Market Growth Factors

E-commerce in Qatar is gaining momentum as the country is witnessing a relatively high internet penetration rate of nearly 99% and smartphone penetration rate of over 95% in recent years. High internet and smartphone penetration rate, and a mobile-first shopping culture, in which mobile devices account for around 70% of all online revenue, have contributed to fast growth. Infrastructure improvements from the 2022 FIFA World Cup like improved nationwide 5G coverage, logistics networks that enable same day delivery throughout the small nation, and a young, affluent, digitally literate population with an appetite for convenience and a wide range of options, contribute to double digit annual growth in B2C sales, with online channels becoming a key part of most consumers' daily lives. The market is projected to reach over USD 4 billion by 2025.

Government initiatives along with national strategies helped the sector's momentum. Digital transformation and economic diversification past hydrocarbons create a portion of both the National Digital Agenda 2030 and Qatar National Vision 2030. Financial outlays such as QR2 billion for AI and data centers in early 2025, initiatives such as TASMU, and instant payment systems such as Fawran lay the groundwork for more reliable digital transactions and processes. Regulations standardizing consumer protection and creating secure payment channels lower the barriers for international firms to access the market. Proactive government regulations and infrastructure help promote innovation within the e-commerce and digital economy sector, contributing billions towards the 2030 digital economy targets.

The growth in demand for personalized, convenient and diverse shopping experiences and online sales of fashion, electronics, grocery items and luxury products is driving the industry's growth. Average order values are high due to a relatively affluent population and a preference for authentic international products sourced overseas. Social commerce drives engagement. Personalized recommendations using artificial intelligence drive engagement. Mobile-first experiences drive engagement. Last-mile delivery fulfills functional needs.
