Dubai Wholesale City is the largest global wholesale hub, spanning 550 million square feet near Dubai South and Al Maktoum International Airport. Launched in 2016, this development is designed to strengthen the UAE’s position in the global wholesale trade sector, which is projected to reach $4.9 trillion.
The city features specialised integrated trading parks and an international trade exhibition facility, serving as a vital link between four continents due to its proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport and Jebel Ali Port. It aims to host over 15,000 wholesale traders across various sectors.
Dubai Wholesale City includes ‘Country Pavilions’ showcasing commercial centres and malls with products from countries such as India, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, Australia, China, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and South America. The development caters to strategic sectors with dedicated boulevards for food, construction materials, electronics, furniture, machinery, vehicles, textiles, and more.
Additionally, it will operate the region’s largest e-commerce platform for wholesale trade, enhancing the UAE’s role in the growing global e-commerce market. The city offers advanced infrastructure, warehousing, storage, and support services, facilitating seamless business-to-business connections worldwide.
Dubai Wholesale City complements other integrated business hubs in Dubai and benefits from the city’s advanced logistics and strategic location near key cargo gateways. It is expected to generate employment opportunities across trade-related industries including logistics, financial services, aviation, hospitality, and business tourism.
