The goods and services market in the country has seen notable activity since the middle of this year, with more than 3,000 new trademarks registered with the Ministry of Economy and Tourism during July and August.
The registration of trademarks has continued to showcase a vibrant market trend since the start of the year, reflecting an increasing demand for goods and services and revealing the confidence of providers and producers in the market’s capacity to meet growing demand alongside the desire to register more trademarks for the goods and services being offered locally.
According to data on registered trademarks provided by the Ministry of Economy and Tourism, over 2,000 new trademarks were registered across various economic sectors and vital commercial activities in July alone.
Additionally, the monthly report on registered trademarks indicated that nearly 1,000 new trademarks were registered just in August, continuing the energetic trend observed in the goods and services sector throughout this year. The diversity of newly registered trademarks has become apparent since mid-year.
A significant proportion of these trademarks originated from real estate development companies, alongside food industry trademarks and those from commercial enterprises, shopping centers, as well as investment firms and organizations operating within technology and electronics sectors, highlighting innovation.
Trademarks were also recorded in the financial sector, covering banks and insurance activities, with goods sectors including automobiles, maintenance, clothing, gold, and cosmetics, in addition to the restaurant industry. Furthermore, sectors providing services such as tourism, education, hotels, construction, healthcare, and companies involved in recycling were also included.
The newly registered trademarks represented a mix of prominent national companies, with free zone companies accounting for a portion of the registrations during this period. This included a significant number of Gulf and foreign companies, showcasing a range of nationalities to meet the extensive domestic trade demands or to expand as a regional platform for goods distribution to other markets, as well as trademarks from several newly established companies in the local market.
