United Arab Emirates Non Oil Private Sector PMI

The United Arab Emirates' non-oil private sector expanded robustly in September 2025 with the PMI reaching 54.2, up from 53.3 in August. This 1.7% increase reflects a significant rise in new orders, the fastest since February 2025, driven by stronger domestic demand and client engagement. Hiring also accelerated to its quickest pace since May 2025 to manage increased workloads. Although input costs rose, output price inflation eased, indicating heightened competition for business. United Arab Emirates' record low non-oil private sector PMI was 52.9 in July 2025 and record high was 57.7 in October 2023.
