RAK exports reach AED €7.6 billion in first 9 months of ’25

Ras Al Khaimah is reporting strong growth in exports, supported by expanding logistics and trade activity, according to new data from the Ras Al Khaimah Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Exports reached around AED 7.6 billion in the first nine months of 2025, showing steady demand for goods produced in the emirate.

The third quarter saw the highest movement of goods, with more than 9,400 certificates of origin issued. This reflects stable manufacturing and smooth logistics operations that are helping products move quickly to regional and global markets. Saudi Arabia remained the largest destination, followed by Oman, Kuwait, and Iraq, highlighting strong Gulf and regional trade links.

Logistics is playing a key role in this growth. Efficient ports, road links, and industrial zones are supporting faster cargo movement and lower costs for exporters. Free zones, led by RAKEZ, also contributed, with goods worth AED 567 million supplied to the UAE local market.

Trade activity is expanding beyond the Gulf to markets in Asia, Europe, and Africa, reducing dependence on a single region. Sources say Ras Al Khaimah’s focus on logistics, manufacturing, and exports is strengthening its position as a reliable trade and supply hub in the region.
