DOHA: Qatar’s e-commerce sector is poised for sustained expansion, with market size projected to grow to $4.96 bn (QR18.06bn) in 2026, up from $4.54bn (QR16.53bn) in 2025, according to Mordor Intelligence’s latest data.
According to industry estimates, growth is expected to accelerate further to $7.75bn (QR28.22bn) by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.34 percent between 2026 and 2031.
Analysts say a combination of luxury-oriented consumer behaviour, advanced digital infrastructure, and national economic diversification policies is underpinning the steady rise in transaction values, even as some regional markets experience slower growth.
Hassan Omar, a Doha-based digital economy analyst, stressed that Qatar’s consumer base plays a distinctive role in shaping online retail performance.
“Qatar has one of the highest per capita income levels globally, and that translates into strong demand for premium and curated products online, while luxury consumption is not confined to physical retail anymore,” he told The Peninsula.
