This surge in Indian businesses highlights Dubai’s continued appeal as a thriving market for investment and entrepreneurship, offering a vibrant business ecosystem and strategic location for global expansion. The number of new companies from Pakistan (6,061), Egypt (3,611), and Syria (2,062) further underscores Dubai's attraction for investors from across the region.

The sectoral breakdown of new members reveals that trade and services remain dominant, accounting for 41.5% of all new registrations, followed by the real estate, renting, and business services sector at 33.3%. The construction sector also saw significant contributions, ranking third at 10.4%.
