Sharjah recorded a strong rise in foreign direct investment in the first half of 2025, with inflows reaching $1.5bn, more than triple the level of the same period last year. The emirate also registered 74 FDI projects, up from 47 a year earlier.
The consumer products sector led the way, with considerable growth in both project numbers and investment value. Food and beverage saw triple-digit expansion in project activity and steady gains in job creation, strengthening Sharjah’s role as a centre for food-related industries.
These results highlight Sharjah’s rapid diversification and growing attraction for international investors.
