The Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department has announced a significant and unprecedented surge in the industrial real estate market within the emirate. The total transaction value soared from approximately 4.9 billion dirhams in 2024 to over 9.24 billion dirhams in 2025, reflecting an astounding growth rate of 88.7%. This trend highlights the increasing confidence of investors and the appealing nature of the industrial investment environment in Sharjah.
This announcement came during a panel discussion titled “The Future of Industrial Real Estate,” organized by the department as part of the Sharjah Real Estate Exhibition (Ikras 2026). The session was attended by a group of officials and experts and moderated by Dr. Abed Al-Salam Al-Hamadi.
Obaid Al-Mazloom, Director of the Real Estate Project Regulation Department at the Sharjah Real Estate Registration Department, emphasized that this remarkable growth is not only about an increase in the number of industrial properties but also represents a qualitative shift in investment size and project quality. He stated that the number of traded industrial properties rose to 4,416 in 2025, alongside the presence of 14 industrial real estate development projects in Sharjah, which include industrial lands, integrated complexes, and multi-use warehouses.
He pointed out that flexible regulations and balanced governance have played a crucial role in supporting this growth by providing a stable investment environment that encourages both local and international investors while ensuring optimal utilization of industrial land. This positively impacts trading volume and market value of industrial real estate.
Moreover, he indicated that sustainability and innovation have become fundamental pillars in the development of industrial areas in Sharjah. This is achieved through adopting smart solutions for energy management, infrastructure, and the utilization of modern technologies, which contribute to reducing operational costs and enhancing the long-term value of real estate assets in alignment with sustainable development goals and the emirate’s future vision.
The panel discussion also featured Engineer Abdul Rahman Al-Suwaiji, Director of Planning Studies at the Sharjah Planning and Survey Department. He addressed topics related to the expansion of industrial infrastructure, criteria for allocating industrial land, and the integration of urban planning with industrial and logistical growth. He confirmed that Sharjah hosts about 40% of the total industrial establishments in the country, supported by comprehensive infrastructure and a strategic logistical location.
