Dubai-based developer Emaar has reported its strongest financial performance on record, posting AED49.6 billion ($13.5 billion) in revenue for 2025, a sharp 40% increase compared to 2024, driven largely by robust growth in its domestic operations.
The property giant also announced record profitability levels, highlighting sustained demand in the UAE real estate sector.
Profitability hits new highs
Emaar recorded its highest-ever earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) at AED25.6 billion ($7 billion) — up 33% year-on-year.
Meanwhile, net profit before tax reached AED25.7 billion ($7 billion), marking a 36% annual increase and underscoring strong margins across its developments, retail, and hospitality businesses.
Local market powers growth
The company said the performance was primarily fueled by strong domestic demand, reflecting continued investor confidence and buyer activity in the UAE property market.
Analysts note that Dubai’s real estate sector has benefited from population growth, foreign investment inflows, and rising tourism — factors that have supported property sales and recurring income streams.
Outlook
With record revenues and profits, Emaar enters 2026 with strong momentum, as developers in the Gulf region continue to capitalize on demand for residential, commercial, and lifestyle developments.
The results reinforce the UAE’s position as one of the fastest-growing real estate markets globally.
