2,709 new member companies joined Dubai Chamber of Commerce in March 2026

Dubai Chamber of Commerce, one of the three chambers operating under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, has announced that 2,709 new companies joined the chamber during March 2026. The steady growth in membership reflects Dubai’s continuing strong appeal among investors amid all market conditions.

The Real Estate, Renting, and Business Services sector accounted for 41.2% of new member companies, followed by the Trading and Services sector with 29.5%. The Construction sector ranked third with 15% of the total, while Social and Personal Services came fourth with 9.3%.

This sustained momentum reflects the impact of Dubai’s efforts over several decades in strengthening its position as a leading destination for business and investments. Despite regional and global challenges, the emirate has continued to attract a growing number of companies choosing Dubai as a base for their investments.

Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, stated: “Dubai’s economic model rests on a strong foundation that combines resilience, proactive planning, effective public-private collaboration, and deep ties with global markets. This strengthens the emirate’s ability to adapt to global shifts and continue creating new high-quality opportunities across a wide range of sectors.”

He continued: “The growing number of companies joining the chamber during March is a clear signal that Dubai’s investment momentum remains strong and that the emirate continues to inspire confidence among the global business community. This underlines the strength of its dynamic business environment, which is supported by advanced infrastructure, a sophisticated regulatory framework, and agile economic policies that respond to market developments to support growth at every stage.”

He added: “We remain committed to supporting the establishment and growth of new businesses in Dubai, while enabling companies across the emirate to adapt swiftly to change, sustain growth, and enhance their competitiveness in local and international markets. This contributes to reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global capital for trade and investment.”
