UAE’s Manufacturing Sector
Enabling a flourishing industrial and manufacturing economy has long been a strategic priority for the UAE. This is made clear by the number of strategic programs introduced by the government particularly in recent times. This constant push has led to the country’s manufacturing base holding a significant position in the Arab world.
Another key indicator of growth for the industry has been the introduction of Operation 300bn UAE. Launched in March 2021, the national operation seeks to expand the UAE manufacturing sector’s contribution to GDP from AED 133bn to AED 300bn over a 10-year period.
In addition to creating jobs and driving exports, the manufacturing sector has the potential to become a major source of private and foreign investment.
