Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) has seen a 6.5% rise in US companies joining its business district over the past 12 months, taking its American community to 740 companies.
That is almost half of the estimated 1,500 American businesses operating in the UAE, and it reinforces DMCC’s position as a leading trade hub for US firms looking to expand into fast-growing markets.
The growth comes against a backdrop of record UAE-US trade. Bilateral goods trade reached USD 39.1 billion in 2025, up 13% year-on-year, while US exports to the UAE rose 16.2% to USD 31.4 billion. The UAE remained America’s largest export market in the Middle East and North Africa for the 17th consecutive year.
DMCC recently wrapped up its Made For Trade Live roadshow in Miami, held with the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and the UAE Consulate General in Miami. The event brought together American business leaders and industry representatives to explore expansion opportunities through Dubai.
A day earlier, DMCC convened a Dubai-Latin America Trade, Investment & Private Wealth Roundtable with the consulate. Representatives from Latin American markets discussed deepening trade and investment ties, with a focus on private wealth, family offices and international business expansion.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DMCC, said the partnership between the two countries continues to deepen and that Miami and Dubai offer complementary strengths as gateways to international markets. He added that DMCC looks forward to welcoming more American businesses and helping them forge partnerships across the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
DMCC’s American community spans technology, professional services, precious metals and stones, energy, media and marketing, and crypto and Web3.
