Industry Is A Pillar of The Economy: Performance Indicators

The Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030 aims to transform Dubai's industrial sector into an economic growth engine by boosting competitiveness. Key goals include generating AED 18 billion in additional value added from manufacturing and boosting exports by AED 16 billion. Industry, including manufacturing, construction, electricity, water, gas, mining and quarrying, forms Dubai's second largest economic sector. Construction value added grew by 4.5% in 2018, higher than overall GDP growth. Dubai has one of the world's highest per capita electricity consumption rates due to its urban population and climate, but conservation programs have lowered consumption from 15,110 kWh per capita in 2014 to 13,960 kWh in 2018.
