The UAE computer accessories market is growing strongly - with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 5% from 2024 to 2029, especially for laptop accessories such as cooling pads, docking stations, keyboards, and external storage. Demand is driven by widespread remote working, e-learning, and gaming trends. Meanwhile, on the peripherals side, things like mice, keyboards, and monitors continue to expand thanks to ergonomic innovation and hybrid work demands.
Key Trends Shaping the Sector
Remote Work & Gaming Growth
The shift toward hybrid work and online education continues to ramp up demand for peripherals such as noise‑cancelling headsets, ergonomic keyboards & mice, webcams, and multi‑port USB hubs.

Dubai's climate and long working hours drive demand for cooling pads and adjustable laptop stands. Ergonomic mice and keyboards are also highly sought after for comfort and productivity.
Quality & Compliance Emphasis
UAE regulations (ECAS/RoHS and TRA certification) ensure safety and consistency, prompting consumers to prioritize certified and branded accessories over grey-market alternatives.
Eco‑Friendly & Smart Products
Sustainable materials like biodegradable phone cases and solar-powered chargers are gaining traction. At the same time, smart accessories - such as AI-powered docking stations and Bluetooth earphones - are on the rise.
