National Industries Park, the DP World-run industrial zone in Dubai, has secured over AED 1 billion in new project investments between January and September 2025, underpinned by a major push into greenfield manufacturing. It has leased more than 7 million square feet of land during that period, with much of the allocation going to fresh build-outs rather than expansions of existing facilities. The tenant roster has grown to beyond 400 firms, collectively providing in excess of 24,700 jobs.
Key players joining or expanding in NIP include Danube Building Materials, LT Foods Middle East, and Trilogy Fab Trailers Manufacturing. These companies are placing new factories or production units within the park, contributing to its shift toward increased manufacturing capacity in sectors such as construction, food, automotive and electronics.
DP World’s Parks & Zones chief, Abdulla Al Hashmi, has characterised the growth as a strong indicator of investor confidence in the industrial infrastructure. He emphasised that greenfield projects “demonstrate investor confidence in our ability to help businesses scale quickly, creating jobs and driving industrial growth.”
NIP’s performance marks an acceleration compared to its 2024 metrics. Its customer registrations nearly doubled during that year, setting a precedent for this current wave of expansion.
The geographical demand emerges from Dubai’s ongoing population growth and broad investment in infrastructure. Developers of housing, logistics networks, transport, and related supply chains are pressing for local manufacturing to cut import dependency and reduce lead times. Firms entering NIP are availing of these trends, building capacity to serve both UAE domestic markets and export-oriented supply chains.
