A recent report issued by JLL revealed that the UAE’s industrial and logistics real estate market is experiencing strong growth, driven by rising demand for high-quality institutional assets, supported by national industrial strategies and continued investment in infrastructure.
The report noted that the United Arab Emirates has strengthened its position as a global logistics hub thanks to major transport, rail, and integrated logistics platform projects. Both Dubai and Abu Dhabi have benefited from this growth due to their strategic locations and increasing demand.
The expansion of e-commerce, population growth, and the non-oil economy have increased the need for modern warehouses and flexible storage solutions. At the same time, the market is facing a supply shortage, particularly in Dubai’s industrial zones, which are nearing full occupancy alongside rising rental rates.
The report emphasized that the continuation of government initiatives such as the Operation 300bn project and the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport are enhancing the sector’s attractiveness and supporting the sustainability of its growth in the coming years.
