Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows surged, reaching nearly US$30.7 billion in 2023, projected to hit US$35 billion in 2024. Key sectors include technology (57.4% of FDI), financial services, and business services. Foreign trade exceeded US$762.3 billion, marking the first time exceeding AED 2.8 trillion.

High growth also occurred in Dubai Investments Park (+48%) and Dubai Industrial City (+38%). Warehousing and logistics demand peaked in Q4 2024, accounting for 34% of annual demand, with manufacturing and logistics dominating. Abu Dhabi's industrial sector experienced rent increases, with KEZAD Mussafah leading at a 57% surge to AED 500–600 psm. Projects like CMA Terminals Khalifa Port contributed to capacity growth.
