Dubai Media Office, 21 April 2026: The Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) announced strong annual results for 2025, reporting a 19.4% increase in revenue and a 17.8% rise in net profit compared to 2024. These results underscore the resilience of its operating model and the strength of its integrated economic ecosystem.

DIEZ’s robust performance was driven by improved operational efficiency and the increasing attractiveness of its three economic zones, Dubai Airport Free Zone, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai CommerCity. The total number of companies registered within the DIEZ ecosystem grew by 24.6% by the end of 2025. Meanwhile, the total workforce across companies operating within its zones reached 106,359 employees, a 26.2% increase from the previous year, signalling broader expansion of economic activity and a strengthening labour market.

Driving Dubai’s competitiveness
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), said the 2025 results further reinforce DIEZ’s economic contribution and its role as a key driver of Dubai’s global competitiveness in trade and investment. He added that this progress aligns with the leadership’s vision to advance sustainable growth and economic diversification.

He noted that the strong revenue performance also demonstrates DIEZ’s ability to translate opportunities into tangible value through a flexible business environment, advanced infrastructure, and smart solutions that enhance business efficiency and support expansion into regional and global markets.

His Highness further emphasised that Dubai’s economy remains resilient, diversified, and future-oriented, highlighting the importance of accelerating innovation and digital transformation while maximising value creation in priority sectors. These efforts support the objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda D33 and reinforce the emirate’s ambition to rank among the world’s top three urban economies over the next decade.
He added that DIEZ will continue to enhance its institutional capabilities and advance its integrated ecosystem to sustain growth and competitiveness, with a focus on empowering businesses and strengthening the contribution of economic zones to Dubai’s long-term economic resilience.

Sustainable value creation
His Excellency Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni, Executive Chairman of the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ), stated that the Authority’s 2025 performance reflects a disciplined operational approach focused on financial sustainability and efficiency enhancement, alongside optimising returns from its services and institutional offerings.

He added that the simultaneous growth in revenue and profitability underscores DIEZ’s ability to generate sustainable value while maintaining balanced and adaptive growth aligned with global market dynamics, including evolving supply chains and trade patterns.

Al Zarooni highlighted that the increase in the number of companies and employees within the ecosystem serves as a clear indicator of strong investment attractiveness and the quality of the operational environment across DIEZ’s zones.
