An Investigation into the Current and
Future
State
of the Construction Industry in Qatar
Expenditure in the construction industry of Qatar grew steadily during 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. In light of the current global credit crunch, a number of questions beg to be asked, however:
- Will the growth trend persevere despite the global market uncertainties?
- If so, what are the projections for growth?
-
Will things get worse, and if they do, how quickly will it change?

Proleads, by rigorously analysing data collected from over 190 construction projects in Qatar, provides answers to these burning questions by
- Presenting the current size of the Qatari construction industry
- Exploring how behaviour in the industry has changed of late, in addition to quantifying the impact of that changed behaviour on the industry itself
- Projecting the future state of the construction industry’s various sectors by using a statistical mechanism based on quantitative and qualitative data collected and processed by Proleads Global
The report firstly defines the problem at hand by creating a context from which the construction industry should be understood. It then goes on to describe how the industry can be quantitatively presented and then provides more information on the sources of data used in the report.
The status quo is described; in terms of inter alia, the current financial size of the industry per sector as well as how the industry is changing. Cash flow sustainability levels are then tested before the key drivers of the industry in 2009 is forecasted. Finally, an estimate of the future state of the industry is derived and interpreted against current world happenings.
The report contains essential explanatory and background information for the reader. In particular, it provides information on the rigour of the data the report is based on - the accuracy of which is estimated at 90%. The origins of the data are discussed and included readers will find an exhaustive list of major Qatari civil construction projects. It also contains contact details of the top five developer companies operating in Qatar. It also briefly outlines the statistical versus economic approach to the report. Terms and concepts used are explained and elaborated on and predictions about the rate of change of key drivers are explored.
