National Industries Park (NIP), DP World’s industrial hub in Dubai, has secured more than Dhs1bn ($272m) in new projects so far this year.

Between January and September, NIP leased over 7 million square feet of land, mostly for greenfield projects that will add new manufacturing capacity.

The expansion has pushed its tenant base past 400 companies, supporting more than 24,700 jobs.

New additions to National Industries Park

New customers in 2025 include Danube Building Materials, LT Foods Middle East and Trilogy Fab Trailers Manufacturing. The investments build on a strong 2024, when customer registrations nearly doubled year-on-year.

“Nationwide value added in manufacturing is projected at Dhs60bn in 2025, with output rising steadily under supportive industrial agendas,” said Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO, Parks & Zones, DP World GCC. “NIP’s performance highlights Dubai’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing and the strong flow of greenfield projects demonstrates investor confidence in our ability to help businesses scale quickly, creating jobs and driving industrial growth.”

Demand is being driven by construction, automotive, electronics and food manufacturing, as companies expand to serve Dubai’s growing population and large-scale infrastructure projects.

NIP is strengthening its customer services with upgraded digital systems, a refreshed brand identity and targeted regional outreach.

According to a 2023 Ernst & Young study, the park contributed 17 per cent of Dubai’s industrial output.

DP World flagship asset

With new facilities set to go online, it is expected to generate more indirect jobs and accelerate manufacturing growth across the UAE.

NIP is one of DP World’s flagship assets alongside Jebel Ali Port and Jebel Ali Free Zone. Canada’s CDPQ and Saudi Arabia’s Hassana Investment Company hold equity stakes in the three assets.
