Dubai’s DIEZ trade grows 17% to $67bn in first half of 2026

Dubai’s DIEZ trade grows 17% to $67bn in first half of 2026

Trade across the three Dubai International Economic Zones (DIEZ) surged to $67 billion in the first half of 2026, marking a 17% increase from the previous period. Re-export activities contributed notably to this growth.

  • Trade growth is measured across DIEZ's three distinct economic zones in Dubai.
  • The increase in trade volume is driven partly by a 22% rise in re-exports.
  • This expansion reflects the trade activity during the first half of 2026.

Why it matters

An increase in trade and re-export volumes within Dubai’s economic zones may influence supply chain dynamics and vendor options for SMEs, potentially lowering costs and expanding market reach in the region.
