Qatar Freight And Logistics Market Trends

Gradual economic recovery post covid-19 since 2021

• As one of the largest liquefied nitrogen gas (LNG) suppliers globally, the country has supported the growth of the logistics market. The market's growth can be attributed to new expansion plans as the country hosts the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The market is expected to be driven by expanding industrial activities, growing e-commerce and automotive sectors, upcoming infrastructure in the country, and continuous investments by the government to develop logistics infrastructure. In 2020, the transportation and storage sector had a GDP share contribution of around 4.1%, the highest from 2017-2022. The share contribution has reduced to 3% as of 2022.
• After the COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdown, imports from neighboring countries stopped, and Qatar shifted its focus toward European and Asian countries to meet the import demand. Hence, its logistics sector grew despite the lockdown. However, the annual rate of change in vehicle sales in Qatar in 2020 decreased by approximately 19%. The annual growth rate of vehicle sales in 2013 was about 9.2%. The progressive plans of the Qatari government to develop the country into a new logistical and regional center have supported the growth of the country's logistics market during review period.

The goal of the country is to become a transport hub for a significant portion of the world.
