Qatar Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2030 (Q2 2026)

Following a real terms growth of 8.8% in 2025, Qatar’s construction industry is expected to contract marginally by 0.4% in 2026. This decline is attributed to escalating regional conflict after US and Israeli attacks on Iran, which led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, disrupted supply chains, and increased construction material prices. A decline in building permits and weakened investor confidence amid growing security concerns are also impacting the sector. Supply chain disruptions are affecting the availability and pricing of imported steel, cement, and construction equipment, further increasing overall project costs and putting additional pressure on construction activity across the country. In March 2026, QatarEnergy, the state-owned national petroleum and natural gas company, suspended all ongoing offshore contracting work due to rising risks of drone and missile attacks on offshore facilities.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, Qatar’s construction industry is expected to register an annual average growth of 4.9% from 2027 to 2030, supported by investments in renewable energy and transport infrastructure projects, coupled with the Government’s Manufacturing Strategy (2024-2030), which aims to increase the value added by manufacturing industries to approximately QAR70.5 billion ($19.4 billion), raise non-hydrocarbon exports to around QAR49 billion ($13.5 billion), and increase industrial investment to QAR326 billion ($89.6 billion) by 2030. Growth will also be supported by country’s aim to increase the renewable energy share in the total energy to 18% in 2030 from approximately 5% in 2024. Furthermore, under the Qatar Ministry of Transport (MoT) Strategy 2025-2030, also known as ’Reaching Beyond Horizons,’ the government aims to develop 124 transport infrastructure projects across 42 initiatives by 2030, with an estimated investment of QAR1.2 billion ($329.7 million).
