Growth in the Qatar Cold Chain Market Anticipated Owing to the Increase in Demand for Perishable Food Items, Development of Infrastructure and Freight Routes and Government’s Initiatives to Improve the Logistics Infrastructure in the Country as Part of the ‘Qatar National Vision 2030’: Ken Research
Key Findings
- The cold storage market contributed ~70% share to the revenue of the cold chain industry in 2021P, while the cold transport market had accounted the remaining share. However, in near future it is anticipated that the cold transportation market will grow owing to the rising demand for temperature-sensitive products in the country.
- High demand for perishable food products such meat and seafood and dairy is expected to drive the growth of the cold chain logistics market in the country. The pandemic has also led to positive growth in the pharmaceutical sector. The overall cold chain market is, hence, anticipating a positive growth rate in the coming years.
- Qatar is projected to become the world’s second country to allow cell-based meat. The country intends to become a major exporter of plant-based and cell-based products in the region, increasing their dependence on cold chain facilities.
Qatar Freight Master Plan: The Ministry of Transport and Communications is building the Qatar Freight Master Plan, which is expected to be finalized by the end of 2022. The QFMP aims to establish modern infrastructure for freight industry across the country. The aim is to reduce freight traffic on road congestions. It is also preparing a freight route designing guidebook and setting systems and policies relating to freight, its modes and workhours on well-considered routes. The freight industry infrastructure development along with planned freight routes will boost the investments taking place in Qatar’s cold chain industry, allowing the sector to grow and witness increased revenue.
Undertaking Long Distance Rail, Passenger and Freight Rail Projects: The Qatar Rail Development Program (QRDP) envisages development of a long distance passenger and freight rail network to connect major centres of population and industries in Qatar and to form part in planned Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) railway network linking the six countries in GCC (namely, State of Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kingdom of Bahrain and Sultanate of Oman). Moreover, the project involves the construction of passenger and freight railway line linking the border with Saudi Arabia to Mesaieed and the New Doha Port project on the east coast of the peninsula as well as an inland station known as Doha West International, which will connect to Doha Metro. The establishment of these trade and passenger routes will facilitate the growth of the exports and imports of temperature sensitive products, thereby increasing the reliance on cold warehousing and transportation in the country.
Rising Prevalence of Short Contract Terms: 3PL partnerships and cold storage warehouses requiring clients are availing shorter contract terms. Shortening contract terms is leading to longer contract terms being incentivized. Post-Covid, companies have been hesitant to sign 3-5 years contract commitment. Standard warehouse space and 3PL partnership contract terms are being lowered to 1-2 years to increase the number of customers availing a company’s cold storage warehouse facility. JSL is one such company offering short & long term cold warehouse contract facilities.
