Geography
Dubai lies within an eight-hour flight of roughly two thirds of the world’s population. For pharmaceutical products with limited shelf life or strict temperature requirements, short transit times are a decisive advantage.
Infrastructure
Dubai International Airport, Al Maktoum International Airport and Jebel Ali Port have invested in pharma-dedicated facilities: temperature-controlled handling, certified pharma corridors and cold storage. This reduces the risk of temperature excursions during transfer – the weakest point of most cold chains.
Regulatory and business framework
- Free zones allowing 100% foreign ownership and full repatriation of profits
- Clear licensing for pharmaceutical trading and consultancy activities
- A reliable legal system for international contracts
- Banking infrastructure for multi-currency trade
Access to markets
From Dubai, traders serve the GCC, the CIS and Central Asia, East and West Africa and South Asia with direct flights and established sea routes. The multicultural workforce means communication in Arabic, Russian, English, Urdu, Hindi and many other languages is readily available.
