[Alpha Biz= Kim Jisun] DHL Group announced on June 17 that it will invest more than €500 million in the Middle East—particularly in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates—by 2030. The investment is part of the company’s long-term roadmap outlined in its “Strategy 2030” announced last October.
This strategic move underscores the region's growing importance in global trade, especially given its advantageous geographic position and rising economic potential. The investment will span DHL’s four business divisions: DHL Express, DHL Global Forwarding, DHL Supply Chain, and DHL eCommerce, significantly enhancing logistics infrastructure across the region.
The group aims to expand transport and freight networks, upgrade infrastructure, and improve service capabilities to support customers’ sustainable growth and maximize trade opportunities both within and beyond the region.
DHL currently offers a wide range of logistics and transportation services in the Middle East, including express delivery, air/ocean/ground freight, warehousing and fulfillment, distribution, customs clearance, life sciences and healthcare logistics, and e-commerce solutions.
The Middle East is increasingly viewed as a strategic trade hub linking Asia, Europe, and the Americas, as well as a gateway to Africa. The region’s logistics growth is further driven by expanding exports and rising foreign investment.
DHL also sees significant growth opportunities beyond traditional oil and gas sectors, especially in renewable energy and electrification initiatives. By leveraging its local expertise, advanced warehouse and transport networks, digital platforms, and automation technologies, DHL aims to offer flexible and resilient supply chain solutions to support the region’s transformation.
