The market outlook report provides an unbiased and detailed analysis of the ongoing market trends, opportunities/high growth areas, and market drivers which would help the stakeholders to devise and align their market strategies according to the current and future market dynamics.
Qatar Barley Market is anticipated to grow over the forecast period as barley is an essential crop globally due to its diverse uses such as feed, malt for beer production, and food. Qatar consumes a vast amount of barley every year for animal feed production. The country's high demand for barley is attributed to its livestock industry, with the majority of the imports used for animal feed production. The country's barley imports are mostly carried out through the Hamad Port, which offers a massive capacity for handling cargo and reduces the logistical challenges of importing.
According to 6Wresearch, the Qatar Barley Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.59% during the forecast period of 2025-2031. The rising demand for barley for animal feed production is a significant driver of Qatar's barley market. Additionally, the country's growing population and economic development have also driven the market's growth. The country’s domestic poultry industry consumes over 200,000 metric tons yearly, requiring an adequate supply of barley. The government's initiatives to support the agricultural sector through subsidies and investment in irrigation systems have also propelled the growth of Qatar Barley Market Industry. However, the country's food security is affected by external factors such as fluctuations in barley prices, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain disruptions. These challenges can impact the availability and affordability of barley in the country, therefore, impacting its livestock industry. Additionally, the country's arid climate also poses a challenge to barley production, leading to increased dependence on imports. Nevertheless, the development of local barley production to reduce the country's dependence on imports provides opportunities for growth. Moreover, initiatives such as investing in greenhouses for year-round production and introducing new barley strains that are resistant to harsh climates can promote the growth of local barley production.
One policy that has been integral to the growth of the barley market in Qatar is the Qatar National Food Security Programme. This initiative aims to reduce the country's reliance on imports and encourage the growth of the agricultural sector. Through this programme, the government has made significant investments in modernizing irrigation techniques and increasing the use of technology in farming. To further propel the Qatar barley market growth, the Qatar Development Bank's Agribusiness Division has introduced various schemes. The bank provides loans and financing options for farmers looking to expand or invest in the industry.
Some of the prominent players in the Qatar barley market include Al Kharafi & Brothers Co., National Flour Mills Company WLL (NFM), Ghanim Bin Saad Al Saad & Sons Group (GBSS Group), Qatari German for Manufacturing Steel Products WLL (QGSM), EKH Holding WLL and Khalifa Trading and Contracting Co.
The barley market in Qatar is expected to continue its upward trajectory as the country aims for self-sufficiency in the food sector. One of the challenges facing the industry is the climatic and environmental conditions of the region, which are not conducive to agriculture. However, the government's investment in modern farming techniques has helped overcome some of these challenges. Moreover, the use of technology in farming, such as hydroponics and vertical farming, is gaining momentum in Qatar. These techniques have shown promising results in producing crops in a controlled environment and reducing water usage.
According to Mohit, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, the hulless barley is the leading segment in Qatar. Hulless barley is a type of barley that does not have the tough outer hull, making it easier to eat and process. It is also high in fiber and minerals, making it a popular choice for health-conscious consumers.
In terms of Application, the food and beverage segment are currently leading the Qatar Barley Market Share due to the increasing demand for healthy food options. Barley is an essential ingredient in various dishes and beverages, and its demand is expected to increase in the coming years.
