UAE’s PropTech Sector Set to Reach USD 1.55 Billion by 2030

Dubai, UAE - As the country accelerates its vision to become a global hub for innovation and smart urban living, PropTech is emerging as a core driver of transformation across development, management, transactions, and investment processes. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and immersive technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), the UAE’s real estate industry is achieving new levels of efficiency, transparency, and customer experience.

These technologies are particularly reshaping the construction and design sectors, where VR and AR tools enable precise visualization, collaborative design reviews, and real-time adjustments that reduce errors and costs. Their adoption has become instrumental in supporting the UAE’s fast-paced, high-value development landscape; improving both productivity and safety while enhancing client engagement.

One company that has recognized the UAE’s innovation-driven momentum is Lifesize Plans Dubai, the regional arm of the Australian firm renowned for its life-sized architectural projection technology. Since entering the market in 2023, the company has witnessed steady growth, offering an advanced pre-construction visualization solution that allows architects, developers, and clients to experience designs at a true 1:1 scale which is a breakthrough tool for design validation and project certainty.

Georges Calas, CEO of Lifesize Plans Dubai, commented:

“From immersive Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) walkthroughs to AI-driven analytics, these technologies are redefining how real estate is bought, sold, and built in the UAE. As the country continues to push the boundaries of innovation and prove to be one of the top investment destinations globally, PropTech is fast becoming a cornerstone of the market’s long-term resilience and competitiveness.”

The UAE’s commitment to smart, sustainable development continues to attract both investors and innovators, driving adoption of digital tools that enhance decision-making, streamline workflows, and enrich the overall real estate experience.

As government initiatives and private-sector investments align, PropTech is no longer just a supplement to the industry — it is the foundation of the UAE’s next-generation property ecosystem, positioning the nation at the forefront of global real estate transformation.
