It has also been observed that there has been a concentration in the competitive structure of the market with increase in strategic partnerships such as the one between GWC and UPS in 2015.
How Freight forwarding Market of Qatar is Performing?
Freight Forwarding has been the leading segment of the overall logistics and warehousing market over the past few years. During the period 2011-2013, the freight forwarding segment has increased due to the expanding oil and gas projects along with burgeoning infrastructural developments in the country leading to further development in the market.  Retail and FMCG industry in the country has also played an important role in the growth of logistics market in Qatar. These industries demand freight forwarding services for transporting the goods from manufacturing point to the selling point. The years 2015 and 2016 showcased low growth pace as compared to other years due to a fall in oil and gas projects even when the country remained the largest supplier of natural gas. Major projects were signed with major players such as GWC and GAC as long term contracts, especially in the oil and gas segment of the industry.
Sea freight movement has majorly dominated the market for Logistics in Qatar. High amount of imports and exports in the country has attributed to the increase in the percentage share of sea freight.

In terms of domestic and international freight forwarding segmentation, international freight forwarding has largely contributed in the revenues of the industry.

The warehousing in Qatar has been an important revenue source apart from the freight forwarding segment. The country has witnessed the prices rise of around ~% in warehousing rental annually. The warehousing industry in the country has hence observed a growth in terms of revenues as well as the volume handled by the warehouses in past few years.
Major players in the country have been observed to increase their warehousing capabilities such as GWC has recently completed their fifth phase of expansion of LVQ. The expansion of manufacturing and industrial activities in the country has also aided the market growth during the recent period. The improvement in infrastructure and expansion of construction sector has also increased the requirement of warehousing facilities in the country.
What is the Role of Express Delivery market in Qatar logistics & warehousing industry?
Due to the high cost of express delivery as compared to the normal delivery, the share of express delivery remained low in early stages during 2011-2013. Moreover, the initial express delivery started using the road transport which faced major challenges owing to the border issues. The express industry market has evolved from the delivery of documents and parcels to specialist items such as high-tech products, semiconductors, fabrics and garments as well. The services provided by the companies such as guaranteed delivery services, door to door delivery, order tracking and others have strengthened the growth of the express logistics market in the country During 2014-2016, the E-commerce market has grown at a tremendous pace in the country and Qatar been the highest e commerce spending country in per capita terms.

How is the Third party Logistics Market Evolving in Qatar?
Contract logistics in the country has been growing at a tremendous rate in Qatar with contracts being awarded out for freight forwarding and warehousing. During the period from 2011-2013, many major players entered into the space while major growth was brought in by the leading established logistics player which expanded their shares in the market. For an instance during 2011, GWC added a new facility named 33k into contract warehousing which has been the largest third party warehousing facility in Qatar with a ~ square metres.
The third party logistics in the country has grown from a ~% of the market in 2011 to around ~% of the logistics market on the basis of revenues in 2016. The growth has been due to rapidly growing e commerce industry in the country. The ecommerce companies generally prefer to partner with a logistics provider and focus more on their functional area of expertise. Moreover the growth in the third party logistics has also spurred due to the increasing number of contracts offered since more and more corporations have not been able to manage their complex supply chains and hence outsource the contracts to their logistics partners.

Developing Logistics Infrastructure and Rising Warehousing Rental Rate will drive the Qatar Logistics & Warehousing Market: Ken Research

The key catalyst of the logistics and warehousing market growth in the long run is the development of infrastructure and construction sector owing to the FIFA cup that is to be held in Qatar in 2022. This has caused a spree of development in the country which has increased the trade and warehousing activity in the country. In order to handle large volumes of cargo, the available areas in the ports have been converted to additional container storage areas. Such infrastructural developments at the ports are expected to enhance the customer transactions and also will speed up the process of distribution.
Additionally, the ports authority is investing heavily in the development of ports and other logistics areas. Ministry of Economy and Commerce’s Technical Committee announced the completion of preparing the lands allocated for the logistics areas project in the southern regions ahead of schedule, in preparation to be delivered to investors in collaboration with the Special Economic Zones Company. The logistics areas project (with an investment of USD 8.24 billion) is one of Qatari government’s largest projects and includes 1,583 pieces of land (on an area of 6,330,907 sqm). The project will have a positive impact on the market and on the prices of logistics and warehousing in the near future. The project also adds a strategic dimension as it is located close to Hamad Port, Mesaieed Industrial Port and the Orbital Highway, which will serve the specific investments in this project.


The logistics companies are expected to invest on advanced technology solutions such as autonomous logistics, real-time tracking, automation and robotics in order to provide an improved customer service. The growing international trade, incorporation of advanced technology based solutions will help in an efficient delivery of products by the logistics providers. New technology services such as real time tracking provide complete information about the shipment by offering real time data to the customers. Such advanced technologies also allow inventory management and in determining the amount of products available in a particular site to meet the customer needs. The application of autonomous logistics in warehousing is likely to eliminate human error and will enhance operational productivity. The growing e-commerce industry in the country is likely to create a demand of advanced technology services for efficient supply of products to the end customers.
It has been observed that several major companies have been leading towards warehousing and promoting the segment with higher focus as compared to freight forwarding. The freight forwarding segment provides a lower margins as compared to other segments owing to high competition with large number of firms operating in the segment. Moreover, companies would be looking forward to gain from deficient warehousing facilities by expanding in the segment.
According to Research Analyst, Ken Research, the companies should expand their resources by increasing their fleet and warehousing capacity. Moreover, the companies should focus on regularly updating their warehouse with modern technologies to provide better services to the clients. This has been observed that even though the warehousing facilities are cropping up, there is still a lack of proper facilities. The companies should expand their fleet size by introducing different types of vehicles such as trailers, tractors, bulkers and others for different specifications in their resources, especially for the smaller companies, the lack of trailers hurt their capacity to handle larger contracts.
