Dubai stands as a global benchmark for efficiency in transport and logistics in Port News 28/04/2026 Members of the Dubai Delivery Business Group, which operates under the umbrella of Dubai Chamber of Commerce, have affirmed that the continuity of delivery and last-mile logistics services in Dubai highlights the emirate’s high level of operational resilience and strong competitive advantages. The members noted that a combination of several factors has enabled the delivery sector to effectively serve rapidly growing demand from both consumers and businesses while maintaining efficient and sustainable operations, despite current global challenges. These include proactive government support, world-class logistics infrastructure, and strong coordination between the public and private sectors. The business leaders noted that Dubai has cultivated an enabling environment where the delivery sector can thrive through a combination of agile regulations, advanced technology, and strategic investment. They pointed out that this has allowed operators not only to sustain services, but also to scale and innovate, reinforcing Dubai’s status as a global leader in logistics and commerce. The close coordination and support provided by Dubai Chamber of Commerce was also highlighted as instrumental in addressing operational needs and fostering a unified response to an evolving market landscape.

Inderyas noted that despite global uncertainties, the sector remains robust and highly adaptable: “Current capacity is sufficient and supported by ongoing investments in fleet expansion, warehousing, and technology. Looking ahead, the sector is well-positioned to scale further, leveraging innovation and data-driven logistics to meet increasing demand across both consumer and business segments.” She also praised the government’s critical role in mitigating risks by ensuring business continuity and enhancing trade flows, which has solidified Dubai’s position as a reliable global logistics hub.
