Lalamove, the Hong Kong-based on-demand delivery platform, has officially launched its services in the United Arab Emirates, marking its 14th market globally and expanding its footprint across the EMEA region.
The company’s services are now fully available across Dubai, with delivery coverage extending to Sharjah and Abu Dhabi. Founded in 2013, Lalamove leverages technology to seamlessly connect users with delivery drivers and vehicles on demand — providing rapid, efficient logistics solutions for individuals and businesses alike.
Lalamove’s entry into the UAE comes amid a growing demand for flexible logistics, especially among SMEs, which contribute approximately 40% of the country’s GDP. With the rise of e-commerce, businesses are increasingly seeking smart, tech-powered delivery options.
The platform offers features such as multi-stop orders and real-time tracking to optimize delivery routes. Its diverse fleet ranges from compact vehicles to 1-ton and 3-ton pickup trucks, enabling cost-effective services for businesses of all sizes.
“The UAE has long been a pivotal global trading and logistics hub, connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa. The Lalamove team is thrilled to bring our proven model to the UAE, customised to meet the unique local needs,”
said Paul Loo, Chief Operating Officer of Lalamove.
“By leveraging our advanced technology, we aim to empower SMEs and create earning opportunities for driver partners. Our ability to adapt to local nuances enables us to implement tailored strategies for each market, delivering scalable, agile logistics solutions that drive growth for the local economy,” he added.
Lalamove’s UAE launch is part of a broader strategy to expand its presence in high-growth markets and support the evolving needs of digital-first businesses in the region.
