In recent years, the Middle East is rapidly emerging as a new blue ocean market for global cross-border e-commerce. Gulf countries represented by the UAE and Saudi Arabia have attracted a large number of Chinese cross-border sellers with their high per capita income, strong online consumption capacity and strong government support for digital transformation.
According to Statista data, the total sales of e-commerce in the Middle East will exceed US$50 billion in 2024, with an annual growth rate of more than 15%. Especially in the UAE, online shopping has become one of the mainstream consumption methods, and the number of active users of platforms such as Amazon.ae, Noon, SHEIN, and Temu continues to grow. The Saudi market also performed well. Driven by the strategy of "Vision 2030", the e-commerce infrastructure has been rapidly improved, attracting a large number of overseas sellers to enter. Overall, the cross-border demand of Middle Eastern consumers for fashion, beauty, 3C electronics, household daily necessities and other categories continues to grow.
But at the same time, the logistics problems in the Middle East market have gradually emerged: long distances, complex customs clearance, difficult delivery, and opaque return procedures have made many sellers "sigh in despair" in actual operations. In order to improve timeliness, reduce costs and enhance user experience, more and more sellers are turning their attention to "localized logistics solutions", and overseas warehouses set up in Dubai are becoming an important fulcrum for breaking through the Middle East market.
Why Dubai?
As a transportation and trade hub in the Middle East, Dubai has world-leading infrastructure: a three-dimensional transportation network by sea, land and air, an efficient customs clearance system, and an open business environment, making it a natural logistics center for cross-border e-commerce to radiate the entire Middle East. Especially for Chinese sellers, choosing to set up a warehouse in Dubai can not only achieve localized sales and local delivery, but also efficiently integrate warehousing, customs clearance, last-mile delivery, returns and exchanges, and greatly improve fulfillment efficiency.
