Dubai-based master developer Nakheel’s trading hub for Chinese products Dragon Mart launches an online platform. A strategic initiative by Nakheel Malls and DP World, Dragonmart.ae is a dedicated shopping mall with an onsite fulfilment centre.
Dragonmart.ae is one of the largest B2B and B2C online wholesale marketplaces in Dubai from a variety, scale, cost and volume perspective. The e-commerce platform provides users with the ability to sort and discover over 35,000 products across 11 high-level categories with a focus on popular categories including home, games and toys, electronics, fashion and more.
Dragonmart.ae connects the Dragon Mart retailers to customers across the UAE and beyond. Amidst shifting consumer trends to e-commerce, the UAE’s SME sector is set to benefit from Dragonmart.ae, as more than 30% of items purchased at Dragon Mart are directly linked to business owners of SMEs.
Bringing wholesale bargains to the fingertips of customers across a range of competitive price points, Dragonmart.ae delivers a contactless experience to people at their doorsteps within 48 hours. The speedy delivery timings are in part due to the fact that Dragon Mart already utilises the DP World ports, coupled with the top of the line logistics management through the Dubai-based entity. This evolution in retail will see an onsite fulfilment centre powered by DP World at Dragon Mart in order to streamline the logistics and delivery, as well as maintain a superior B2B and B2C services across the UAE.
