The halal industry in Indonesia is expanding rapidly across food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, finance, tourism, and lifestyle, in line with the country’s ambition to become a global halal hub. Therefore, this research aimed to apply bibliometric analysis to 296 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2007 and 2025 to map trends, authorship patterns, institutional contributions, thematic developments, and collaboration networks. Data were processed using the Bibliometrix package in R. The results showed that there was an annual growth rate of 24.81 percent, with contributions from 1,001 authors across 161 sources and an international co-authorship rate of 34.46%. Research output intensified after 2020, peaking in 2023–2024, with leading contributions from Universitas Airlangga, Universitas Diponegoro, and Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember. The Journal of Islamic Marketing was reported as the most influential outlet. Highly cited works emphasized halal consumption, certification, supply chain integrity, and blockchain-based traceability. Thematic analysis suggested halal tourism, certification, and supply chain management as dominant clusters, with topics such as digital innovation, food safety, and gendered consumption. Collaboration networks showed strong ties with Malaysia and broader connections to Europe, North America, and Asia. Halal industry research in Indonesia has matured into a multidisciplinary and globally connected field, moving from foundational analysis to governance, innovation, and sustainable development.
