The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, particularly Dubai, is poised to experience a retail boom in the coming years. According to a recent Strategy & Middle East report, shopping spending in the GCC could reach $300 billion by 2030, presenting a significant opportunity for the region's commercial real estate sector.

Dubai, a leading GCC city, has already established itself as a global shopping destination. The emirate records a retail spend per capita of approximately $14,000, second only to New York City. Additionally, around 21 percent of Dubai's workforce is employed in the retail sector, the highest among the six leading shopping destinations analyzed in the report.

Opportunities for Commercial Real Estate

The potential growth in the retail sector presents an opportunity for Dubai's commercial real estate market to thrive. As the city aims to attract more tourists and residents, there will be a growing demand for retail spaces, including shopping malls, high-street stores, and entertainment venues.

Impact on Commercial Real Estate

The growth of the retail sector in Dubai will significantly impact the city's commercial real estate market. Developers and investors will need to adapt to the changing market dynamics and focus on creating innovative and experiential retail spaces that cater to the evolving needs of shoppers.

The report highlights the importance of enhancing the shopping experience with culinary, entertainment, and cultural venues to enrich the overall journey for visitors. This shift towards experiential retail will drive the demand for mixed-use developments that integrate retail, entertainment, and hospitality components.
