Dieppe isn’t just growing—it’s transforming and attracting. Thanks to its strategic location, smart urban planning, and a rapidly expanding workforce, the city is becoming a must-watch economic hub in New Brunswick.

Here’s an overview of the five sectors experiencing strong growth. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, an investor, or simply curious, these areas deserve your full attention.

1. Logistics & Transportation: a hub on the move

Located right next to the Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport and connected to Atlantic Canada’s major highways, Dieppe has become a logistics crossroads.

Many companies in trucking, warehousing, distribution, and import-export are already established here—and looking to expand.

Why so much momentum?

• Fast access to the airport (YQM)
• Direct links to markets in the Atlantic provinces, Québec, Ontario, and the U.S. East Coast
• Connections to the Trans-Canada Highway and Veterans Memorial Highway
• Modern road infrastructure
• A direct gateway to national and international markets

2. Manufacturing & Processing

Manufacturing and agri-food processing benefit from proximity to agricultural areas and Dieppe’s industrial infrastructure. The city attracts companies specializing in food processing, manufacturing of goods and equipment, and other industrial activities requiring purpose-built production space.

What this means:

• Opportunities for industrial and agri-food entrepreneurs
• Demand for qualified and technical labour
• Development and export potential at regional and international scales

3. Construction & Renovation: building for tomorrow

With a fast-growing population, demand for housing, infrastructure, and commercial space is rising quickly. The construction sector is therefore booming.

Residential, commercial, and industrial projects are multiplying, and building companies are hiring.

Profiles in demand:

• Carpenters, masons, electricians, plumbers
• Real estate developers
• Materials suppliers
• Engineers and specialized technicians

4. Information Technology: an emerging digital hub

Dieppe is attracting more and more digital companies, particularly in IT services, cybersecurity, web development, and online solutions.

Why is a mid-sized city so appealing in this field? Because it combines the best of both worlds: high-performance tech infrastructure and a quality of life that attracts talent.

Dieppe’s IT advantages:

• High-speed fiber-optic internet
• Competitive operating costs
• A lifestyle that’s attractive to digital professionals

5. Retail & Services: meeting the needs of a young, dynamic population

Demographic growth—especially among young families—is driving the opening of local retail and proximity services.

New local brands, franchises, cafés, fitness studios, and personal services are moving into growing neighbourhoods and shopping areas.

Areas to watch:

Health, wellness, and aesthetics: a fast-evolving sector, driven by residents focused on balance and quality of life

Quick-service or specialty dining: innovative concepts appealing to families and busy workers alike

Educational and after-school services: an expanding market meeting parents’ needs and diverse learning pathways

Arts, events, and recreation: Dieppe stands out for local initiatives and major events like the Canadian Road Cycling Championships, which attract visitors and residents while strengthening the city’s economic and cultural momentum
