UAE Logistics and Warehousing Market Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the UAE Logistics and Warehousing Market is estimated to reach USD 25.19 billion by 2032 with a CAGR of 7.08%.
Due to its strategic location on a transcontinental trade route and its multi-modal connectivity, the UAE has a robust freight forwarding sector. Due to the growth of sea ports and the creation of free zones, sea freight currently accounts for the majority of the volume in the freight forwarding industry. In terms of revenue, the UAE's freight forwarding business is dominated by industry and retail. Due to increased expenditures in the manufacturing sector of the economy, the warehousing market in the UAE has expanded. To guarantee quick delivery and effective flow of goods across borders, warehouses are generally situated close to the free zone. For handling particular products, such as medications, the storage businesses must obtain a license.The UAE's courier, express, and parcel sector has grown astronomically as a result of rising technology, automation adoption, high purchasing power, and rising mobile and internet usage. Due to escalating technical breakthroughs, favourable consumer demographics, and significant mobile and internet penetration, the e-commerce logistics business in the United Arab Emirates has undergone exponential expansion. E-commerce boom in the UAE is also largely attributed to the country's high reliance on overseas trade. The creation of free zones for e-commerce sectors is another way that the government has promoted the expansion of e-commerce.Contract logistics companies now have more opportunities thanks to rising freight volumes, rising value-added service demand, economic diversification, and rising technical trends.
Due to the UAE's strategic location, rail construction, growing infrastructural development, rising foreign investments, and surging e-commerce, the logistics and warehousing business in the UAE is anticipated to undergo sustained growth. New players are likely to enter the logistics sector, and existing players may combine or be acquired. The UAE's cold chain markets will be impacted by the country's rising demand for perishable goods as a result of increased need for quick delivery. Additionally, growing manufacturing sector investments that support economic diversification would create a growth trajectory for the UAE's logistics and warehousing business.
Impact of COVID-19 on the UAE Logistics and Warehousing Market
The COVID-19 crisis has had a significant impact on supply chains around the world, but the UAE has been slightly less affected. The region's logistics industry is anticipated to expand as a result of new technologies like automation, blockchain, and the internet of things that will be discovered to increase efficiency, improve customer experience, and raise the level of service. Given the anticipated increase in medical product demands following COVID-19 and the growing prevalence of e-commerce in the nation, the pharmaceutical logistics sector and the e-commerce logistics segment are likely to drive growth in the future.
