Qatar Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (Q4 2025)

Summary

Qatar’s construction industry is expected to expand by 5% in real terms in 2025 and 4.3% in 2026, supported by investments in renewable energy and transportation infrastructure sectors, coupled with investments in the 2025 Budget. According to the Planning and Statistics Authority (PSA), Qatar’s construction value-add grew by 6.6% year-on-year (YoY) in H1 2025. Overall, it grew by 1.4% in 2024. Growth will also be supported by the 2025 Budget, which includes a total expenditure of QAR210.2 billion ($57.7 billion), marking an increase of 4.6% compared to the 2024 Budget allocation.

GlobalData expects the industry to rebound at an annual average growth rate of 4.6% from 2027 to 2029, supported by investments in renewable energy, and water infrastructure projects. By 2030, Qatar aims to install distributed solar generation of up to 200MW and expand its renewable power capacity to approximately 4GW, as part of the Qatar National Renewable Energy Strategy (QNRES); the government also aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 27% and have carbon-zero footprint by 2050. In October 2025, the state-owned petroleum company QatarEnergy announced that it plans to invest QAR428 billion ($117.6 billion) by 2027, highlighting its commitment to becoming a major global partner in the energy transition. This extensive investment scope includes expanding liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacities, enhancing low-carbon energy solutions, and diversifying QatarEnergy’s international trade activities.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
