EMX, a leading logistics provider under 7X, has launched “EMX International”, a new service designed to streamline e-commerce parcel delivery across the GCC.
By consolidating shipments to the GCC region and allowing enterprises to use Dubai as a gateway EMX is enabling companies to streamline their logistics and make savings on time and operational costs.
In particular, it is seeking to improve the delivery procedures for companies that wish to broaden their reach to customers in Saudi Arabia as well as Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan. This could include businesses located in the UAE or beyond, such as China, Turkey, India, the UK and the USA.
According to the Dubai CommerCity report on the MEASA e-commerce landscape e-commerce in GCC grew by an impressive 33 per cent annually from 2019 to 2022. This growth was almost double the global rate of 17 per cent.
By 2025, the GCC’s total e-commerce revenue is expected to reach USD 50 billion, increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.95 per cent between 2023 and 2027. This increase is supported by an expanding number of online shoppers.
While shipping internationally within the GCC region, e-commerce companies in the UAE encounter various challenges that often require intricate logistical coordination across many countries and compliance with customs regulations. This may result in delays and higher operational expenses, ultimately leading to unpleasant customer experiences.
EMX specialises in handling first mile to last mile journeys, including customs clearance, ensuring transit times of 2-4 days for customers. To facilitate the service EMX has partnered with several courier service providers across the GCC.
“EMX is committed to customers convenience and reshaping the logistics landscape with an eye on future advancements and expansion,” Tariq Al Wahedi, General Manager of EMX, said.
