Market Growth Factors

The Qatar construction sector is benefiting from sustained public sector investment in infrastructure and economic diversification as part of National Vision 2030. Transport projects such as roads, expressways and Metro extensions, urban developments, and mega energy schemes are creating demand for civil engineering, building materials and niche contracting which will continue into the medium term. Increased public investment is likely to support large scale projects that improve connectivity and livability of urban areas, where sustainable and climate-resilient development goals are pursued. This is likely to provide opportunities related to the residential, commercial and utility sectors as the demand for improved infrastructure and resources becomes more popular.

Pursuant to this, there are many important continuing or future programs to expand the capacity of solar and other low-carbon energy generation technologies. Efforts include investments in solar energy plants, distributed generation systems and related infrastructure throughout the TGA to help the TGA achieve emissions reduction and energy transition targets. The ambition of advanced engineering combined with grid connection and sustainable construction entails a search for local and foreign expertise to meet national commitments to wider environmental agendas. As such, architecture and building strategies in the sector deploy advanced technology and utilize green construction technologies, continuing a trend in energy-related markets.

Trends in construction technology including modular and offsite construction are becoming more commonplace as developers look to deliver projects faster, more cost-effective, and with greater sustainability. Modular and offsite technologies can also reduce disruption on the construction site, improve quality, and help meet the goal of being environmentally friendly while still being fast. The increasing use of prefabricated elements in residential, commercial and infrastructure construction projects will ease the rapid delivery of projects given supply chain limitations and labor shortages. The adoption of these techniques, combined with digital and climate-resilient technologies, will raise productivity and the competitiveness of Qatar's construction sector in a diversified economy.
