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.
The analyst 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.
