Qatar Logistics and Warehousing Market Competitive Landscape - Second Edition

Executive Summary

The Qatar Logistics and Warehousing Market Competition is fiercely fragmented and contested due to the large number of businesses competing in the sector. DHL Group, FedEx Corporation, DB Schenkar, A.P. Moller Maersk A/S, Mediterranean Shipping Company, Aramex, Bin Yousef Cargo, Aero Freight & Logistics WLL, Gulf Agency Co. Ltd, Gulf Warehousing Company, Milaha Maritime & Logistics Integrated WLL, Qatar Post, Target Logistic Service, Almas Movers International, and Ali Bin Ali Logistics are a few of the leading players in the market. The growth of Qatar's economy and the country's strategic location, wealth of natural resources, and friendly business environment have drawn both domestic and foreign players, creating a highly competitive market and fostering significant developments in eCommerce logistics. Expanding applications in a number of new industries, including food & beverage, personal care, pharmaceuticals & healthcare, and electronic goods, are helping to increase the market share for the logistics business.

Milaha, Gulf Warehousing Company, Bin Yousef Cargo and DHL are some of the major players in the market, with Milaha holding a slightly higher market share compared to DHL. Both companies have a significant presence and offer a wide range of logistics services. Their close competition suggests a relatively balanced market share distribution between them.

For instance, In December 2022, GAC Qatar, in partnership with Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZA) opened a new sustainably-built 27,000 m2 multi-user contract logistics facility and office building in Ras Bufontas Free Zone thus adding to the company’s existing infrastructure and also giving a boost to customer services and offerings in local and international markets.

Overall, it is worth noting that the competitive landscape is dynamic, with new entrants and emerging players continuously challenging the established companies.
