The industrial sector’s contribution to the UAE’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose to 11%, reaching Dh205 billion by the end of last year. This sector has been playing a notable role in the country’s economic diversification efforts.

This is confirmed by global competitiveness reports as they highlight the UAE’s ranking rising both regionally and regionally, according to UNIDO’s Competitiveness Industrial Performance Index (CIP).
