UAE - Mubasher: A total of 20% of Dubai South's EZDubai, the first e-commerce operational zone in the Middle East, is now being operated as part of its first phase where 27% is under development, according to the Dubai media office.

Launched in January 2019 at Dubai South’s Logistics District, EZDubai aims to attract the leading e-commerce companies and foreign direct investments (FDIs) and boost Dubai's position as a global hub for e-commerce.

The hub also offers a range of logistics facilities and business solutions to start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and multinationals.

Spanning over a total area of 340,000 square metres, the e-commerce hub includes e-fulfilment centres, infrastructure for repair and return centres, supply centres, and business blocks.

Moreover, the zone has enabled investors to have access to cross-continental distribution networks by being extended to high growth markets in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (MEASA) region.

The companies, which are currently operating from EZDubai, include DHL Express, Aramex, Amazon, Fetchr, Yunda, First cry, and Triboo.

The CEO of the Logistic District at Dubai South, Mohsen Ahmad, remarked: "The establishment of EZDubai has bridged the gap in e-commerce, not only in Dubai but the GCC as well. The ultra-modern infrastructure, regulatory framework, connectivity, and ease in logistics are phenomenal and will place the UAE at the pinnacle of the global e-commerce industry."

Ahmad added: "E-commerce is set to contribute AED 12 billion to Dubai ‘s GDP by 2023 and having a fully-fledged operational facility like EZDubai demonstrates the ability of the region to manage and facilitate this growth."
