Abu Dhabi: SiltaNews – News Desk
The National Industries Park (NIP), the industrial hub of DP World in Dubai, has attracted new projects worth more than AED 1 billion since the beginning of the year.
Between January and September 2025, the park leased more than 7 million square feet of land, the majority of which was allocated to new industrial projects aimed at enhancing manufacturing capabilities.
Thanks to this growing demand, the number of tenants in the complex has increased to more than 400, together supporting more than 24,700 jobs. Abdulla Al Hashimi, Chief Operating Officer, Parks and Zones, DP World, GCC, expects the added value of the UAE’s manufacturing sector to reach approximately AED 160 billion by 2025, with production continuing to grow supported by ambitious industrial policies.
He said, “The results of the National Industries Park highlight Dubai’s established position as a leading hub for advanced manufacturing. The strong influx of new projects, particularly greenfield projects, and the growing investor confidence underscore our ability to support business expansion, create job opportunities, and accelerate industrial growth.”
This increased demand is attributed to the remarkable growth in the construction, automotive, electronics, and food processing sectors, as companies expand to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population and keep pace with large-scale infrastructure projects in the emirate.
The 2023 Economic Impact Study, conducted by Ernst & Young, showed that the National Industries Complex contributes 17% of Dubai’s total industrial production. With the new facilities coming online, the complex is expected to create more indirect jobs and accelerate the growth of the manufacturing sector across the UAE.
