Sharjah attracts Dh7.74b in FDI as project count jumps 45%

Sharjah’s success in attracting Dh7.74 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) during 2025 is translating into a massive construction and industrial boom. The 45% increase in project numbers signals a fertile market for suppliers of industrial equipment, warehouse automation, and factory machinery. For procurement managers, Sharjah is emerging as a critical hub for sourcing industrial components and localized manufacturing services.

The influx of FDI is largely directed toward expanding industrial zones, which will require significant investment in HVAC systems, power distribution units, and material handling equipment. As more multinational firms set up production lines in Sharjah, there will be an increased regional demand for high-end industrial machinery maintenance and spare parts supply chains, offering procurement professionals more local options for critical equipment needs.
