DP World posted strong results for the first half of 2025, highlighting the resilience of its global trade network despite ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
Revenue jumped 20.4% year-on-year to $11.24 billion. Adjusted EBITDA grew 21.4% to US$3.03 billion. Container volumes reached 45.4 million TEU, up 5.6% on a like-for-like basis.
“Despite disruptions like the Red Sea closure and trade uncertainties, our integrated approach and key infrastructure investments have allowed us to support cargo owners and deliver strong results,” said Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman and CEO, DP World Group.
DP World invested US$1.08 billion in strategic growth markets during H1. Planned full-year capex of US$2.5 billion will focus on expanding Jebel Ali Port, Drydocks World, London Gateway, Dakar, and DP World’s logistics platforms. The investments aim to increase terminal capacity, improve supply chain integration, and strengthen digital capabilities.
Across terminals under its operational control, DP World handled 27.4 million TEU, a 7.5% rise from H1 2024.
“This performance reflects momentum in Ports & Terminals and Marine Services, strong cash generation, and a disciplined balance sheet,” said Yuvraj Narayan, Group Deputy CEO & CFO.
Through Unifeeder, DP World provides sustainable multimodal transport solutions connecting global shipping lines and cargo owners. Its freight forwarding platform now spans roughly 300 locations and covers over 90% of global trade lanes.
Recent acquisitions have expanded DP World’s offerings, improving logistics efficiency and connectivity across key trade corridors.
Looking ahead, the company expects solid full-year EBITDA growth, driven by throughput gains, operational leverage, and ongoing strategic investments.
“We remain optimistic about the future of global trade. DP World is positioned to deliver efficient, resilient, and sustainable logistics solutions that create long-term value,” added bin Sulayem.
