Logistics Middle East, March 2026
by Maha Raad, Hamza El Mounhi, and Massimo Campadese
Despite recent geopolitical turbulence and slowing economic growth, global trade is not retreating: it reached a record $33 trillion in 2024. However, global trade dynamics are fundamentally changing with trade routes emerging and shifting due to geopolitical tensions, intensified competition between trade blocs, and deeper regional supply chains, especially in the energy, automotive, advanced manufacturing, and technology sectors. These developments represent enormous opportunities for the GCC countries, where logistics play a crucial role in the achievement of economic transformations and national visions.
Sitting at the crossroads of Asia, Europe, and Africa, the GCC countries have a geographically commanding position in global trade. They already handle around 18% of global trade flows ($4.3 trillion in 2023). Dubai has established itself as a world-class logistics hub, and now, the other GCC countries are investing billions in their seaports, airports, and integrated supply chain capabilities. The success of their efforts to become hubs for global and regional trade and supply chains will depend not just on assets, but on strategy. Read the rest here.
