DP WORLD Builds resilience in global petrochemicals through advanced trade and logistics solutions
Global economies are facing increased pressure from uncertainty in oil prices, capacity, and supply chain disruptions. The petrochemicals sector is not exempt from these global challenges. Despite this, Jebel Ali Free Zone’s (Jafza) petrochemical sector witnessed stability. One indication of this is the increase in export volumes in 2021, which grew 52 per cent year-on-year. Additionally, last year, the free zone alone accounted for over 50 per cent of Dubai’s Polymers and Petrochemicals trade, valued at more than AED 49 billion.

trade lanes and the ecosystem at the Jebel Ali hub, give the industry the most attractive logistic
proposition. Additionally, its vast network of global liners has contributed to the success of the
UAE and the region.
