Moreover, increasing IPO activities are also contributing to the market growth. For example, Delivery Hero announced plans in November 2024 to sell a 15% stake in its Middle East and North Africa subsidiary, Talabat, through an IPO in Dubai. Talabat reported revenues of USD 2.3 billion and a net income of USD 257 million in the previous year. These developments indicate a dynamic and rapidly evolving market, with companies leveraging strategic partnerships and financial maneuvers to strengthen their positions.
