Middle East Logistics Market Trends & Drivers:

• Middle East countries are shifting from oil and gas reliance to manufacturing, innovation, and logistics, with ports evolving into global trade and transport hubs. The region's strategic position as a gateway between Asia, Europe, and Africa is driving massive infrastructure investments. Saudi Arabia's NEOM project alone includes a 170-kilometer logistics corridor, while the UAE's National Logistics Strategy aims to position the country among the top 10 global logistics hubs. These initiatives are creating thousands of jobs and attracting international logistics giants to establish regional headquarters, transforming traditional supply chain models into tech-enabled operations.
• E-commerce growth and digital transformation are reshaping logistics demand across the Middle East. Online retail sales in the region exceeded 50 billion USD, driving last-mile delivery innovations and warehouse automation. Companies like Noon and Amazon have established mega distribution centers in Dubai and Riyadh, each spanning over 100,000 square meters. The rise of quick commerce, with delivery promises under 30 minutes, is pushing logistics providers to invest in micro-fulfillment centers and drone delivery trials. This digital shift is particularly strong in the UAE, where e-commerce penetration reached 85% among urban consumers.
• Logistics is high on the agenda throughout the GCC, and with good reason: it is a formidable growth engine. Government-backed initiatives like Saudi Vision 2030 and UAE Centennial Plan are allocating substantial resources to logistics infrastructure. The King Salman Global Port project represents a 20-billion-dollar investment in maritime logistics, while Qatar's logistics cities prepare for sustained trade growth beyond major sporting events. Regional free trade agreements and the establishment of 15 new special economic zones are reducing barriers and encouraging cross-border logistics partnerships, making the Middle East increasingly attractive for global supply chain operations.
