Iran War Boosts UAE Car Dealer Profits
Despite the war and political and economic tensions, the car trade between the UAE and Iran has seen a noticeable revival in recent months. Since the start of the war in February 2026, approximately 55,000 foreign cars worth over one billion euros have entered Iran, most of them arriving through the UAE, which accounts for between 70% and 80% of its imports. Legal facilitation and exceptional procedures in free zones, such as Kish and Bandar Anzali, have contributed to expanding import operations and reducing customs costs, thereby boosting the activity of the used car trade in the region. Although there were expectations of a market decline due to the war, the UAE achieved a significant role as a major re-export hub for cars, leading to positive shifts, with the used car market in the UAE growing to reach $5.8 billion in 2025.
