The gradual economic recovery of Qatar is contributed majorly by road freight transport market
- Qatar boasts leading air cargo service providers, notably Qatar Airways Cargo and Qatar Airways. In November 2023, Dronamics and Qatar Airways Cargo forged an interline agreement, bolstering their delivery networks. This collaboration significantly broadens their operational scope, particularly in regions that traditionally posed logistical challenges. Qatar Airways Cargo's move aligns with its VISION 2027 strategy, a key component of its 5-year plan.
- The Public Works Authority (Ashgal) holds sway over all construction contracts, including those in the transportation realm. A notable project under Ashgal's purview, catering to the industry's demand, is the QAR 71.9 billion (USD 19.59 billion) road and infrastructure initiative in Al Ebb and Leabaib, within the Al Daayen municipality. Commenced in 2019, the project was completed in Q3 of 2024. Spanning 39 km of roads, 87 km of illuminated pedestrian and cycle lanes, and boasting 6,720 parking spaces, the project also encompasses landscaping, beautification, and utility upgrades.
Qatar Freight and Logistics Market Trends
Qatar is steadily investing in infrastructure development and warehouse construction to boost sector's GDP contribution
- In May 2024, Qatar's Free Zones Authority (QFZ) and FedEx Logistics signed a MoU to establish a regional logistics facility in Qatar's free zones. The facility, part of FedEx's Trade Networks Transport & Brokerage division, will be located in Ras Bufontas Free Zone and will include a modern logistics office. Strategically situated in the Gulf, Qatar's location offers access to 60% of the world's population within 8 hours by air and 5 days by sea, contributing to the steady growth of its freight and logistics market.
- The Qatar Public Works Authority (Ashghal) plans to award the infrastructure contract for the Roads and Infrastructure in North of Al Rifaa Street, Doha, by mid-2024. This project aims to improve the area's road infrastructure. It involves traffic management, site clearance, removing spoil and temporary structures, utility works, and ecological mitigation. The construction is expected to take three years, finishing by 2027, with a 400-day maintenance period after completion.
The fuel prices have remained steady in Q1 2024, with aim to increase LNG production in Qatar till 2030
- QatarEnergy revealed the fuel prices for Premium and Super petrol, as well as diesel, for May 2024. Premium petrol remained steady at QAR 1.95 (USD 0.53) per liter, while Super petrol is set at QAR 2.10 (USD 0.57) per liter. Diesel will be priced at QAR 2.05 (USD 0.55) per liter in May 2024. The Ministry of Energy and Industry started pegging the fuel prices to the international market and from September 2017, it is QatarEnergy who now announces the monthly price list.
- Qatar plans to increase LNG production despite low prices, aiming to regain market share from the U.S. The project will expand production in the North Field, the world's largest natural gas field, with plans for the western part finalized by 2025 or 2026. Production is set to start in 2030, alongside ongoing projects in the eastern and southern regions. Overall, annual production capacity is expected to reach about 64 million tonnes, nearly doubling from the current 77 million tonnes to 142 million tonnes by 2030.
