With the population of the United Arab Emirates being 9.83 million, there are 9.73 million active internet users who are also on social media. The rate of internet penetration in the United Arab Emirates is the highest in the world at 99%. The average user spends 7 hours and 3 minutes accessing the internet, with about 2 hours and 57 minutes being spent on social media. The United Arab Emirates accounts for 46% of the $23.43 billion spending on digital advertising in the entire Middle East-North Africa region.
There are 8.1 million Facebook users in the United Arab Emirates. Around 3.8 million
residents use Instagram, and 3.3 million are on Twitter every day. It may be interesting to note that 78% of social media users in the Middle East use these platforms to find
inspiration for their purchases. So you can see why social media advertising makes up 45% of the total ad spend on digital media. Under these circumstances, digital business setup in Dubai makes a lot of sense to the aspiring entrepreneur.
