This facility was custom-built and incorporates technology, which enables us to provide exceptionally efficient service, delivering the freshest, top quality products to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Truebell\u2019s retail and food services business continues to benefit from the Gulf\u2019s favourable geography and the ongoing growth in hospitality and retail. According to KPMG\u2019s latest F&amp;B sector survey, Dubai alone is home to 2,935 F&amp;B outlets per million residents \u2013 second only to Paris which currently has 3,656 outlets per million residents.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the latest data from Euromonitor International reveals the retail industry in the UAE is projected to increase 18% between 2018 and 2023 from US$55 billion to US$63.6 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to this, Dubai\u2019s retail sector is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% between 2018 and 2023, according to new analysis conducted by Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, Dubai\u2019s retail sector generated an estimated AED 142 billion in sales, marking a growth rate of 6.8% with store-based retailing continuing to dominate sales, accounting for a market share of 95%.<\/p>\n<p>According to Gandhi, one of the biggest challenges facing distributors at present is the increasing number of large retailers in the region who are establishing their own distribution centres and working directly with the brands they sell.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile this has created some disruption for distributors across the region, we haven\u2019t felt the impact as our new fulfilment centre has enabled us to position Truebell as a leading distributor with an impressive sales arm and the most advanced logistics infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Truebell has grown exponentially since it was established in 1984. Today, it has a portfolio of over 10,000 products, underscoring its position as a leading importer, wholesaler, distributor and exporter in the GCC.<\/p>\n<p>Gandhi concluded: \u201cPlans are already afoot to expand our wide-range of existing products under our retail and food services division, with further announcements expected throughout 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truebell.org\/\">https:\/\/www.truebell.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13018\" src=\"http:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/E-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13019\" src=\"http:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/E1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UAE-headquartered Truebell, a leading GCC importer of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), is adding a wide range of new flavours to its existing portfolio of over 10,000 products.
