Infrastructure Projects to Drive Qatar’s Construction Sector Growth in 2025

A report by Al Asmakh Real Estate Projects Company highlighted that the extensive package of ongoing and upcoming projects planned for 2025 will be a key driver of growth in Qatar’s construction sector. These projects, managed by various government entities, will contribute significantly to the development of critical sectors such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, communications, and information technology.

The report pointed out that adequate resources have been allocated for the Third National Development Strategy, ensuring continued funding for approved infrastructure projects, particularly those related to municipal affairs, commercial sectors, transportation, health, and education.

Over 3,300 Tenders Expected in 2025 Across 21 Economic Sectors

According to the report, more than 3,300 tenders will be issued in 2025, covering 21 economic sectors and over 189 different activities. The budget for the Ministry of Municipality and Environment reached QAR 21.9 billion, with tenders worth QAR 56.2 billion, including infrastructure projects aimed at developing both new and existing citizen housing plots. The healthcare sector was allocated QAR 22 billion, while QAR 19.4 billion was earmarked for education. The commercial and transport sectors each received QAR 3.9 billion, and the services sector QAR 2.7 billion.

These investments are expected to boost real estate activity by enabling the development of residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties.

Construction Materials Sector to Benefit Amid Expanding Investments

The report also emphasized that sectors like construction materials—especially cement and steel—will benefit from the positive impact of the awarded contracts, particularly those related to building construction. The construction sector is anticipated to remain vibrant in the coming years, with real estate developers and investors expanding their portfolios, encouraged by supportive legislation and new governmental entities linked to the real estate sector.

Government spending on development projects will continue to stimulate the building sector, which in turn will positively impact economic growth on both sectoral and national levels. This has been reflected in recent local reports that show a construction boom across Qatar. The report further noted intense competition in the contracting sector due to significant financial allocations for infrastructure development.

Real Estate Market Activity in April

The report observed a slight decline in real estate transaction values during the week of April 8–10, with 46 transactions recorded and a total transaction value exceeding QAR 145.5 million. Doha and Al Rayyan municipalities led in activity, ranking first and second in terms of the number of executed deals. The average daily number of transactions was around 15.

Residential unit sales totaled over QAR 33 million during the same period, with notable activity in The Pearl, Lusail, and Legtaifiya.

Land Prices: Mixed Trends Across Locations

Al Asmakh’s real estate index revealed varying land prices across different regions. The average asking price per square foot was QAR 1,380 in Al Mansoura and Bin Derham, QAR 1,320 in Najma, QAR 385 in Al Maamoura, and QAR 870 in Old Airport Area (for apartment buildings).
