The development of the halal market potential makes many companies want to enter and win the competition. Limited research on brand equity in halal products makes it challenging to determine strategies to achieve it. Halal brand equity is essential to gain a competitive advantage and significant margin opportunity. SEM path analysis tests hypotheses related to variables that affect Halal Brand Equity. This study involved 243 respondents. The test results show that Halal Brand Image affects Halal Brand Satisfaction and Halal Brand Trust. However, Halal Brand Satisfaction does not affect Halal Brand Equity. It also fails to mediate the effect of Halal Brand Image on Halal Brand Equity. The novelty of this research is that Halal Brand Loyalty successfully mediates the effect of Halal Brand Trust on Halal Brand Equity. So that to achieve Halal Brand Equity, companies should focus on Halal Brand Image, Halal Brand Trust, and Halal Brand Loyalty.
