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.
