The peat production in Qatar has increased steadily over the past few years. In 2025, around 200,000 tons of peat were produced in Qatar with an estimated value of around US$10 million. The main markets for peat are agriculture and landscaping which account for about 25% and 65%, respectively. The remaining 10% is used by power plants as a fuel source.
The Qatar peat market is expected to witness growth driven by various factors. Peat`s applications in horticulture, landscaping, and soil improvement are gaining traction due to the increasing emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices and environmental conservation in the country. Qatar arid climate and limited arable land make peat an attractive option for enhancing soil fertility and water retention. The government`s focus on greening initiatives and urban development projects further supports the demand for peat in Qatar.
The Qatar peat market faces specific challenges driven by its arid climate and limited local peat resources. Peat is a valuable resource for horticulture and soil improvement, but its scarcity in Qatar necessitates imports. The transportation costs and carbon footprint associated with importing peat can affect its economic viability and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the demand for peat alternatives due to environmental concerns and the need for more sustainable soil management practices adds complexity to the market. Balancing the benefits of peat with its environmental impact and exploring suitable local alternatives become crucial challenges for the market players.
The Qatar peat market has shown limited development due to the country`s arid climate and limited natural resources. Peat is primarily used as a soil amendment and in horticultural applications. The pandemic`s impact on this market was relatively minor, as demand remained relatively stable. However, Qatar sustainability efforts and increasing interest in landscaping and gardening could drive a gradual uptick in demand for peat-based products. The market`s growth trajectory will depend on sustainable sourcing practices and the promotion of eco-friendly solutions.
Qatar Petroleum (QP) is one of the major players in the country`s peat market. Other key players include Maersk Oil Trading, Total Exploration & Production Qatar (TEPQ), Dolphin Energy Ltd. , Taweelah Asia Power Company (TAPCO) and Ras Laffan Industrial City (RLIC).
