Dubai and Abu Dhabi are experiencing a significant surge in industrial and logistics asset demand, with a 185% year-on-year increase in the first half of 2024, according to a recent Knight Frank report. This growth is primarily driven by the manufacturing, construction, and logistics sectors, which collectively account for one-third of the total demand.
This upward trend aligns with Dubai’s Commercial and Logistics Land Transport Strategy 2030, which aims to double the sector’s direct contribution to the Emirate’s economy. The robust growth has also caught the attention of institutional investors from the United States, China, and Europe, attracted by yields of approximately 8.25%.
Let’s explore what this means for property investors and business owners.
Implications for Industrial Property Investors
Potential for Value Appreciation: The surging demand suggests a strong potential for property value appreciation in the medium to long term.
Competitive Market: Increased interest may lead to a more competitive buying environment, requiring prompt decision-making when opportunities arise.
Infrastructure Improvements: The focus on industrial and logistics development is likely to result in enhanced infrastructure, potentially increasing property values and functionality.
Diverse Investment Options: Growth across multiple sectors offers a wider range of investment opportunities, allowing for portfolio diversification.
Quality Enhancements: The influx of international investors may drive improvements in building quality and efficiency standards.
Implications for Business Owners
Expansion Opportunities: The increased availability of industrial spaces provides room for business growth and establishment in the UAE.
Strategic Advantage: Dubai’s position as a global trade hub, coupled with its developing logistics infrastructure, can enhance operational reach and efficiency.
Government Support: Alignment with Dubai’s 2030 strategy suggests favorable policies and potential incentives for businesses in these sectors.
Access to Modern Facilities: The surge in development is likely to result in state-of-the-art industrial facilities, enabling businesses to optimize operations and adopt new technologies.
Networking Potential: Increased international investment may lead to a growing ecosystem of suppliers, partners, and potential clients.
