The industrial and warehousing sector in Dubai continues to remain buoyant with strong demand levels and steady leasing activity, as per the Savills Dubai Industrial H1 2022 - Market in Minutes report. Here are some of the key findings:

1. The oil & gas sector led demand, followed by e-commerce, contract logistics and indoor farm operators.
2. In H1 2022, the real estate footprint of e-commerce operators largely expanded in the form of ‘Dark Stores’.
3. The number of vertical farm operators grew as more consumers seek local produce and amid a push for self-sufficiency and less reliance on foreign food imports.
4. Occupier demand was concentrated across traditional hotspots such as Dubai South, JAFZA, National Industries Park (NIP) and Dubai Investments Park (DIP).
5. Due to the strong rise in leasing activity and enquiry levels, rental values remained stable, with rental increases reported across many submarkets.
