United Arab Emirates – September 30, 2025 – Nvidia has been one of the outstanding growth stories of the past decade, and thanks to AI Boom, it has transformed from a niche graphics chip maker to the most valuable company in the world.
Revenues have skyrocketed in recent years as demand for advanced GPUs has skyrocketed and stocks have risen more than 1,200% over the past five years. However, the past 12 months have presented challenges. US restrictions on chip exports to China have affected sales in one of Nvidia’s major markets, creating uncertainty for investors when the chip giant appears to be unstoppable. China dominated most of last quarter conversations, and the lack of H20 chip sales in the region underscores the increased geopolitical complexity Nvidia has to navigate.
Despite these hurdles, Nvidia continues to see strong global demand. Sovereign wealth funds have emerged as a major driver of growth, with state-backed entities adopting NVIDIA technology at scale. This momentum is particularly pronounced in the Middle East. Nvidia recently announced a partnership with the Technology Innovation Institute in Abu Dhabi, launching its first joint AI and Robotics Lab in the region, along with the UAE’s first AI technology centre. The United Arab Emirates is becoming one of the most important growth markets in Nvidia, outside the US and China, with 500,000 chips expected to be imported to support the country’s AI ambitions.
“This emphasizes the United Arab Emirates’ establishment as a global hub for artificial intelligence and advanced technology, while also giving Nvidia a different foothold beyond its traditional US and Chinese hubs.” Josh Gilbert, Etro market analyst.
For retail investors, it presents a more diverse Nvidia growth story that is increasingly linked to demand backed by Gulf sovereignty. With annual sales of nearly USD 200 billion and an increase of more than 50% year-on-year, Nvidia defines the age of AI and continues to expand impressively. With Nvidia being the most held inventory in the UAE and in the world, retail investors are actively participating in one of the most powerful innovation themes of the decade.
