Qatar Pharmaceuticals Market Overview, Trends, Size and Forecast: 2025-2030

The Qatar Pharmaceuticals Market size is valued at around USD 532 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 698 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 5.58% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The market growth is driven by significant growth factors, including the better healthcare requirements due to the growing incidence of chronic diseases & infectious diseases, the allocation of heavy funds through Qatar’s government, and the widespread adoption of e-pharmacy due to the presence of low production facilities for pharmaceutical products. One of the major growth factors is the rapid surge in the elderly population in Qatar, which is extremely vulnerable to these diseases due to low immunity. Approximately thousands of individuals are senior citizens in Qatar, which is expected to rise to lakhs of individuals in the upcoming years. As a result, the rapidly growing aging population is accelerating the market size & volume.

Additionally, the government of the country is providing a substantial amount of funds for the extension of pharmaceutical production units in the country to minimize import reliance. Also, the companies are investing heavily in the incorporation of smart technologies in the manufacturing units to improve the pharmaceutical industry, thus contributing to the potential market growth & expansion.

Moreover, the high internet penetration and smartphone adoption have led to the entry of e-pharmacy in the country, which is positively shaping the growth trajectory of the Pharmaceutical Industry. However, the shortage of production facilities leads to high import dependence, thus hampering the market growth, further states the research report, “Qatar Pharmaceuticals Market Analysis, 2025.”
