The construction industry in Qatar is expected to expand by 2.3% in real terms this year, following an annual growth of 1.6% in 2021. The industry's output in 2022 will be supported by the government's focus on improving regional connectivity through the development of the country's rail, road, and port infrastructure, coupled with efforts to boost energy production and renewed investments owing to the ending of the economic blockade of Qatar from January 2021. According to the Planning and Statistics Authority (PSA), the industry's value add grew by 8.6% year on year (YoY) in Q1 2022, following Y-o-Y growth of 4.7% in the previous quarter. The industry's output in 2022 will also be supported by rising Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the country. According to the Investment Promotion Agency Qatar (IPA Qatar), in Q2 2022 the county attracted investments worth QAR69.9 billion ($19.2 billion).
GlobalData expects Qatar's construction industry to register an annual average growth rate of 3.6% from 2023 to 2026, supported by investments in the transport, renewable energy, housing, and oil and gas sectors. Forecast-period growth in the industry will also be supported by investments as part of the Qatar National Vision 2030, 2030 Asian Games, and the expansion of gas production facilities at Ras Laffan. Under the Qatar National Vision 2030, QAR60 billion ($16.4 billion) will be invested in infrastructure and real estate projects by 2025. In addition, the country's plan to increase the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) production capacity from 77 million tonnes per year to 126 million tonnes per year by 2027 will support investment in oil and gas projects. The industry will benefit directly during the construction phase of the North Field expansion. Once completed, the LNG expansion will bolster the energy sector in the country over the forecast period. In June 2022, Qatar Energy signed a partnership deal with Total Energies for the first and largest phase of a nearly QAAR109.2 billion ($30 billion) expansion of the North Field project. On a positive note, the rise in oil prices has boosted the government's earnings, thereby freeing up funding for the country's ambitious spending plans.
