Fareed Abdelrahman, Managing Director, Retail Destinations at Dubai Holding Asset Management, said, “Dubai’s retail sector is a key driver of economic growth, playing a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of life for residents while reinforcing the city’s appeal as a top global destination for tourists.”
“The emirate’s dynamic demographics, expanding population, and robust consumer demand have solidified its status as a leading retail powerhouse in the region and beyond. Nad Al Sheba Mall exemplifies our commitment to creating destinations that seamlessly blend modern convenience with community-centric experiences. As a strategic addition to our retail portfolio, this mall will not only meet the daily needs of visitors but also provide businesses with opportunities to thrive in a rapidly growing market,” he added.
The UAE’s retail sector continues to thrive, bolstered by economic diversification, a boom in tourism, and a growing population. According to Statista, UAE retail sales are projected to reach $139.1 billion by 2028, up from $108.1 billion in 2024, fuelled by favourable demographics, improving macroeconomic conditions, and the rise of omnichannel retailing. These trends underscore the importance of dynamic retail spaces like Nad Al Sheba Mall, which aligns with the sector’s evolving demands.
