PREFACE 

To become a manager in future passing the theoretical subjects is not enough. The 

subjects are the bases for our carrier from which we can strengthen our knowledge 

to apply it in real world. The GCSR project provides the platform of opportunity to 

know the current market situation, various factors affecting the industrial and 

economic performance and the behavior of environment. It gives the opportunity 

where we can apply the theory knowledge in real world and so that we can be a 

successful manager in future. This changed the market structure, character and 

focus of marketing strategies. 

MBA is a course where unlike many other courses practical studies are 

accompanied together with theoretical studies, case analysis and preparation of 

various reports, giving presentations on various topics are a vital part of the practical 

studies in this course. 

The preparation of the GCSR is one such part of the practical studies here. For this 

purpose we are required to select one particular topic related to a country or trade 

and prepare a report through study research. 

As the student of management it is learning experience to analyze a trade. It is the 

most essential for us to expose our skill as a future responsible management post. 

So, we have decided to go for detail study of country “United Arab Emirates”.

2. Economic Overview of UAE 

Basic Economic Facts (Economist Intelligence Unit, July 2011) 

GDP: USD360 billion 

Annual Growth: 2.1% 

Inflation: 0.9% 

Major Industries: Oil, gas, Petrochemicals, manufacturing & construction 


Major Trading Partners: Exports: Japan, India, Iran, South Korea, Thailand. 

Imports: India, China, US, Germany & Japan. 

Aid & Development: None 

Exchange Rate: AED 3.67 = USD 1.00 (February 2012) 

The UAE has one of the highest GDP's per head in the world. Although it is 

still profoundly dependent on revenues from hydrocarbons, the UAE is 

comparatively well insulated from periods of low oil prices due to successful 

moves towards economic diversification, large foreign exchange reserves and 

investments in foreign countries . The global economic crisis is being felt in 

the UAE with a number of projects being either shelved or cancelled. There 

have been redundancies across all sectors, and mainly in construction. The 

lack of funds and credit, while mild as compared to Europe and the US is 

beginning to have an effect. 

Abu Dhabi has approximately 10% of the world's proven oil reserves and 5% 

of the gas. The Emirate also has an impressive investment portfolio financed 

from oil income. Dubai is different. Its hydrocarbon reserves are far more 

limited, and therefore its economy is more diverse - based on a vision of 

making Dubai the region’s business, logistics, media & leisure hub. The 

Northern Emirates fair less well, though Sharjah and Rasal Khaimah have 

established themselves as bases for manufacturing and Fujairah is starting to 

make more of its East Coast location. The Northern Emirates are to a greater 

or lesser extent, dependent on Abu Dhabi and funds from the Federal 

Government. 


UAE GDP to grow 4.2% in 2012 


3. Overview of Industries Trade and Commerce 

The UAE became a contracting party to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 

(GATT) in 1994, and subsequently became a member of the World Trade 

Organization (WTO) in April of 1996. This engagement with international 

organizations stems from the UAE’s commitment to international trade and its 

obligations under the multilateral trade policy regime. Today, the UAE has 

regulations in place that aim to strengthen the country’s position as an open 

economy, one that welcomes international trade and competition. 

Main Industry 

Petroleum and petrochemicals; 

Fishing, 

Aluminum, 

Cement, 

Fertilizers, 

Commercial ship repair, 

Construction materials, 

Boat building, 

Handicrafts, 

Textiles 

Major Trading Partners 

Exports: Japan, India, Iran, South Korea, Thailand. 

Imports: India, China, US, Germany, Japan. 


4. Overview Different Economic Sectors of UAE 

Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing 

As a result of adverse climatic conditions (nutrient-poor soil, extreme aridity, and 

high summer temperatures) in the UAE, in 2005 agriculture represented a relatively 

small portion (an estimated 3 percent) of the country’s gross domestic product. 

Employment in the agricultural sector occupied only approximately 7 percent of the 

employed population in 2005, but because a relatively high proportion of UAE 

nationals are employed in farming, the sector receives a disproportionate share of 

government subsidies at both the federal and local levels. Dates remain the UAE’s 

major crop in terms of area cultivated, but the production of vegetables has 

increased dramatically, particularly in Abu Dhabi, and currently generates the most 

revenue. Other major products are eggs, dairy products, and poultry. 

Mining and Minerals 

The UAE’s economy is dominated by the oil and gas sector, which accounts for more 

than 30 percent of total gross domestic product. The Supreme Petroleum Council, 

headed by the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, has ultimate control over energy policy in 

the UAE. Despite the crown prince’s commitment to diversifying the economy by 

reducing dependency on oil, the UAE government is investing billions of dollars to 

increase crude oil capacity from approximately 2.7 million barrels per day in 2006 to 

4 million barrels per day by2010. 

Industry and Manufacturing 

Industry (including mining, manufacturing, construction, and power) accounted for An 

estimated 54.2 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2005 and employed 

almost 36 percent of the workforce in that year. The major heavy industries in the 

UAE are related to oil and gas, and the bulk of the manufacturing industry is 

centered in the Jabal Ali Free Zone in Dubai and the Jabal az Zannah-Ar Runways 

industrial zone in Abu Dhabi. The main products are liquefied petroleum gas, 

distillate fuel oils, and jet fuels. Manufacturing constituted 12.9 percent of GDP in 

2004 and employed 13 percent of the workforce in that year. Aluminum has emerged 


as a key manufacturing activity over the last 20 years as a result of the growth of 

Dubai Aluminum, owned by the Dubai government. 

Energy 

In 1997, in response to the UAE’s rising demand for electric power, coupled with 

volatile swings in peak loads, the Abu Dhabi government formed the Privatization 

Committee for the Water and Electricity Sector to assess the emirate’s energy 

requirements and consider privatization as an option. This committee recommended 

that Abu Dhabi’s water and electricity department be changed to a semi-autonomous 

regulatory body, the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA), and that 

the emirate’s power stations be partially or totally privatized. The privatization of 

Services 

According to the UAE government, the services sector (including financial 

enterprises and government services) produced 43.1 percent of the gross domestic 

product (GDP) in 2004and 40.4 percent of GDP in 2005. This sector employed more 

than 1.4 million persons in 2004and almost 1.5 million in 2005, which is 

approximately 60 percent of the total workforce. 

Banking and Finance 

The UAE Central Bank was established in 1980 to direct monetary, credit, and 

banking policy. It maintains the UAE government’s reserves of gold and foreign 

currencies, acts as the bank for banks operating in the UAE, and serves as the 

state’s financial agent at international financial institutions. In response to pressure 

from the World Trade Organization to open the banking sector to more foreign 

competition, in late 2004 the UAE central Bank stated that it would consider allowing 

new foreign banks to establish themselves in the UAE for the first time in 20 years. 

Tourism 

The primary source of the UAE’s rapidly growing tourism sector is the Dubai Emirate, 

which hosts the world’s tallest hotel. According to the UAE government, Dubai’s 

tourism revenue exceeds its oil revenue. The emirate’s 302 hotels hosted 6.4 million 

visitors from India, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon, the Philippines, Europe, Australia, and 

South Africa in2006. 


Education in UAE 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the Gulf States located in the Middle East. UAE 

is primary an Islamic region and shares many of the educational procedures and 

traditions of the other Gulf State Countries. UAE belong to the Arab Bureau of 

schooling for the Gulf States which meets to discuss the Gulf State countries 

curriculum and procedures. United Arab Emirates (UAE) public educational spending 

is 27.43%, which ranks 7 th in the world in spite of the high spending on education, 

UAE has the lowly literacy rate out of all the Gulf States at 77.9%. Compared to the 

United States rate of 99%, the UAE has a long way to go to match the educational 

statistics of the western culture. The small overall literacy rate can be confusing due 

to the majority of that rate being over the age of 25. The far above the ground 

spending in education has paid off for the younger production, general public from 

15-24 have a literacy rate of 97%, far better than the overall average rate of 77.9%. 

Community education is free for male and female citizen children through university 

level. The UAE has one of the lowly student-to-teacher ratios (15; 1) in the world. 

Education is compulsory through the ninth grade, even if, according to the U.S. 

sector of State, this requirement is not enforced. 

5. Overviews of Business and Trade at International Level 

Foreign Economic Relations 

In 1977 the Arab Monetary Fund (AMF), based in Abu Dhabi, was established by 20 

Arab states to provide loans to member states, primarily for balance-of payments 

support. In 1981 the UAE joined with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and 

Oman to form the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The UAE’s closest relations 

within the GCC are with its major trading partner, Oman. 

Imports 

Imports totaled US$80.2 billion in 2005 and are projected to increase to US$86 

billion in 2006, US$94.6 billion in 2007, and US$104.1 billion in 2008. Principal 

imports are machinery and electrical equipment, precious stones and precious 

metals, and transport equipment. The principal source of UAE imports in 2005 was 


China (9.9 percent of the total). Other major countries of origin included the United 

Kingdom, the United States, and India. 

Exports 

In 2005 UAE exports totaled US$126.5 billion; this number is projected to increase to 

US$132.9 billion in 2006, as a result of record oil prices and the growth of non-oil 

exports, and to US$137.3 billion in 2007 and US$143.7 billion in 2008. According to 

official balance-of payments statistics, oil and gas exports account for almost 60 

percent of the UAE’s total export revenues (including re-exports). Non-oil sectors of 

the economy contribute approximately 40percent of the country’s total exports. The 

primary destinations of UAE exports in 2005 were Japan (26 percent of total 

exports), South Korea, Thailand, and India. 

6. INDIA-UAE Trade Relations 

India and United Arab Emirates (UAE) enjoy strong bonds of friendship which are 

founded on millennia-old cultural, religious and economic intercourse between the 

two regions. People-to-people contacts and barter trade between the two regions 

have existed for centuries. The relationship flourished after the accession of H.H. 

Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan as the Ruler of Abu Dhabi in 1966 and 

subsequently with the creation of the UAE Federation in 1971. Both sides have 

made sincere efforts to improve relations in all fields. 

India has signed the following treaties with the UAE 

Extradition Treaty, Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty in Criminal Matters & Mutual 

Legal Assistance Treaty in Civil Matters: Signed in New Delhi in October, 1999 

provide for Extradition and Mutual Legal Assistance in Civil and Criminal Matters 

and came into force in May 2000. 

Agreement on Juridical and Judicial Cooperation in civil and commercial 

matters: Signed in New Delhi in October, 1999 and provides for Juridical and 

Judicial Cooperation in Civil and Commercial Matters, came into force on 

29.5.2000. 


Agreement to Combat Trafficking in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic 

Substances: Signed in New Delhi on January 6, 1994, provide for exchange of 

information through nodal agencies on smugglers, suspects, financiers, 

organizers and those involved in trafficking of narcotic drugs and psychotropic 

substances. 

Civil Aviation Agreement: Signed in March 1989, provides for establishing air 

services between and beyond India and the UAE

Directorate General of Doordarshan Broadcasting Corporation of India [Prasar 

Bharati] and the Emirates Cable TV and Multimedia LLC [E-Vision] provides for 

the down-linking and distribution of DD World signals in the UAE through E- 

Vision's cable network. 

MoU on Manpower Sourcing signed in December 2006 


7. SWOT Analysis 

Strength 

The UAE is an element of the Gulf Co-operation Council, which being a 

common market can access the GCC market with common favorable terms. 

The UAE has one of the most tolerant trade regimes in the Gulf, and attracts 

strong capital flows from across the region. 

In general with most Gulf States, there are a high number of expatriate 

workers at all levels of the economy, making up for the otherwise small 

workforce. 

Weakness 

The UAE’S currency is peg to the dollar, giving it minimum control over 

monetary policy and reducing its ability to tackle inflationary pressure. 

Opportunities 

Oil prices expected to stay high (by historical standards). 

Economic diversification into gas, going to places of interest, financial services 

and high- tech industry offers some protection against volatile oil prices. 

The structure, tourism and financial sectors are growing rapidly, driven by 

domestic and foreign Investment. 

Threats 

Some bottlenecks have been form in the construction sector and there is a 

chance of delays in several high – profile construction projects. 


8. PESTEL Analysis 

. Political analysis 

The UAE government is considered to have a steady policy-making agenda. 

The country is also one of the first Gulf countries to have conducted partial elections 

in the region. However, the absence of democratic institutions and weak relations 

with Iran now pose problems for the government. 

Economic analysis 

The state budget surpluses that the UAE enjoys have been driven by high oil 

prices; two-thirds of the UAE’s fiscal revenues are accrued from oil and gas sales. 

The government's high degree of dependence on exports of these resources for its 

revenues makes it vulnerable to oil price movements, and it has realized that in the 

long term more reliable sources of tax revenues will be required. The economy's 

overdependence on oil revenues is now causing the government to be concerned 

about future sustainability. 

Social analysis 

The country has a low level of unemployment and an abundance of semiskilled 

youth workers for its labor markets. However, low literacy and a lack of proper 

facilities for education are dogging the social system. Furthermore, the government's 

expenditure on coaching is low. 

Technological analysis 

The country has a strong telecommunication network with state-of-the-art 

technologies. As a result, it is attracting entrants to its IT market at a rapidly 

increasing pace. However, poor science education and a lack of R&D facilities are a 

hindrance to technological development. 

Legal analysis 


The UAE is one of the few tax-free zones in the world, with virtually no tax 

laws in the country, and the country has also improved its policy towards the 

industrial sector. However, the federation’s company ownership laws still act as a 

hurdle to foreign direct investment (FDI) flows and continuous government 

interference in business affairs can stifle the performance of businesses in the 

country. 

Environmental analysis 

The country has a strong integrated environmental development program, 

with supporting economic policies. Its ecological procedures are integrated with the 

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) program, which is part of business practice 

in the UAE. However, the increasing level of emissions is still a concern, with the 

country being one of the largest producers of oil in the world. 


PART – II 

MICRO ANALYSIS OF 

INDUSTRY/SECTOR 

OF UNITED ARAB 

EMIRATES 


OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY OF UAE 

By far the biggest deposits of oil in the Emirates have been found in Abu Dhabi. The 

emirate controls more than 85 per cent of the UAE’s oil output capacity and more 

than 90 per cent of its reserves. As oil exports began in the late 1950s and early 

1960s, it was still a largely undeveloped desert emirate inhabited by nomads, pearl 

divers and fishermen. The ruler’s fort was the only building of substance on Abu 

Dhabi island, the site of the city today. There were no roads or basic amenities. 

Expatriate workers from Bahrain or Kuwait – where the petroleum industry was much 

more advanced – were flown in on small aircraft which landed on runways of 

flattened sand mixed with oil. In 1966, when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan 

became ruler, there were fewer than 20,000 people living in Abu Dhabi. 

The UAE along with other GCC nations have undertaken significant expansion 

projects in order to increase production capacity and maintain market stability. The 

UAE continues to significantly increase its production to supply the global energy 

markets. While some OPEC nations and many non-OPEC nations have seen 

production declines over the last five years, the UAE has increased its total 

production of crude oil by approximately 31 percent. 


Consumption and Exports of Oil in UAE (2001-08) (in thousand barrels/day) 

UAE does not have huge gas reserves hence the exports of gas are less then 

consumption. Most of the gas produced is natural and is used mainly for internal 

consumption. Internal consumption has increased at a CAGR of 9% from 2001 to 

2008. Increasing industrialization, population and building construction sector are the 

key drivers for this growth. Exports have decreased mainly due to increase in 

internal consumption and extreme competition which UAE faces with Qatar and Iran. 

UAE continues to identify new projects in the upstream oil and gas sector which aims 

to boost the nation's crude oil production capacity to nearly 4 million barrels per day 

by 2020, which would amount to an additional increase of approximately 40 percent 

over current production levels. 

Under the UAE's constitution, each emirate controls its own oil production and 

resource development. Dubai Petroleum Company (DPC) is the main upstream 

operator in Dubai. The state owned Dubai Natural Gas Company (DUGAS) is 

responsible for processing natural gas produced in Dubai's offshore oil fields as well 


as the gas pipes from Sharjah. The second main producer is Abu Dhabi Marine 

Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO). 

Percentage share of Key Upstream players 

ADNOC is the leading company in UAE producing maximum oil in the region 

based out of Abu Dhabi giving it is oil rich status. 

ADNOC has a range of almost 14 companies refining oil and manufacturing 

petroleum products under it. Players like Enoc, Japan Oil, Exxon Mobil as fast 

growing companies which are making their mark in manufacturing quality products 

and increasing the exports of the country. 

This system is capable of supplying more than 300 million cubic feet of gas per day 

and has the capacity to meet all customers' needs well into the 21st century. 

UAE has maintained its strong hold in oil exports capitalizing on its huge reserves. 

Increasing industrialization, inflow of industries, increase in automotive traffic etc has 

led to increase in internal consumption of oil as well. Oil consumption has grown at a 

CAGR of 8% from 2001 to 2008. Growth in exports has been more or less constant 

and there has seen a steady increase of 1 - 2 % year on year where 2003 and 2006 

saw high increases of 14% and 8% respectively. Financial crisis in 2008 lead to 

decline in oil prices and had an adverse impact on the exports resulting in a decline. 


Potential for import / export in India / Gujarat Market 

UAE companies are in talk with Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd (GACL) Proposes 

to set up caustic soda facility in UAE. 

State-owned Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd (GACL), the country’s largest caustic 

soda manufacturer, is in talks with a UAE-based business group for setting up a 

caustic soda manufacturing facility in the UAE. 

The Rs 1,200-crore GACL has asked the foreign player to conduct a market survey 

to assess the demand for caustic-chlorine products in the UAE. 

The GACL officials were in Dubai recently to take this further. “The UAE-based entity 

had approached GACL seeking its co-operation to establish a caustic soda 

manufacturing plant in the UAE. Currently, a market survey is being carried out on 

the type of ancillary industries present there and the requirement of caustic and 

chlorine in the UAE,” sources close to the development told Business Standard. 

They said the nature of collaboration would be finalised only after the results of the 

survey were out. The market survey is likely to take around four months. While the 

name of the group is not known, it is a leading business houses with operations in 

the UAE. GACL is also said to be open to the idea of joining hands with the foreign 

player. 

GACL managing director Guruprasad Mohapatra believes that there is a good 

potential for caustic soda and chlor-alkali business in the West Asia. “If things work 

out, the production capacity of the plant may be in the range of 750 tonnes per day 

(tpd) to 1,000 tpd,” sources said. 

Future Outlook of Oil & Gas Sector 

UAE with roughly 8% of the global resources and oil to last for 100 years is definitely 

at an enviable position. Given the high global demand for energy and supply and 


increased reliance of transportation sector on oil, economic growth will continue to 

be strong due to oil revenues. 

UAE economy has been in a state of boom of the past eight years with the GDP 

recording double growth rates in each successive year. Despite largely successful 

efforts at economic diversification, nearly 40% of GDP is directly based on oil and 

gas output. A number of challenges face the UAE, some relating to the oil industry 

itself, and others concerning the economic management of the oil wealth. Aside from 

the need for a large capital infusion into the industry, UAE has the additional 

challenge of using the sector as a vehicle for increasing intraregional trade. The 

most important challenge, however, lies in designing appropriate macroeconomic 

policies to ensure that the oil wealth is managed effectively. 

The oil market this year in 2009 has been strongly impacted by the financial crisis, 

global recession and resulting erosion in world oil demand. These factors have 

substantially magnified the uncertainties affecting the market and contributed 

significantly to volatility. 

The UAE's anti-crisis stimulus measures as a percentage of (GDP) are the largest 

among global emerging markets and is set to boost liquidity. The UAE Central Bank 

has put in place two support packages worth Dh120 bn and has also guaranteed 

bank deposits and allowed lenders to perform dirham-dollar swaps. The Abu Dhabi 

Government pumped about Dh16 bn into a recapitalization exercise involving five 

banks. These measures constitute about 16% of the country's 2008 GDP. Measures 

taken by bank, positive signs of economic recovery and the recent surge in oil prices 

due to OPEC production cuts has contributed to reviving investor confidence. This 

coupled with increased demand of oil and gas from developing economies is set to 

give an optimistic look to the UAE oil and gas sector. World oil consumption is 

expected to rise for the first time in two years in 2010 as a recovery in the global 

economy boosts demand. As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, the 

outlook for the UAE economy is very positive and this scenario is likely to continue in 

the foreseeable future.

TEXTILE INDUSTRY OF UAE 

The textile industry Arabian is one the important industries for the economy. Its 

importance is underlined by the fact that it accounts for around 4% of GDP, 14% of 

the industrial production and 17% of the country’s total earnings export. Textile 

industry is the second-largest employment generating industry in both rural and 

areas urban, after the agriculture industry. 

The vast pool of skilled and workers unskilled, availability of labor at low costs, 

strong base for production of the raw materials characterize the textile in India. 

Increase in domestic demand and ability of the units in the industry to process small 

or customized orders are some of the advantages for the textile industry in India. 

Textile sector is diverse and has hand-spun and hand woven segments at one end 

of the spectrum, and sophisticated and modern mills at the other. 

Business activity of the Industry: 

There are many opportunities for UK Business in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). 

UKTI can provide a wealth of information and guidance on doing business in the

Looking at this in connection with data of economic and fiscal stimulus initiatives, we 

judge that the main opportunities will be in oil and gas, energy, construction, mass 

transport, security, health and education. 


Over the 3 decades, the Emirates Group started its activities in Dubai with Textiles. 

Although now that the group has diversified its business activities, it continues to be 

a force in the trading of textile products. 

The company two textile outlets in the Dubai, one each at Bur Dubai and Deira. Both 

of these are semi-wholesale outlets. The one at Bur Dubai outlet deals mainly in 44" 

Saris, SKDs, Dress materials, shirting's, suiting products made in India, Indonesia, 

China, Thailand & Japan. 

Both the outlets have established clientele and are manned by persons who are 

experienced and well versed in the textiles trade. 

The Deira outlet deals in 58 products such as various stretches, basic, semi fancy 

and fancy materials made in Korea, Taiwan, China & Japan and Abhaya Shailla. 

Abhaya Shailla is an integral part of the dress in the Muslim world. As part of our 

commitment to provide quality fabrics for various apparels and understanding the 

needs of the region, the Emirates Group entered into the Abhaya/Shailla segment. 

Emirates Textiles Deira Branch stocks high quality fabrics used for making Abhaya 

and Shaillas. These fabrics are sourced from Japan, Korea and Indonesia. The 

stitching units as well as traders spread across the G. C. C. are the company's 

customers. 

Business opportunity in future related to industry: 

In the UAE, economic activity is regulated by individual emirates as well as the 

Federal Government. In Dubai, the authorities have deliberately sought to create an 

environment which is well ordered without being unduly restrictive. 

There are many options open to international companies seeking to establish a 

business relationship with Dubai. Apart from forming a trading relationship, for many 

companies there are distinct advantages in being on-the-spot to research market 

prospects, make contacts, liaise with customers, and see through the details of any 

transactions and orders secured. 


Having a presence can provide considerable business advantages in the Middle 

East. Businessmen in the region prefer to deal with someone they know and trust 

and personal relationships are much more important in doing business in the Arab 

world than they are in Western Europe or America. Also, the buying patterns of some 

countries served by Dubai tend to be unpredictable, creating a need for first class 

market intelligence and information.

FOOD INDUSTRY OF UAE 

The food business in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a highly 

competitive one. 

The UAE depends heavily on imports to fill the gap between limited 

domestic food production and demand from a growing people base. 

Despite attempts to increase local production of food products in recent 

years the UAE still imports 85 to 90 per cent of its total food requirements. 

Companies involved in the importation and distribution of food are 

equipped with modern warehousing services, fleets of trucks, and a staff of 

sale representatives. 

The Food Control Department of Dubai Municipality has recently launched 

the Food initiative. The initiative, which was announced during Gulf food 

2013, is aimed at simplifying the procedures to get information related to 

the food safety. 

Dubai eateries and other food establishments have a comprehensive food 

code which they have to adopt to ensure international standards of food 

safety are followed. With the metropolis releasing the code, Dubai 

becomes first in the region to produce such a guideline that could be used 

by the entire food industry. 

“Dubai’s dream is to establish a world – class food safety that provides safe food to 

the residents and the several millions that Emirate each year. 

The food industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a highly competitive one. It 

has been valued by some as being worth US$ 2.8 billion. Inside this growing food 


industry is the biscuit promote, which is important as it worth US$ 500 million. The 

annual per capital consumption of biscuit in the UAE is a whopping 6 kg. Tiffany 

Foods Ltd. is the market manager of the biscuit industry in the UAE. Tiffany Foods 

Ltd. was established in 1989 as a family owned private limited company. The UAE 

population can be categorized into three main types of people: The local Arabs, The 

expat Arabs, The Expats. 

As can be seen these three groups each have unique preferences as far as biscuits 

are concerned. The affluent local Arabs wish to indulge themselves with luxury, while 

the Expats (migrant workers) - the majority of whom belong to the lower rungs of the 

economic ladder - prefer practicality and the expat Arabs take a sort of middle-of-theroad 

approach. This divergence between the populace is the reason for the 

existence of the three market segments of the UAE biscuit industry: Dry biscuits, 

Cream biscuits, Premium biscuits. The only approach then to capture the biscuit 

market is by participating in all the three of the market segments. However, this is 

not simple thing for any business to do as there are varying specific 1requirements 

for each of these market segments. 

Given this scenario, multiple businesses will prevail by specializing and finding niche 

areas within the biscuit market (e.g. McVitie's concentrates on producing only 

digestive biscuits - a type of premium biscuit). But Tiffany Foods Ltd. has been able 

develop its status as a subsidiary of the conglomerate called IFFCO, to contribute in 

all the segments of the biscuit market. This has therefore caused Tiffany Foods Ltd. 

to be the market manager for almost two decades now. However, with the entry of 

Nutro, a supplementary of Indian biscuit giant Britannia, Tiffany Foods Ltd.'s position 

as the market manager is being threatened. Nutro is aggressively promote their new 

products and want to become the market leaders in the Dry and Cream categories. 


Introduction of IFFCO 

Establishment in 1975, IFFCO is a United Arab Emirates based business house, which 

manufactures and market a well-integrated range of consumer products. IFFCO operate under 

the following business sector: 

Impulse foods, agri Business, Oils & Fats, Packaging, sales and Distribution. IFFCO also 

manufacture associated derivatives and intermediates associated with these business 

segments. 

Over the last three decades. IFFCO has developed brands that have built a strong market 

share in the United Arab Emirates UAE by offering their customer good value of money. 

IFFCO has grown consistently by building complimentary businesses supported by acquisitions 

in the UAE and internationally as well. This model of sustainable expansion has seen IFFCO’s 

transformation from a local company to a dynamic group of international companies with 

operation and manufacturing facilities in UAE, Pakistan, Malaysia, Tunisia, south Africa, turkey, 

Indonesia, China and Australia.

shops, general stores, corner shops among various other small retail outlets - but 

remain to be the shining force of Indian retail industry.

huge growth potential and accounts for 15% of the country’s GDP. Including of 

organized and unorganized sectors, Indian retail industry is one of the fastest 

growing industries in India, especially over the last few years.

top 30 emerging markets for retail. The recent announcement by the Indian 

government with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail, especially allowing 100% 

FDI in single brands and multi-brand FDI has created positive sentiments in the retail 

sector. 

Emerging Areas: 

Some sectors that occupy a projecting position with the retail industry are: 

Apparel and fashion – Everybody understands the impact of fashion and textiles on 

the environment. Almost $19.5 billion were spent on online apparel shopping in the 

year 2009 and increasing since then. 


Fashion & Lifestyle - In India the vast middle class and its almost untapped retail 

industry are the key attractive forces for global retail giants wanting to enter into 

newer markets, which in turn will help the retail to grow faster. 

Food & Beverage retail - Backed by huge potential and changing lifestyles, the food 

and beverage retail market is growing at a robust 30-35 per cent per year. 

Pharmaceutical Retail – Driven by remedies like anti-diabetic, vitamin, antiinvective’s 

and dermatology, it accounted for a robust 15% growth in 2011. 

E-commerce or E-tailing – the next big revolution - With the advent of e-commerce 

in the retail industry or retail stores are facing solid competition from e-stores. The 

rising demand for e-shopping has led to a new debate cropping up in the world.

at a CAGR of 8.3% between 2010 and 2015. 

Middle East duty free and travel retail sales are projected to expand at a 

CAGR of 9.9% between 2010 and 2015. Although Dubai Duty Free will 

continue to account for a significant portion of these sales, growing 

passenger traffic in Qatar is likely to result in the country’s duty free sales 

outdoing the broader sector growth. 

After a brief pause over the last two years, the Middle East luxury goods 

market looks poised for strong performance going forward. The region’s 

luxury goods sector is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 8.5% between 2010 

and 2015.

market looks poised for strong performance going forward. The region’s 

luxury goods sector is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 8.5% between 2010 

and 2015. 


Based on a Moderate Growth scenario for our supply side estimates, retail 

GLA in the GCC is forecast to expand to 14.6 million sq m in 2015, from 10.3 

million sq m in 2010. UAE is expected to experience the extreme increase in 

retail space through 2015 given that 56.4% of the project pipeline is located 

in the country. We believe that supply of new GLA will be sufficient to meet 

demand for retail space over the next five years.

PETRO CHEMICAL INDUSTRY OF UAE 

Petrochemical Industry Profile and Evolution 

Petrochemical Cluster 

The Supreme Petroleum Council (SPC) was established in 1988 as the superior 

authority responsible fort he petroleum industry in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. The 

Ruler of Abu Dhabi chairs SPC that formulates and oversees the implementation of 

Abu Dhabi's petroleum policy and follows up its implementation across all areas of 

the petroleum industry through Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), its 

National Oil Company 

Abu Dhabi has the world’s fourth largest oil reserves (97.8 thousands million barrels) 

and 5th largest natural gas reserves 6 trillion cubic meters (BP, 2011). The evolution 

of oil and gas industry in Abu Dhabi is illustrated in the above Figure. It started with 

the first concession that was awarded to Petroleum Development (Trucial Coast) on 

11th January 1939, a non-national company, but geological work and exploratory 

drilling started in February 1950, the first commercial oil discovery was made on 

1960 at Bab oil field, and the first shipment of crude was exported from Jebel 

Dhanna terminal in 1963 prior to the formation of the federation of the United Arab 

Emirates. In 1971 The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) was established 


as the State Owned Enterprise in charge of all oil, gas, petrochemical and 

associated industries. The early 1980s, has witnessed the creation of Ruwais 

Refinery, Fertil (fertilers) and International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) for 

undertaking international investment in oil and gas assets. For more than a decade 

long from 1985 to 1998, Abu Dhabi did not undertake any major oil and gas 

investments other than upgrading and refurbishment existing facilities. It took Abu 

Dhabi more than four decades to embark on its first down stream petrochemical 

investment through Abu Dhabi Polymers Company (Borouge) which sits at the 

center of the petrochemical cluster (refer to Figure-21). 

The Petrochemical Business Environment (Cluster Diamond) 

The petrochemical cluster is shallow, and is dominated by four state owned 

enterprises. The cluster is clearly supported by the strong oil and gas cluster in the 

UAE, which provides access to cheap feedstock at the meantime. However, limited 

availability of feedstock in the future challenges the sustainability of the current 

privilege. The cluster is also backed by the strong logistics, financial, and educational 

cluster, however, the domestic demand is insignificant due to absence of convertor 

industries. The cluster has limited international investments, because of the 

restrictions imposed on foreign ownership, which challenge the inflow of FDI to the 


cluster. UAE location supports growth in the emerging Asian markets, while local 

market consumption is still very limited compared to the European region. The 

following section details the competitiveness drivers and. 

Factor Conditions 

Feedstock 

Ethylene is the main building block for petrochemical industries, which is produced 

from a variety of feedstock that determines petrochemical cost structure and industry 

margins. Naphtha is the main feedstock used in Europe and Asia produced from 

refineries and offers higher proportion of co-products e.g. propylene and butadiene, 

which benzene can be extracted from. However, Abu Dhabi as well as other 

producers in GCC region generate ethylene from gases such as ethane, propane 

and butane; a process that does not require a refinery (but it limits the proportion of 

co-products) which give Abu Dhabi and GCC countries a cost advantage for setting 

up petrochemical facilities over other regions. Ethane prices are linked to 

international prices of oil. However, it is difficult to for Abu Dhabi and GCC countries 

to determine the actual cost of ethane exactly as it is integrated with the upstream oil 

and gas sectors. 

The ethane price in Abu Dhabi is estimated at around $1.5/MMBTU compared to 

$0.75/MMBTU in Saudi Arabia, $1/MMBTU in Kuwait, $1.5/MMBTU in Qatar (Diwan, 

2009). Regionally, Abu Dhabi has no cost advantage over ethane feedstock. 

However it has very significant cost advantage over Western Europe and USA by a 

factor of 3. The ethylene cost of production from ethane in Abu Dhabi is not known, 

but it should be little higher than Saudi Arabia ($114/ton) and Qatar ($170/ton), and 

remains superior over other regions where prices stand at above $400/ton (Diwan, 

2009). Propylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) cost structure is derived form 

cracking processes where cost advantage could be gained from close proximity to 

markets and efficient operations that could be of stretch for state owned enterprises. 

Therefore, the competitiveness of Abu Dhabi comes mainly from cracking 

inexpensive ethane but as well as location due to its close proximity to growing 

markets in Asia. Although Abu Dhabi has the world’s fourth largest oil reserves and 

fifth largest natural gas reserves, it became a net importer of gas in 2007 due to high 


increase of demand for electricity which is fully generated from gas fired power 

plants as shown in the below figure. The country has experienced feed gas shortage 

at power plants that led to electricity blackouts mainly in northern emirates while the 

capital city Abu Dhabi was saved by the arrival of Qatari gas through Dolphin 

Pipeline Project. Recently during summer 2011 and another energy crisis unfolded 

as the northern emirates experienced shortage of gasoline at the pumping stations 

that signals limited coordination between petroleum industry and other industries. 

The growing economy, increase of population and highly subsidized utilities caused 

domestic oil and natural gas consumption to rise 685,000 b/d and 60.5 billion cubic 

meters respectively in 2010 as shown in Figure. The demand for electricity in Abu 

Dhabi will increase by 12% per annum reaching 22,356 MW by 2020 from a baseline 

figure of 6,885MW. Consequently, power generation feed gas demand will increase 

from 563,432 million cubic feet to 1,539,729 million cubic feet (ADWEC, 2011). The 

UAE also has become among the top ten countries consuming electricity in the world 

at a rate of 12,000 kwh per capita according to World Bank Indicators (WB, 2012), 

and it has recorded the largest per capita ecological footprint globally of (10.68 

gha/person) according to Global Footprint Network (GFN, 2010). 

The UAE is member of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Companies (OPEC) 

that coordinates petroleum policies among its member countries effectively limiting 

oil production of Abu Dhabi. It is particularly troublesome for Abu Dhabi as most of 

the gas reserves are of associated gas type thus increasing production of gas would 


equire increase in oil production. Abu Dhabi however progressed ahead with 

several projects to increase oil production up to 3.5 million b/d up from 2.8 million b/d 

enabling an increase in gas production from 51 billion cubic meter to 77 billion cubic 

meters by 2020 (Krane, 2010). 

Company Profile 

Abu Dhabi Polymers Company Limited 

Abu Dhabi Polymers Company Limited also known as Bourge Petrochemicals 

Borouge is one of the leading provider of innovative, value creating plastics 

solutions. A joint venture between the Abu Dhabi National Company (ADNOC) one 

of the world’s major oil and gas companies, and Austria based Borealis, a leading 

provider of chemical and innovative plastics solutions; Borouge is a groundbreaking 

international partnership at the forefront of the next generation of plastics innovation. 

Borouge’s headquarters is situated in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore and 

employs approximately 1600 people representing more than 40 nationalities and 

serves customers in more than 50 countries across the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, 

Indian sub-continent and Africa. 

Building on Borealis’ unique Borstar® technology and experience in Polyolefins for 

more than 50 years, Borouge provides innovative, value crating plastics solutions for 

infrastructure (pipe systems, power and communication cables), automotive 

components and advanced packaging. 

In 2010 Borouge has tripled its annual production capacity in Abu Dhabi to 2 million 

tones and an additional 2.5 million tonnes per year will be introduced by mid-2014 to 

create the world’s largest integrated polyolefins plant in a single site. Once Borouge 

project come on stream in mid-2014, Borouge total production capacity will reach to 

the 4.5 million tonnes per year. 


Borouge is also investing in plants and logistics hubs in Asia and a state of the art 

Innovation Centre in Abu Dhabi. Borouge is Focused on value Creation through 

Innovation, Borouge ensure that its customers throughout the value chain, around 

the world, can always rely on superior products and security of supply. 

Borouge is committed to the principles of Responsible Care and proactively 

contributes towards addressing the world’s water and sanitation challenges through 

its Water for the World initiative. 

Polyolefin manufacturer Borouge expects the expansion of its complex in Ruwais, 

Abu Dhabi, to be fully on stream in mid-2014, following completion of construction by 

end-2013. The Borouge expansion will add capacities of 1.5mn tonnes per annum 

(tpa) ethylene, feeding large polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) units. 

The planned Chemaweyaat complex, which Abu Dhabi hopes that it will be the 

world’s largest petrochemical complex, will include an olefins plant, an aromatics 

complex and a range of downstream polymer and chemicals units. It is due to enter 

production in 2015, but BMI believes that 2016 is more realistic. The first part of the 

development, Tacaamol, will use heavy naphtha feed for its aromatics units and a 

lighter naphtha feed to supply a mixed-feed cracker producing 1.5mn tpa ethylene 

and 690,000tpa propylene. These will feed downstream plants producing polymers, 

xylenes and other derivatives. 

Over the last quarter BMI has revised the following forecasts/views: 

- By 2016, BMI expects ethylene capacity of 5mn tpa in the UAE, up from an 

estimated 2mn tpa in 2011, with PE more than tripling to 3.52mn tpa and PP rising 

by nearly 170% to 2.14mn tpa over the period. 

- Key issues that will have an impact on the market include the effect of spreads 

between naphtha and ethane and the strength of Chinese market. While ethane may 

be cheaper, the heavy use of naphtha in its feedstock mix will put the UAE in a better 

position than Qatar and Saudi Arabia as it attempts to diversify downstream 

production. 


- In BMI’s Middle Eastern petrochemicals risk/reward ratings (RRRs) matrix, the UAE 

registers a score of 63.7 points, unchanged since the previous quarter. This quarter, 

the UAE remains in 2 nd place, 2.9 points ahead of Kuwait and 13.9 points behind the 

regional leader Saudi Arabia. Whether the UAE retains its position will depend on its 

ability to stay ahead of Qatar in country risk ratings, coupled with the further 

expansion of Borouge in 2013 and the proposed Chemaweyaat which is set to 

bolster its petrochemicals capacity. 

TRADE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDIA AND UAE 

UAE enjoys close economic and cultural relations with India. Close maritime contact 

between India and the Arabian peninsula date back to 3rd and 2nd millennium 

BC. and textile and spice trade between the two countries flourished during most of 1 

millennium AD. 

The discovery of oil allowed the UAE to increase and diversify its trade relations with 

India. In 2008-09, India emerged as the largest trade partner of the UAE with 

bilateral trade between the two countries exceeding US$44.5 billion. During the first 

half of 2010, non-oil trade between India and the UAE stood at US$20.4 billion. UAE 

is home to more than 1.75 million Indian expatriates, making Indians the second 

largest ethnic group in the Arab nation. 

Oman India Fertiliser Company (OMIFCO) is an India-Oman joint venture 

established to construct, own and operate a modern world scale two-train ammoniaurea 

fertilizer manufacturing plant (production capacity of 1,750 tonnes per day) at

by UAE companies in India. EMMAR, a real estate company of Dubai Government, 

is active in the real estate sector having already set up a major township, an 

international conventioncentre and a golf course in Hyderabad. Emaar and 

India's MGF Development Limited, joined together to form India's largest FDI in real 

estate amounting to over half a billion dollars for projects with a capital outlay of 

US$4 billion (Rs.18,000 crore) and constructed flats for the Commonwealth Games 

(2010) Village. 

Dubai Ports World is now operating 6 major Ports in India 

at Nhava Sheva, Navi Mumbai, Chennai, etc, following its acquisition of the P&O of 

U.K. DP World was awarded a $150 million contract in 2007 for work on construction 

of the International Container Transshipment Terminal (ICTT) 

at Vallarpadam in Kochi (Kerala). The first phase of the ICTT Project 

at Vallarpadam (Kochi) was inaugurated by Prime Minister on - February 11, 2011. 

The terminal currently has a capacity to handle one million TEUs (twenty-foot 

equivalent container units). The planned capacity at Vallarpadam, when fully 

expanded, is three million TEUs, making it the country's largest container terminal.

Owais,UAE Ambassdor in India, met with officials of the Gujarat Chamber of 

Commerce & Industry (GCCI) and their member companies in Ahmedabad on 24 

May, 2011. 

An interactive meeting was organised by GCCI to further strengthen the trade and 

economic relations between the UAE and India. Ambassador briefed the GCCI and 

its members about various opportunities UAE presents for Indian companies in the 

renewable energy, chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and education 

sectors. Ambassador called for a closer co-operation between UAE and Gujarat

Potential for import / export in India / Gujarat Market 

UAE companies are in talk with Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd (GACL) Proposes 

to set up caustic soda facility in UAE. 

State-owned Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd (GACL), the country’s largest caustic 

soda manufacturer, is in talks with a UAE-based business group for setting up a 

caustic soda manufacturing facility in the UAE. 

The Rs 1,200-crore GACL has asked the foreign player to conduct a market survey 


to assess the demand for caustic-chlorine products in the UAE. 

The GACL officials were in Dubai recently to take this further. “The UAE-based entity 

had approached GACL seeking its co-operation to establish a caustic soda 

manufacturing plant in the UAE. Currently, a market survey is being carried out on 

the type of ancillary industries present there and the requirement of caustic and 

chlorine in the UAE,” sources close to the development told Business Standard. 

They said the nature of collaboration would be finalised only after the results of the 

survey were out. The market survey is likely to take around four months. While the 

name of the group is not known, it is a leading business houses with operations in 

the UAE. GACL is also said to be open to the idea of joining hands with the foreign 

player. 

GACL managing director Guruprasad Mohapatra believes that there is a good 

potential for caustic soda and chlor-alkali business in the West Asia. “If things work 

out, the production capacity of the plant may be in the range of 750 tonnes per day 

(tpd) to 1,000 tpd,” sources said. 

Business Opportunities in Future 

In Gujarat - UAE's company "Dubai Port World", a leader in international marine 

terminal operations has a 100% equity stake in the $364.77 million "Mundra 

International Container Terminal" (MICT) facility and executes full operational 

control. 


Another UAE's tiles manufacture, RAK (Ras Al Khaimah) Ceramics India, plans to 

set up a tile plant in Ahmedabad, at an invest that of $150 million. The plant will be

LAW OF UAE TOURISM 

The UAE Ministry of published research that stated 72 per cent of expats in the UAE 

lack knowledge of local customs and traditions. In addition, only one-third of the 

2,000 respondents surveyed said they to set aside any time to find out more about 

local culture. 

This kind of complacency, according to the article, results in “Many expats enduring 

court trials, facing social embarrassment and suffering a long list of inconveniences – 

simply due to not knowing the rules.” Ignorance of the country’s moral boundaries is 

resulting in an increase in incidents of expats falling foul of the law. 

Emirates 24|7 listed ten rules that have often cropped up in cases where expats 

have claimed ignorance of the law, but not escaped its effects. 

‣ No kissing, no touching 

If you have been residing in the UAE for a while, you might already have figured it 

out. Holding hands may be OK, but kissing and petting is not. Expect a tap on your 

shoulder or a correcting finger reminding you to abide by the local customs, 

deeming this behaviour inappropriate. 


‣ No swearing/making indecent gestures 

Not everybody will be offended by it to the same extent, but in the UAE it is 

forbidden. “No swearing and no indecent gesturing” is the warning in many tourist 

guidebooks as it has occurred in the past that unaware foreign visitors or residents 

have been fined or imprisoned for expressing themselves in a way that is not be 

appreciated in the UAE. Giving the finger pulling out your tongue and even a 

somewhat aggressive hand move are all considered indecent . Moving your thumb 

up and down hoping to catch a hitch hike is not done and pointing at something or 

someone is considered impolite. 

‣ No taking pictures of others without permission 

Again, it will most likely involve the innocent, unaware tourist who likes to capture 

images of everything looking just a little different than back home. Any person being 

captured on camera in any public space in the UAE can bring the photographer to 

court. 

Especially women and families are sensitive towards the issue. Fines are the 

result. 

‣ Disrespecting any religion 

Religious values are widely respected in the UAE committing blasphemy or sacrilege 

against any religion is considered deeply offensive. Islam being the official religion 

of the UAE some simple rules are followed in order to show respect and avoid 

misunderstandings, states the Code of Conduct. 

It is important to be aware of these rules, as religious values may not be the same all 

over the world. When a newspaper contains the name of the Prophet (PBUH), do not 

use it as wrapping paper. When you hear the call for prayer, do not disrupt its sound 

in an obvious way. Do not forget that during Ramadan rules are different all 

together. 

‣ No sharing private space with opposite sex 


Strictly speaking sharing a private space with a member of the opposite sex when 

not related by family ties or marriage is forbidden. Private space would be a house, 

room, hotel room and even car. 

Certain behaviour is tolerated. Hotel reservations are easily made for unmarried 

couples wanting to share a room and there are many cases of single men and 

women sharing a villa, apartment and even a room. Any punishment depends on the 

situation. 

‣ No indecent clothing 

Another way the UAE decency law may affect the unsuspecting resident is by the 

guidelines it puts on clothing. Summer heat may tempt you to pull out the most exotic 

outfit . Visitors have to parade and mingle in the place where it’s all about the looks. 

Wrong again. 

In public places, guidelines say shorts and skirts need to be of appropriate length not 

to indecently expose parts of the body, be transparent, or display obscene or 

offensive pictures and slogans. On beaches rules are more lenient; swimwear is 

accepted but should be appropriate. Top-less sunbathing or the wearing of a thong is 

not allowed. 

‣ Entry Regulations 

Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Persian Gulf (GCC) and citizens of a 

number of states in Europe and elsewhere (including Australia and New Zealand) 

can get a free entry permit stamped in their passport upon arrival, good for up to 90 

days. Visitors from other nationalities require the sponsorship of any U.A.E. 

resident or any company or hotel licensed to operate within the U.A.E. and are 

limited to a 30-day stay. 

Citizens of the UK, France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, 

Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Finland, 

Malta, Spain, Monaco, Vatican, USA, Iceland, Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, 

Hungary, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong 

Kong may stay for up to 30 days without a visa. Citizens of Ireland may stay for 60 

days with a 30-day stamped entry permit, with the option to extend to 90 days for a 


fixed charge. As of 2 January 2011, Canadian citizens must acquire a visa prior to 

travelling to the United Arab Emirates. 

Present Trade of tourism affects GDP in UAE & INDIA 

Comparison of GDP of Indian and UAE Tourism Industry 

‣ UAE Tourism contributed 14% to UAE's GDP in 2012 

A recent report by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) showed that the 

UAE's travel and tourism industry is growing at a faster pace than the world growth 

average, Arabian Business reported. 

According to the report, the tourism sector contributed 14 percent to the UAE 

economy in 2012, well above the global trend of 9 percent. 

The report also said that the industry brought USD52.7 billion to the Gulf state's 

gross domestic product in 2012, expecting the figure to increase by 3.2 percent this 

year. 

The data released by the WTTC also showed that one in nine of all jobs in the 

country are resulting from the industry, which beats the global average of one in 11 

jobs. 

Travel and tourism has created a total of 383,500 jobs in the UAE in 2012 and is 

expected to further rise by 2.6 percent to 393,500 jobs this year, compared with a 

global expected increase of 1.7 percent, the data showed. 

WTTC said that USD22.54 billion or almost 23 percent of the country's total 

investment last year, was injected into the industry in 2012, and the amount is 

expected to rise by 12 percent in 2013. 

It is worth noting that the UAE is expected to receive a total of 25.8 million tourists 


over the next 10 years, generating visitor expenditure of USD56.4 billion, an increase 

of 5 percent per annum. 

LAST PREVIOUS HIGH LOW 

GDP GROWTH RATE 4.90 4.20 9.80 -4.80 

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United Arab Emirates expanded 4.90 

percent in 2012 from the previous year. GDP Annual Growth Rate in the United Arab 

Emirates is reported by the National Bureau of Statistics, UAE. 

Indian Tourism GDP contributed 6.4% to Nation’s GDP 

The Travel & Tourism industry in India is almost three times bigger than the size of 

automotive manufacturing industry and generates more jobs than the chemical 

manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, communications and mining sectors 

added together. 

This is according to new research from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) 

sponsored by American Express, released today at the ‘WTTC’s India Initiative 

Retreat’ in Bekal, Kerala, India. 


The research, undertaken by Oxford Economics, shows that the sector’s direct 

contribution to India’s GDP is INR2 billion which is almost three times more than the 

contribution of automotive manufacturing. 

Travel & Tourism’s total contribution – including direct, indirect and induced impacts - 

to GDP in India was INR6.7 billion around 6.4% of total GDP. This compares to 3.3% 

for automotive manufacturing, 4.5% for education and 3.7% for the mining industry. 

Supporting 39 million direct, indirect and induced jobs in India, Travel & Tourism 

generates more jobs than the mining industry and communications services. 

It also highlights that Travel & Tourism is a significant source of export revenue for 

India.In 2011, visitor exports totaled INR950 billion which was 12% of all service 

exports and 3.9% of all exports. 

The study compared the effect of Travel & Tourism spending on GDP and the wider 

economy. 

LAST PREVIOUS HIGH LOW 

GDP GROWTH RATE 1.30 0.80 5.80 -1.70 


The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in India expanded 1.30 percent in the fourth 

quarter of 2012 over the previous quarter. GDP Growth Rate in India is reported by 

the OECD. 

ANALYSIS 

UAE is worth noting that the UAE is expected to receive a total of 25.8 million 

tourists over the next 10 years, generating visitor expenditure of USD56.4 billion, an 

increase of 5 percent per annum. 

INDIA highlights that Travel & Tourism is a significant source of export revenue for 

India. 

In 2011, visitor exports totaled INR950 billion which was 12% of all service exports 

and 3.9% of all exports. 

Thus, The UAE Tourism growing faster than Indian Tourism Industry. UAE’s tourism 

Industry contributed more amounts of revenue in GDP rather than of India.

D'damas is one of the most popular jewellery brand in the country today with a 

presence in over 159 towns 

CONCLUSION (TEXTILE INDUSTRY) 

The business incorporation process of a company in Dubai is undoubtedly hassle- 

free. 

1. There is no income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax in the UAE. 

Corporation tax is applied only to banks and companies in the oil industry. 


2. Most Emirati males prefer to wear a kandura, an ankle-length white tunic 

woven from wool or cotton, and most Emirati women wear an abaya, a black 

over-garment covering most parts of the body. 

3. Its importance is underlined by the fact that it accounts for around 4% of 

GDP, 14% of the industrial production and 17% of the country’s total earnings 

export. 

4. Govt. of India has established Export Processing Zones (EPZs) and Special 

Economic Zones (SEZs). In EPZs units can import goods free of custom duty. 

There is 5-year tax holiday to any industrial unit in EPZs. 

5. India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) enjoy a strong and friendly 

relationship based on historical contacts, shared traditions and values. This 

relationship has been buttressed by long standing people to people and 

commercial contacts. The two countries have established strong partnerships 

in the field of commerce and trade. This partnership is expanding, diversifying 

and emerging into a strategic partnership. 

CONCLUSION (PETRO CHEMICAL INDUSTRY) 

We can conclude to the fact that bilateral trade and agreements between India and 

UAE have showed a optimistic development in all forms. The recent interest by 

policy makers of both nations to further supplement trade ties and its relation is also 

important to note in perspective of international business. 

As a result of growing economic relations between UAE and India, it is further 

recommended that policy makers can further undertake many unitary measures to 

boost trade. 

Furthermore, the point to consider is that without any bilateral ties and agreement, 

facilitating trade and commerce presents a mockery of itself. Hence, the measure 

undertaken by both nations in terms of policy that is effective to one another have 

had a close share to boost economic relationship between India and UAE in the 

current state of affairs. 


Thus, what we can finally conclude at this point is the fact that such development 

is good for the global economy, as well as the national economy of both trading 

nations. 

CONCLUSION (TOURISM INDUSTRY) 

‣ The UAE tourism sector therefore has strong Growth. In the study states that 

Dubai’s strategic location and strong air and transport infrastructure have 

given it the ability to project itself around the world as a hub of tourism. A 

sound long-term strategy to exploit future opportunities, and enable more 

private sector and government cooperation. 

‣ 

Emirati usually travels with the extendedfamily their requirements are also 

large family, their requirements are also large sized, including multiple room 

s or suites and a mini bus or voyager to travel in comfort. 

‣ UAE and India for long have enjoyed close and friendly ties based o 

n historic and 

cultural ties. Today UAE and India share political, economical and cultural li 

nks. A large 

Indian expatriate community resides in UAE. All these factors make India a 

well known 

country for the residents of UAE.The distance between India and UAE is very 

less UAE to India very convenient. 

‣ As per whole kind of data what we find it and after that researched on UAE 

Tourism we can say that as per India & UAE both are required to support to 

developments in their Tourism sector with the well collaboration through so 

which achieve a such level of better tours & travel system providing in the 

future. & Many opportunist to the business in future UAE & India in Tourism 

sector. 

‣ After this whole project report through we learnt and knew that regarding both 

the country's Tourism system. How it differs by structure and policy wise, try 

to build one good relation between two countries and keep relation for more 

various support in different sector.
