DUBAI, April 5, 2026 (WAM) -- The Dubai Chamber of Commerce, one of three chambers operating under the umbrella of Dubai Chambers, announced that 2,709 new companies joined the chamber in March 2026. The steady growth in membership reflects Dubai's ongoing strong appeal among investors across all market conditions.

The Construction sector was third with 15% of the total, and Social and Personal Services ranked fourth with 9.3%. This sustained momentum reflects the impact of Dubai's efforts over several decades to strengthen its position as a leading destination for business and investment. Despite regional and global challenges, the emirate continues to attract an increasing number of companies choosing Dubai as a hub for their investments. Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, stated, “Dubai's economic model is based on a strong foundation that combines resilience, proactive planning, effective public-private collaboration, and deep ties to global markets.

This underscores the strength of a dynamic business environment supported by advanced infrastructure, a sophisticated regulatory framework, and agile economic policies responsive to market developments.” He further stated, “While we continue to support the establishment and growth of new businesses in Dubai, we ensure that companies across the emirate can quickly adapt to change, sustain growth, and enhance their competitiveness in local and international markets. This contributes to reinforcing Dubai's position as a global hub for trade and investment.” As part of efforts to enhance the quality and efficiency of services offered to the business community, Dubai Chambers can benefit from DC Connect, an advanced digital platform that consolidates all chamber services into a single user-friendly portal.
