Qatar market overview

Qatar’s next construction cycle is starting to take shape. In recent months, the country has made progress on several high-profile, large-scale infrastructure schemes that are set to inject fresh momentum into Qatar’s construction pipeline and, crucially, translate into years of contract flow for local contractors, suppliers and service firms.

The largest of these schemes includes the proposed high-speed rail line connecting Riyadh and Doha, the revived Friendship Bridge to Bahrain and a planned road corridor linking Qatar with the UAE.

For the construction industry, these moves signal that the state is ready to shift from post-World Cup consolidation to a new, longer-term buildout anchored in regional connectivity.

That longer-term view is especially important after a flat 2025, when contract awards slipped to just over $2bn — the weakest annual total in the past five years — and many in the industry felt a widening gap between plans and procurement.

The mood has now shifted. With about $64bn-worth of projects in the pipeline, Qatar is not short of project opportunities.

The next phase has the potential to sustain contractors and the wider supply chain in the near term, while bringing a more predictable rhythm back to the market as these programmes are broken into packages and move to tender.
