The UAE has achieved a remarkable 25% growth in its industrial sector, with exports reaching Dh262 billion, including Dh90 billion in technology-based industries, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum announced, solidifying the nation’s position as the region’s leading industrial exporter.
Technology Industries Drive Dh90 Billion Export Milestone
The Vice President and Prime Minister revealed these figures through his official X account, highlighting the critical role of industrial manufacturing in building a competitive national economy. The technology-based industries sector alone contributed Dh90 billion to the total export value, demonstrating the UAE’s successful pivot toward advanced manufacturing and high-value production.
Government-Private Sector Integration Powers Industrial Growth
Sheikh Mohammed attributed the success to integration between the government legislative sector and private industrial sector, supported by exceptional digital infrastructure and a well-established financial and banking system. This collaborative approach has transformed the UAE into an industrial powerhouse capable of competing on global markets.
Strategic Investment Opportunities for Manufacturing Sector
The impressive export figures present significant opportunities for investors across multiple industrial segments. The UAE’s industrial landscape encompasses technology manufacturing, advanced production facilities, and export-oriented enterprises benefiting from world-class logistics infrastructure and strategic geographic positioning.
With 100% foreign ownership permitted in designated zones, zero personal income tax, and full profit repatriation rights, the Emirates offers attractive conditions for industrial investment. The government’s commitment to industrial development is further evidenced by the “Operation 300 Billion” initiative, targeting Dh300 billion in industrial GDP contribution by 2031.
2026 Projections Signal Continued Momentum
Looking ahead, Sheikh Mohammed expressed optimism, stating that 2026 figures will be “better and stronger”, indicating sustained government support and favorable market conditions for industrial expansion.
The manufacturing sector’s exceptional performance creates prime entry points for investors seeking exposure to the UAE’s diversified economy, particularly in high-growth technology industries, advanced manufacturing, and export-focused production facilities positioned to serve regional and international markets.
