Within the Jabel Ali Freezone, the petrochemical sector exhibits a strong presence, encompassing 532+ companies from 70+ countries and supported by a workforce exceeding 5,600 professionals. This collaborative effort significantly enhances Dubai’s standing as the second-most crucial emirate in petrochemical production.

A pivotal factor driving the industry’s sustained growth is the strategic positioning of Jabel Ali Freezone, strategically located at the intersection of Asia, Africa, and Europe. This advantageous location attracts global oil and gas companies, contributing approximately 70% to the UAE’s foreign trade in petrochemicals.

The Port of Jabel Ali plays an equally crucial role in advancing the success of the petrochemical industry, both domestically and internationally, catering to over 5,200 customers from the port and the industry. The port’s substantial import and export activities revolve around key petrochemical products such as bitumen, plastic, tanning/dyeing extracts, and a variety of organic and inorganic chemicals.
