blasio by the Jewish Caucus of the New York City Council to include kosher food in free meals.
