Industries in the UAE and Dubai
The UAE is known for its diversity in industries and in its safe environment, leading technology and capital intensive industries manufacturing high value products.
Oil, Chemical, plastic, crude metal, metal products, textile, leather, foodstuffs, tobacco, printing and publishing are thriving industries. The free zones have attracted a large number of foreign companies to set up manufacturing and service units in the UAE.
Oil and Gas
The United Arab Emirates ranks third with total proven oil reserves of 98.1 billion barrels and represents around 9.5% of the world’s oil reserves. Natural gas reserves are estimated at 5.8 trillion cubic meters and are the third largest gas reserves in the Middle East. UAE has witnessed tremendous growth and development since 1962. Oil revenues are, to a large extent, responsible for the superb transformation of the country and the prosperity it enjoys. A considerable amount of investment is being allocated to the energy sector to improve production, especially of gas, and to develop other related industries.
Abu Dhabi, by far, is the largest oil producer in the UAE and controls more than 85% of the total oil production of the country. Abu Dhabi National Oil Company – ADNOC - is a fully owned government company, controlled and supervised by the Supreme Petroleum Council (SPC). The Supreme Petroleum Council is responsible for formulating the UAE’s policy and overseeing its oil and gas operations and related industries.
Dubai's major oilfields offshore are Fateh, Southwest Fateh, Falah and Rashid. The Margham Field is the only onshore deposit. The Dubai Petroleum Company (DPC) is the main operator. Dubai’s oil reserves have fallen over the past 10 years and are expected to be depleted within 20 years. The state owned Dubai Natural Gas Company – DUGAS is responsible for processing natural gas produced in Dubai’s offshore oilfields as well as the gas piped from Sharjah.
Sharjah's first shipment of oil took place in June 1974, making it the third emirate to become an oil producer after Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Sharjah’s offshore Mubarak field, produces around 30,000 bpd of condensate and has gas deposits. Other important offshore fields are Saja, Moveyeid and the recently discovered Kahaif fields.

The Middle East's first bus manufacturing plant is in Dubai. The boom in the tourism industry and the growth in inter-emirate bus travel increased the demand for luxury coaches. The UAE also boasts of the first tire manufacturing plant in the region. Tire companies are among the most advanced companies in the world.
