Qatar’s exports are set to stage a significant recovery, with real export growth projected to rise sharply
by 15% in 2025 according to S&P Global Analysis (2025).
This marks a turning point after several years of subdued performance, where export growth fluctuated
between mild gains and contractions.
The rebound reflects a combination of factors — the ramp-up in LNG output from the North Field
expansion, strengthening demand from key Asian markets, and steady performance in non-hydrocarbon
sectors such as petrochemicals and industrial products.
While energy remains the backbone of Qatar’s export portfolio, this growth outlook also signals
resilience across diversified trade channels.
For investors, export growth carries meaningful implications. A higher export volume improves Qatar’s
trade balance and foreign currency inflows, bolstering macroeconomic stability. This can strengthen the
Qatari riyal’s position, enhance fiscal flexibility, and indirectly support sectors like logistics, finance, and
infrastructure tied to trade activity.
The following years are expected to sustain this momentum, with exports forecast to grow at a healthy
7–10% pace through 2028. For market participants, this signals a stable external environment and
reinforces Qatar’s standing as one of the region’s most trade-reliant yet structurally sound economies.
