The market is in growth stage with vehicle sales beginning to follow a normal growth trend after continued exponential growth till 2014, followed by a rapid decline after that. Trends in the market were largely stimulated by decline in oil prices after 2014 and blockade led by Saudi & a few other neighboring gulf countries against Qatar.

By Type of Vehicle (Bikes, Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles): Cars accounted for a major share in the number of vehicles financed in the market owing to high volume of SUVs on Qatar roads , while the share of Light Commercial is lower than Cars and higher than bikes.
