New Brunswick, NJ (WebWire) October 5, 2011 – Attendees at this year’s American Muslim Consumer Conference (AMCC), which will be held on October 29th at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in New Brunswick, NJ, will get an exclusive offer for DinarStandard’s in depth study titled, “American Muslim Market: Business Landscape & Consumer Needs”.   DinarStandard is a prominent global Muslim market research and advisory firm specializing in the emerging Muslim markets.

The AMCC event, in its third year, promotes dialog and raises awareness of this multicultural niche market where many mainstream companies are now seeing a growing opportunity.

“We are proud to release this grass-root American Muslim market business environment study exclusively at the AMCC event.  AMCC has become the go-to event to network, understand and navigate the niche American Muslim market,” said Rafi-uddin Shikoh, CEO/Managing Director of DinarStandard.com

The Study for the first time will look at the state of business activity addressing American Muslim needs in the top ten States estimated by DinarStandard to represent 80% of the American Muslim population.    The top ten states include California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Texas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and Massachusetts.

The study will be looking at the varying Muslim demographic and market dynamic profiles of these ten states.  New Jersey is identified as having the largest Muslim segment among the top 10 States as a percentage of the total state population, at 1.4 %.  The study will also look at the largest group of Muslims in a State, i.e. California, with an estimated 17.3 % of the total Muslim population in America.  Other states being highlighted include New York, where about 14.9 % of American Muslims make up 1.2 % of total population and Illinois where about 8.4 % of American Muslims make up 1 % of the total population.

Besides the landscape of key players serving this diverse and fragmented market, the study will also show consumer perception of key brands on US ‘Halal’ (allowable for Muslims) food, finance, and select other sectors.

Since the launch of its first event in 2009, the American Muslim Consumer Conference (AMCC) has been working to understand and address the needs of American Muslim Consumers and promoting companies and entrepreneurs who are developing products for this market. The conference is held annually attracting over 350 to 400 diverse attendees from community members and leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and marketing and advertising executives.

This year’s speakers include executives from Edible Arrangements, Walmart, Midamar Corporation, Best Buy, Thompson Reuters among others.
