The UAE real estate services sector is entering a new growth stage, with its worth expected to reach almost Dh97 billion by 2031—showcasing the industry's durability and bolstering the country's status as a worldwide investment hub despite persistent global uncertainties.
Mordor Intelligence predicts that the market will grow from Dh74.5 billion in 2026 to Dh97.6 billion by 2031, achieving a consistent compound annual growth rate of 5.54 percent. The expansion is fueled by ongoing demand for brokerage, property management, valuation, and facility management services, highlighting the growing scale and complexity of the UAE’s real estate sector.
Central to this growth is Dubai, which persists in leading the national scene. In 2025, the emirate represented 58.4 percent of the overall revenue from real estate services, emphasizing its position as the nation's main real estate center and an international focal point for investment and wealth protection.

The services sector is intricately connected to the overall UAE real estate market, expected to attain around $709 billion in worth by 2026. With the rapid growth of development in residential, commercial, and logistics areas, the need for professional services is increasing correspondingly—especially for intricate projects like branded residences, mixed-use communities, and extensive infrastructure-linked developments.
The momentum continues to be supported by population growth, foreign direct investment, and long-term residency programs.
The UAE’s capacity to draw high-net-worth individuals is also boosting the demand for luxury properties, a sector anticipated to continue being a major contributor to services growth until the decade concludes.
Concurrently, digital transformation is altering the delivery of real estate services. Innovative regulations and governance frameworks are enhancing transparency and adherence, while private sector entities are progressively utilizing advanced technologies to boost efficiency and decision-making throughout the development process.
Lifesize Plans Dubai is one company gaining from this change, experiencing increased demand for its immersive architectural solutions since its entry into the UAE market in 2023. The company focuses on life-sized projections and augmented reality technologies that enable developers, architects, and investors to experience properties at an accurate 1:1 scale prior to the onset of construction.
