Jafza records 19 percent growth in trade in 2021
DP World’s Jebel Ali Free Zone generated over 454.7 billion dirhams ($124 billion) in trade in 2021, up 19 percent from the previous year. In 2020, Jafza facilitated 382.8 billion dirhams in trade, Emirates News Agency reported.
There were also 18.6 percent more new companies registered in the free zone, bringing the total to more than 9,000.
The retail and general trading segment accounted for over 25 percent of the new companies registered in Jafza. Almost 10 percent of the rise was in electronics and electrical, and more than 9 percent in vehicles and transport.
There were also significant improvements in trade in several sectors in the free zone. Construction materials, consumer electronics, and auto parts and spares ranked among the top five sectors, WAM said.
Considering that Jafza’s trade grew in a challenging year when ports worldwide dealt with congestion due to lockdowns and other restrictions, it said the growth gained even more significance.
The proximity of Jafza to Jebel Ali Port, Al Maktoum International Airport, and its multimodal connectivity model ensured smooth trade flow from Jafza, WAM added.
