QATARI MARKET SIZE AND GROWTH

The State of Qatar now presents arguably the largest

untapped business opportunity for interior, fit-out and

construction suppliers of any market in the Middle East.

Already the wealthiest nation on the planet and one of

its fastest growing economies, Qatar is quickly

diversifying away from its traditional reliance on

hydrocarbons and focusing on large-scale infrastructure

development, real estate, tourism and services.

This fundamental market shift is outlined in the “Qatari

National Vision 2030” and backed up with the US$220+

billion of government investment which is being poured

into the design, construction and fit-out of major

commercial, retail, residential, hospitality, transportation,

leisure and recreation projects by 2022.

INDEX Qatar will bring government officials, project

leads, procurement directors, architects and designers

from this enormous range of projects to source the

new suppliers and products that they need to build and

furnish this intensive period of new development.

This is your fast-track ticket into the Qatari market.

The exhibition will give you unprecedented access

to the key decision makers responsible for procuring

solutions for some of the largest design and

construction projects across Qatar.

INDEX has always been involved in this industry – it’s been a player for decades. It attracts our clients and gives us the opportunity to gather and see new trends and then to meet suppliers that we don’t always get to see. I was walking through the halls

today and I think the quality is fantastic.
