UAE investors account for half of Sharjah's real estate trading value

Emirati investors dominated the Sharjah real estate market in the first half of 2026, contributing Dh 14.9 billion, or over 50% of the total trade value. This surge in domestic investment highlights a robust pipeline of residential and commercial projects currently under development in the emirate.

For industrial equipment buyers and procurement professionals, this indicates a sustained demand for construction machinery, HVAC systems, and electrical infrastructure. Procurement teams should anticipate tighter lead times for heavy equipment and building materials within the Northern Emirates as local developers accelerate project timelines to capitalize on this investment influx.
