The UAE’s Digital Economy Contributions to GDP (USD Billions)

23 December 2022

Specifically with regards to developing a digital economy, the government launched the UAE’s Digital Economy Strategy, which aims to double the contribution of the digital economy to the UAE’s GDP from 9.7% to over 20% by 2031.

This would mean that the UAE’s digital economy today is roughly valued at over US $38 billion.

By 2031, the national digital economy is expected to be conservatively valued at well over US $140 billion.

A PwC report published in 2018 forecasted that the UAE’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry alone would contribute $96 billion to the economy (13.6% of GDP) by 2030.
