Top 20 ecommerce brands in Dubai and the UAE in 2026
UAE ecommerce market projected to pass USD 9.2 billion in 2026, growing 10 to 12 percent a year, Statista
Dubai and the wider UAE run one of the busiest and fastest growing online shopping markets in the region. To make sense of who actually leads that market, we put together this list of the top 20 ecommerce brands operating in Dubai and the UAE, grouped by the niche each one leads: multi-category marketplaces, fashion, luxury, modest fashion, beauty, electronics, grocery and quick commerce, baby and family, and home and DIY. For the full data behind the market size figure above, see Tomsher's UAE ecommerce market size and growth report.
If any of these top brands make you think "I want to build something like that," this list doubles as a look at what it takes to compete at that level. Tomsher is Dubai's leading full-service ecommerce web development company and digital marketing agency, rated 4.9 out of 5 from 192 Google reviews, and we design, build and grow online stores across Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and custom platforms for brands competing in exactly these categories.
Talk to Tomsher about your storeMulti-category marketplaces
These are the biggest, most visited shopping destinations in the UAE, the ones shoppers open first before searching anywhere else.
Noon
Noon, searched as noon UAE or noon.com Dubai, is one of the two leading general online marketplaces in the UAE and the region's own answer to global ecommerce giants. It was founded by Mohamed Alabbar, who also founded Emaar, and it is headquartered in Dubai. Noon sells everything from electronics and fashion to groceries through noon Daily, and it strengthened its position as a top fashion destination by acquiring Namshi outright. For shoppers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE, noon is consistently one of the first names that comes up in any search for online shopping.
Amazon.ae
Amazon.ae, commonly searched as Amazon UAE or Amazon Dubai online shopping, is the other leading general marketplace UAE shoppers rely on. It began as Souq.com, the Middle East's top marketplace before Amazon acquired it in 2017, and it was rebranded to Amazon.ae in 2019. It carries the same broad catalogue structure shoppers expect from Amazon globally, from electronics and books to home and grocery, backed by local fulfilment for UAE delivery.
Dubizzle
Dubizzle, searched as Dubizzle UAE or buy and sell on Dubizzle, is the UAE's top classifieds and peer to peer marketplace, used for everything from cars and electronics to furniture and property. It is part of Dubizzle Group, the Dubai headquartered classifieds business that also owns Bayut, backed by OLX Group. Where noon and Amazon.ae are retail marketplaces selling their own and third-party inventory, Dubizzle's model connects individual buyers and sellers directly, making it a leading name in a different corner of UAE ecommerce.
Fashion and apparel
Fashion is the most competitive ecommerce category in the UAE, and these are the top names covering everything from fast fashion to region wide apparel chains.
Namshi
Namshi, searched as Namshi UAE or Namshi Dubai fashion, is the UAE's leading fashion and lifestyle ecommerce platform, selling clothing, footwear and accessories for men, women and kids from a mix of regional and international labels. Namshi is now owned by noon following its acquisition, and it continues to operate as the region's top dedicated fashion storefront alongside noon's other categories.
Sivvi
Sivvi, searched as Sivvi.com UAE or Sivvi Dubai, is a UAE based online fashion retailer carrying a wide mix of international and regional apparel, footwear and accessory brands, positioned as an accessible alternative to the larger fashion marketplaces for Gulf shoppers.
Splash
Splash, searched as Splash Fashion UAE or Splash Dubai stores, is a top fast fashion retail brand under Landmark Group, one of the largest retail and hospitality conglomerates in the Middle East. Splash sells apparel for men, women and kids through its large UAE store network as well as through its own ecommerce storefront, and it remains one of the most recognised fashion names on the UAE high street and online.
Max Fashion
Max Fashion, searched as Max Fashion UAE online or Max Dubai, is another leading Landmark Group brand, positioned as a value focused family fashion retailer with one of the widest UAE store networks and an ecommerce site covering menswear, womenswear, kidswear and home accessories.
Luxury fashion
Dubai's luxury retail scene has a strong digital presence, and these two platforms are the top names carrying premium and designer inventory online.
Ounass
Ounass, searched as Ounass Dubai or Ounass luxury fashion UAE, is the region's leading dedicated luxury fashion ecommerce platform, carrying designer clothing, bags, shoes and accessories from top international fashion houses. Ounass is part of Al Tayer Group's digital commerce arm, and it positions itself as the definitive home of luxury online shopping in the UAE and the wider Middle East, rather than treating luxury as one category inside a general marketplace.
Level Shoes
Level Shoes, searched as Level Shoes Dubai Mall or Level Shoes UAE, is one of the top luxury footwear and accessories retailers in the region, with its flagship location inside The Dubai Mall alongside its ecommerce storefront. The brand has been expanding beyond the UAE, with reported plans to open in the United States in 2026 and 2027, according to trade press coverage of its international growth, a sign of how far its reputation as a leading luxury footwear destination now reaches.
Modest fashion
Modest fashion is a distinct and fast growing category across the Gulf, and UAE shoppers have easy access to the category's top specialist platform.
Modanisa
Modanisa, searched as Modanisa UAE or modest fashion Dubai, is one of the world's largest modest fashion ecommerce platforms, originally founded in Turkey, and it ships to and serves shoppers across the UAE at scale. It focuses on hijabs, abayas, modest dresses and modest activewear, making it a leading, purpose built name in a category most general fashion retailers still treat as an afterthought.
Beauty and personal care
Beauty is one of the highest frequency ecommerce categories in the UAE, with both regional and global names competing for repeat shoppers.
Faces
Faces, searched as Faces UAE or Faces beauty Dubai, is a top Middle East beauty and cosmetics retailer carrying skincare, makeup and fragrance from a wide mix of international brands. Faces operates under Al Tayer Group's beauty and cosmetics retail division, and its ecommerce storefront is one of the most established beauty destinations for UAE shoppers.
Sephora UAE
Sephora UAE, searched as Sephora Dubai or Sephora UAE online, is the regional arm of the world's leading beauty retailer, operated in the Middle East by Chalhoub Group, one of the region's largest luxury retail groups. Sephora's UAE ecommerce site mirrors its in-store catalogue of skincare, makeup, fragrance and haircare across mass and prestige brands, cementing its place as a top choice for beauty shoppers in Dubai.
Electronics
Electronics is a high intent, comparison heavy category, and these two names cover most of the UAE's online electronics demand.
Sharaf DG
Sharaf DG, searched as Sharaf DG UAE or Sharaf DG online Dubai, is one of the UAE's leading electronics and technology retailers, with one of the largest UAE store networks in the category and an ecommerce site covering mobiles, computers, home appliances and gaming, making it a top destination for tech shoppers across the country.

Talabat, searched as Talabat UAE or Talabat Dubai delivery app, is a top food and grocery delivery platform operating across the UAE, part of the Delivery Hero group. Beyond restaurant delivery, Talabat's grocery arm delivers from supermarkets and convenience stores across Dubai, and it has grown into one of the leading on-demand delivery names in the country.
InstaShop
InstaShop, searched as InstaShop UAE or InstaShop Dubai grocery delivery, is a Dubai founded online grocery delivery platform that was once one of the region's top standalone grocery apps. Delivery Hero originally acquired InstaShop, and Talabat later acquired InstaShop from Delivery Hero, bringing the grocery delivery platform under the Talabat umbrella in the UAE.
Baby, kids and family
Parents shopping for baby and kids products in Dubai have two top dedicated regional ecommerce platforms built specifically for this category.
Mumzworld
Mumzworld, searched as Mumzworld UAE or Mumzworld Dubai baby products, is the UAE's leading ecommerce platform focused on baby, mother and kids products, from feeding and nursery items to toys and maternity wear. Mumzworld raised multiple funding rounds since launch and was later acquired by Saudi Arabia's Tamer Group, a milestone that reflects its position as one of the top names in Gulf parenting ecommerce.
Sprii
Sprii, searched as Sprii UAE or Sprii Dubai kids store, is a Dubai founded baby and kids ecommerce marketplace selling products across feeding, nursery, toys and maternity, competing directly with Mumzworld as one of the top two names shoppers search for in this niche.
Home and DIY
Home improvement and DIY is a smaller but steady UAE ecommerce category, led by one top name.
Ace Hardware UAE
Ace Hardware UAE, searched as Ace Hardware Dubai or Ace Hardware UAE online, is the UAE arm of the home, garden and hardware retail chain, operated by Al Futtaim and one of the leading names in the category. Its ecommerce site sells tools, garden equipment, furniture and home improvement products alongside its UAE store network, making it the top destination for DIY shoppers buying online.
