E-commerce has been accelerated in the Middle East and around the world since the outbreak of the epidemic. The unprecedented shift in consumer behavior to the digital space is driving much of this trend. The total number of DED Trader licenses issued during 2020 reached 5,799, an increase of 132% compared to 2019, when 2,500 licenses were issued. This license enables start-ups to conduct business activities online and across social networking accounts, which is mainly aimed at entrepreneurs with limited assets as it differs most from a trading license in that it does not require a physical office or shop.
The increase in DED Trader license issued by Dubai Economy demonstrates its continued support for the e-commerce sector and highlights the competitiveness of the local economy.
