The total market value of matches in Qatar was estimated at US$ 1. 8 million in 2025 and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1. 8% during the forecast period, owing to factors such as changing lifestyle trends coupled with rising disposable income levels which has led consumers towards luxury items like lighters and candles instead of traditional methods like matchsticks or lighters used earlier by them for lighting purposes thereby contributing negatively towards overall growth rate.
The growth of the Qatar matches market is driven by several key factors. Matches are essential household items used for lighting stoves, candles, and other purposes. Qatar urbanization and expanding residential construction contribute to the demand for matches as convenient fire-starting tools. Additionally, the country`s cultural practices and traditions, such as lighting oil lamps during celebrations, drive the use of matches. Qatar tourism sector also supports the demand for matches in hotels and accommodations. As Qatar population and infrastructure continue to grow, the matches market is expected to experience steady demand, especially in household and hospitality sectors.
The Qatar matches market faces specific challenges that can influence its growth trajectory. One of the key challenges is the increasing awareness of fire safety regulations and the preference for alternative fire-starting methods. The introduction of fire bans in certain areas and the emphasis on preventing fire accidents can impact the demand for traditional matchsticks. Additionally, competition from fire lighters, electronic ignition devices, and other fire-starting alternatives poses challenges for the matches market. The need to ensure product safety and compliance with regulations, especially regarding hazardous materials and packaging, is another challenge. Furthermore, consumer habits and the convenience of alternative fire-starting methods can impact the market demand for matches. Overcoming these challenges requires innovative product offerings, highlighting the convenience and reliability of matches, investing in fire safety education, and exploring sustainable packaging solutions to appeal to modern consumers while preserving the historical significance of matches as a fire-starting tool.
The matches market in Qatar faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily due to disruptions in supply chains and decreased consumer spending. Lockdowns and restrictions led to a decline in outdoor activities and gatherings, which affected the demand for matches. Additionally, supply chain disruptions impacted the availability of raw materials and production, causing temporary supply shortages. As the situation improved, the market showed signs of recovery, especially with an increased emphasis on outdoor recreational activities. The market`s rebound post-COVID-19 is expected to be driven by a combination of pent-up demand and the gradual return to pre-pandemic lifestyles.
