The city has launched one of the world’s largest automotive trade destinations, a 22 million square foot Dubai Auto Market that will house 1,500 showrooms and a full automotive services ecosystem.
The project was unveiled under the directives of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, with Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, witnessing the launch.
Developed by DP World, the new market is designed to become the world’s most advanced automotive hub, aligned with Dubai’s ambition to strengthen its role as a global leader in trade, logistics and economic growth under the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
Sheikh Maktoum also launched the visual identity of the Dubai Auto Market, emphasising Dubai’s position as one of the world’s leading commercial centres.
He said the new market is “a significant addition” that will advance Dubai’s role as a rapidly growing automotive trade hub, enabled by DP World’s global logistics network.
He explained that the facility is conceived as an all-in-one destination for investors and automotive enthusiasts, offering state-of-the-art showrooms, warehouses, light industrial clusters, major event spaces and advanced logistics capabilities that will attract new investments and support economic diversification under D33.
The market will feature 1,500 showrooms, dedicated workshop zones, warehouses, multi-storey parking, a convention centre, hotel, auction house and extensive F&B and retail areas. Once fully operational, it will handle more than 800,000 vehicles annually.
