A report released by Dubai Chamber revealed how the UAE logistics and warehousing sector played and will continue to play a significant role in global efforts to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic. The country’s well established air cargo routes, excellent maritime freight connectivity, and a mature warehousing and logistics network are key to supporting global communities’ weather and push back despite the wave of restrictions put in place because of the prevalent health scenario.
While warehousing in the UAE saw steady growth, especially with the excellent work being done by the nation’s free zone bodies, in terms of logistics, the courier, express and parcel market saw exponential growth in the period as well, thanks to technological advancements, more automation within the sector and increasing mobile penetration. These factors, including a spurt in new trends resulting from the aforementioned pointers, are only expected to bolster, support and help the sector expand.
