Dubai Multi Commodities Center Unveils 2026 Trade Outlook
A study published by the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) predicts a slowdown in global trade growth in 2026, with a focus on artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, and new trade routes as key factors for future competitiveness. The study showed that trade in AI-related commodities, such as semiconductors and data center equipment, grew by over 20% in the first half of 2025, while the growth rate for non-AI-related goods was less than 4%. The forecasts indicate that global export growth may decline to 1.9% in 2026, with the exports of services continuing to surpass those of goods, amid rising import restrictions and tariff barriers.
