Dubai Industrial City has secured over AED1.7 billion in investments across major economic sectors in the past year, reinforcing its role as a leading hub for manufacturing and foreign direct investment in the region.
The announcement, made during the “Make it in the Emirates” forum, highlights significant growth in sectors such as food and beverage, heavy equipment, energy solutions, automotive, and light industries. The industrial hub, part of TECOM Group PJSC, continues to support the UAE’s national industrial strategy and economic diversification goals.
Saud Abu Alshawareb, Executive Vice President – Industrial at TECOM Group, said the investments reflect the district’s global appeal to manufacturers and its contribution to Dubai’s growing status as an international FDI destination.
“We remain committed to advancing the goals of Operation 300bn, Make it in the Emirates, and the Dubai Economic Agenda ‘D33’,”
he added.
Over the past year, Dubai Industrial City has seen expansion across its six industrial zones, which cater to base metals, machinery, minerals, F&B, transport, and chemicals. The area’s specialised infrastructure—ranging from industrial land to logistics facilities—continues to attract new players.
Recent entrants include Elite Group Holding, which is investing AED100 million in a 1 million sq.ft. facility targeting the automotive and e-commerce sectors. Pure Ice Cream, known for producing Baskin-Robbins and Kwality brands, is developing an AED80 million facility, while OZON Pharmaceuticals plans to establish a AED293 million production hub.
With more than 1,100 manufacturers and over 350 operational factories, Dubai Industrial City plays a key role in regional and global supply chains. Strategically located near Jebel Ali Port, Al Maktoum International Airport, Etihad Rail, and major highways, it offers manufacturers seamless access to international markets.
