Lalamove has launched two new services in the UAE, marking the completion of its first year of operations.
After exceeding its initial first-year targets, the platform has expanded from a Dubai-only service to a nationwide network covering all seven emirates, while its driver partner network grew ten times over.
To support this growth, Lalamove has officially opened a new office in Dubai. The new workspace will serve as the operational base as the company continues to expand its logistics support for local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Ashvin Nair, Managing Director of Lalamove UAE, said that, “Our first year in the UAE has shown strong demand for flexible, on-demand delivery among local businesses. We achieved tenfold growth in orders and served more than 50,000 users, which shows that SMEs are increasingly choosing Lalamove as a practical logistics partner. With the introduction of larger trucks and shared delivery services, we can now better support businesses of different sizes while helping them avoid the high costs of maintaining their own fleets.”
Lalamove 2 new services tailored to local businesses
The introduction of two newest services comes in direct response to feedback from local commercial clients looking to streamline their daily supply chains:
Larger Vehicles for Bulk Orders: Lalamove has added 1-ton and 3-ton trucks to its active fleet, alongside existing cars and vans. These vehicles are designed for heavy commercial goods, office moves, and large stock transfers that need secure, enclosed transport between emirates.
Lalamove Pooling (Shared Delivery): Built for businesses with regular, non-urgent shipments, this service allows multiple clients to share cargo space. This introduces a cost-effective option for companies that do not require immediate, same-day delivery.
Creating reliable earning opportunities for driver partners
Lalamove’s growth over the past year has been closely tied to its driver partner network, which expanded tenfold. In line with the UAE’s focus on supporting flexible, independent work, it provides a transparent earning model for independent drivers. The app gives driver partners optimized route planning, clear earnings tracking, and the freedom to set their own hours.
With the UAE’s last-mile delivery market projected to reach $4.85 billion by 2030, the platform enters its second year as an established player in the logistics sector. The new Dubai office will support local hiring to expand commercial teams, build closer partnerships with local chambers of commerce, and roll out new app features tailored to Gulf businesses.
