UAE industrial exports reached a record 262 billion dirhams

UAE industrial exports reached an unprecedented 262 billion dirhams in 2025, indicating a 25% growth compared to the previous year. This figure has more than doubled since the establishment of the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology in 2020.

Exports of medium and high-tech industries reached 92 billion dirhams, showing a 42% growth. This figure achieved the target for 2031 six years ahead of schedule and reflects the success of the UAE's national industrial policies.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said: “The UAE is an industrial power that progresses with a strong integration between government legislation and the private sector, exceptional digital infrastructure, and a robust financial and banking system. Our figures in 2026 will be even stronger.”

These achievements are a direct result of the initiatives of the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, led by the “Make it in the Emirates” initiative. This initiative aims to localize strategic and priority industries and stimulate high-quality industrial investment.

The national program for domestic value, implemented under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry and in collaboration with strategic partners, has directed costs towards the domestic economy. This program has increased national content in the supply chain and empowered industrial and service companies in the UAE.
