Shiraz Industrial City
Established in 1991 with a reported initial area of 200 hectares, Shiraz Industrial City had expanded to approximately 1,400 hectares by 2023 according to secondary sources. The same source base reports around 30,000 people employed. Scale indicates a substantial industrial concentration, but operating, employment and land-area figures require current confirmation.
Strategic and market-access role
Shiraz Industrial City matters in the Hormuz Graph as a manufacturing and warehousing base for Fars Province’s largest urban market, linking industrial land, labor, equipment services, materials movement, and distribution around southern-central Iran. Its role is shaped by Shiraz’s position between Gulf-facing routes, Fars agriculture, regional consumer demand, and service-sector depth. The asset is relevant because Fars is not only a tourism or agriculture province; Shiraz also anchors industrial demand, B2B supply chains, repair services, packaging, and logistics flows serving nearby cities and southern corridors. The zone provides an industrial base near Shiraz. A secondary source places it approximately 20 km from Shiraz city centre and 16 km from customs; route conditions and access performance require verification.

Key risks and compliance considerations
