Dubai Population Growth (2018-2024): Key Trends & Impact

Dubai’s population has surged, adding 400,000 new residents since the pandemic, fueled by high-paying jobs, low taxes, and global connectivity. The Dubai population now stands at 3.8 million and is projected to reach 5.8 million by 2040.

This rapid growth is driving Dubai’s economic boom, making it one of the best-performing markets in 2024.

Public transport expansion is underway, but traffic congestion remains a growing concern.
