Qatar’s manufacturing industry contributed 26.84 billion Qatari riyals ($7.25 billion) to the national GDP in the first half of 2025, highlighting the country’s significant industrial and economic growth. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry revealed that 13.44 billion riyals were added in the second quarter alone, indicating consistent momentum in the country’s production base.

The data were discussed at the ministry’s third quarterly meeting in 2025, which was led by Minister Sheikh Faisal bin Thani bin Faisal Al-Thani and attended by key officials. The gains are consistent with Qatar’s National Manufacturing Strategy 2024-2030, which seeks 70.5 billion riyals in added value and 49 billion riyals in non-hydrocarbon exports by 2030.

The ministry emphasised the activation of the Qatar-Turkey trade partnership agreement on August 1, which increased trade flows and removed investment barriers. Digital changes proceeded with the development of a platform for public-private partnership initiatives, as well as the introduction of 20 new e-services covering licensing, consumer protection, and anti-fraud measures.

Qatar also had a growth of 81.5% in new business registrations and 6.8% in active licenses. The single-window system processed over 72,000 transactions, resulting in 94% customer satisfaction.
