Key Takeaways:

  • The Transport and Logistics sector serves as a vital driver of economic and social development in the MENA region, contributing approximately 10% to total GDP and employing around 6% of the workforce directly. In Q1 2021, the logistics industry in MENA witnessed a significant surge in funding, reaching its highest quarterly amount in the past four years, with a year-on-year increase of 179%. Specifically, funding for Delivery & Logistics experienced a remarkable 525% increase compared to Q4 2020, accompanied by a 60% rise in the total number of transactions within this sector.
  • As per industry reports, during 2020, UAE ports handled over 15 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) and accommodated more than 25,000 port calls, reflecting substantial activity and growth in maritime operations. This surge was notably influenced by a substantial $12.4 billion infrastructure deal closed by Aramco with a global investor consortium.
  • Furthermore, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows in the MENA region reached USD 13.8 billion in Q2 2021, following a previous quarter inflow of USD 1.8 billion. This upward trend underscores growing investor confidence and interest in the region's transport and logistics landscape.

Logistics plays a critical role in business operations and supply chain efficiency, encompassing activities like transportation, warehousing, and order fulfilment to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of goods. The Middle East and Africa logistics market is experiencing significant growth driven by strategic geographic positioning, economic diversification efforts, and infrastructure investments. Countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia leverage their location as key trade hubs, supported by investments in non-oil sectors like manufacturing and e-commerce, driving demand for robust logistics services. Infrastructure projects such as Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the UAE's Vision 2021 allocate substantial funds to expand transportation networks, benefiting the logistics sector. Moreover, the adoption of advanced technologies like AI and IoT enhances logistics efficiency, streamlining operations and boosting market growth.

In Africa, logistics is influenced by a focus on domestic markets due to limited regional interaction, affecting international trade. The economy, largely dependent on mining, sees varied logistics development across countries like Morocco and Egypt. African logistics companies aim to connect rural communities to supply chains, creating growth opportunities. The region's airports are poised for significant growth, driven by rising air transport volumes and investment in infrastructure. Middle Eastern airports, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, lead this trend, investing in facilities and passenger experiences, supported by close partnerships with major airlines. These airports prioritise collaboration, digitisation, and sustainability, aiming for green building certifications and enhanced guest experiences. The Middle East and Africa present a dynamic landscape for logistics and aviation, characterised by growth opportunities and evolving industry strategies for the Middle East and Africa logistics market development.
