Dubai Chamber of Commerce has announced a 16.8% year-on-year rise in member exports and re-exports for Q1 2025, reaching $23bn. This is a strong indicator of the emirate’s continued momentum as a global business and trade hub.
In the same period, 18,160 new companies joined the Chamber, reflecting growing investor confidence and the appeal of Dubai’s integrated, pro-business ecosystem. The Chamber also issued 204,240 Certificates of Origin, a 7% increase compared to Q1 2024.
Supporting Dubai’s ambition to position itself as a launchpad for international growth, the Chamber facilitated the global expansion of 28 local companies, up 75% from the same period last year.
The figures highlight the Chamber’s strategic role in driving export activity, attracting new businesses, and enabling international market access.
